Your guide to Ukraine

Plan your journey, explore accommodation options and prepare for volunteering in Ukraine.

Rent in Ukraine

For longer stays, consider an apartment or a shared rental with other volunteers. Agree the price, included bills, deposit and rental terms directly with the host before committing.

Entry rules to Ukraine

Visa and entry requirements depend on your nationality and planned stay. IVC's guide covers the D-10 volunteer visa and temporary residence topics. Check the applicable requirements with the Ukrainian authorities before travelling.

Transportation to Ukraine

The guide describes routes via Poland, including Rzeszow, Lublin and Krakow, with onward bus or train travel and connections via Przemysl. Confirm current routes, timetables and border arrangements with the operator.

Accommodation in Ukraine

Options include hostels, hotels, apartments and accommodation shared with other volunteers. Ask IVC about the volunteer discount card for participating hotels and hostels, and confirm prices and availability directly.

Arrive prepared

Learn some basic Ukrainian, pack for the season, keep important documents secure and respect local rules and customs. Stay flexible, ask for help and make time for rest.
