Frequently Asked Questions

  • This depends entirely on the region. Eastern and southern Ukraine remain active conflict zones — we do not place workers there. Western Ukrainian cities like Lviv have experienced relatively few direct incidents and maintain a functioning normal daily life. We monitor the security situation continuously and provide workers with full situational briefings, emergency protocols, and the contractual right to leave if conditions change. We are honest: there is elevated risk compared to working in Poland or Albania, and each worker must make an informed personal decision.

  • Every contract we facilitate for Ukraine includes an emergency repatriation clause. If the security situation in your work region deteriorates to a defined threat level, we activate our emergency protocol: you stop work, are transported to a safe exit point, and are repatriated at no cost to you. Your welfare is our non-negotiable priority.

  • Ukrainian work permits are issued for up to 2 years. They can be renewed provided your employment continues, your employer is in good standing, and your documents remain valid. The Ukrainian government has indicated it will maintain favorable conditions for international reconstruction workers for the foreseeable future given the scale and duration of the rebuilding need.

  • Our Ukraine package is one of the most affordable European work options available. It covers work permit processing, employer matching, visa preparation, DHL document delivery, and relocation support. We share full pricing during your free consultation, and our commitment is to keep this opportunity accessible while maintaining full legal compliance.

  • Ukrainian work permits are processed in just 1–3 weeks — among the fastest in Europe for non-EU workers. The streamlined process is partly due to Ukraine's active efforts to attract international workers for reconstruction and economic development.

  • All our placements are in western Ukraine only — primarily in and around Lviv, which is over 1,000 km from any active conflict zone. Western Ukraine maintains normal daily life with functioning businesses, public transport, restaurants, and social life. We never place workers in eastern or southern regions.

  • After 1 year of legal work in Ukraine with a clean record and verified employment history, you become eligible for transfer to EU countries through our network. The European work experience, documented salary history, and references you build in Ukraine significantly strengthen your EU work permit applications.

  • Salaries range from €400–1,000/month depending on the position. Warehouse workers earn approximately €850/month, production operators €900/month, and drivers with C/D/E licenses up to €1,000/month. Accommodation is typically arranged by the employer, reducing your living expenses significantly.

  • You fly to Chisinau, Moldova, where our team meets you at the airport and arranges your transfer to your workplace in western Ukraine. This routing is used because direct flights to Ukrainian airports are currently limited. All logistics are arranged before your departure.

  • To start, you need a valid passport scan and a digital passport photo. We handle the complete document package — work permit, employment contract, guarantee letters, and proof of residence — and send everything via DHL. Additional documents like police clearance are required at a later stage.

  • No, flight costs are separate. However, we provide expert advice on optimal routes, booking timing, and cost-effective travel options to help you plan your journey.

  • Yes. Every client is assigned a personal Immigration Advisor who provides one-on-one support from your first consultation until your visa is issued and you arrive at your destination.
