What do I need to know before moving to Ukraine?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Ukraine, they said...
"Before moving to Ukraine, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, as English is not widely spoken. It is also important to research the cost of living in Ukraine, as prices can vary significantly depending on the city and region. Additionally, expats should be aware of the visa requirements for entering and staying in Ukraine, as well as the process for obtaining a work permit. It is also important to research the healthcare system in Ukraine, as well as the availability of international health insurance. Finally, expats should be aware of the cultural norms and customs in Ukraine, as well as the local laws and regulations," explained one expat living in Ukraine.
