What we offer to those affected by war in Ukraine?

After the Russian invasion in Ukraine, ~5 mil. of refugees fled from the war-torn country. Many people run from their political regimes in Belarus and Russia as well. Since then, companies started to rapidly relocate their employees into the neighbouring countries. Relocating workers allows international global businesses to keep their team safe in the time of big changes and stresses. Acvian helps to facilitate this process and provide relocation packages to everyone affected by the war to ensure business continuity.

Since the war started, Ukrainian citizens are allowed to travel to the European Union and move between the different Schengen states freely without a visa. Taking into account current situation, the EU has initiated a new protection scheme under which Ukrainian refugees are now granted permission to stay in the EU for at least one year with possible extension.

According to the Temporary Protection Directive activated by the European Commission all Ukrainians fleeing the war are given temporary protection in the EU, which means they are offered an access to the labor market and have the right to work in the country of their current residing without any additional permissions. Alternatively, with help of EOR agencies any business can easily hire relocated Ukrainian workers directly with minimum requirements and red tape.

Based on official statistics, most Ukrainian citizens are migrating to such EU countries as Poland, Slovakia, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Moldova and more. These countries provide a simplified procedure for immediate compliant employment. Nevertheless, it is possible to relocate employees from Ukraine to any country worldwide.

Although this war has affected Ukrainians mainly, there are many people in Russia and Belarus who are seeking the option to leave their country due to fear of possible martial law, financial instability and full isolation. Due to declared sanctions, Russia and Belarus are banned from landing in over 35 countries worldwide, mainly in Europe. However, it is possible to fly to Middle East countries such as Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia and others. Besides, based on the barrier and prohibitions Rusians and Belarusians face difficulties with visa processing in many European countries too. The most safe and guaranteed destinations for relocation remain Turkey, Cyprus, UAE, Kazakhstan, Armenia.

Being a global EOR provider Acvian serves as an official employer for your workforce in any country worldwide. We will guide you through the peculiarities of local legislation and compliance, will help you swiftly onboard employees, manage HR and payroll in the target country.

Case Study

Relocation from Ukraine to Poland

Since the war, Poland has become one of the most popular destinations for Ukrainian workers relocation. It provides a great environment for life, work and business operation.
