Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you are a worker considering a job in Ukraine or a recruitment agency exploring partnership, this page points you to the right answers. Asia Work receives hundreds of questions every month from candidates in India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and the Gulf, as well as from agency owners looking to add Ukraine to their placement portfolio.

We organized the most common questions into two dedicated sections based on who is asking. Each section contains 20–30 questions with specific, actionable answers that include timelines, document lists, and links to detailed guides elsewhere on the site.

Asia Work is a Ukrainian company based in Kyiv. Our team handles work permits, D visas, employer coordination, and arrival logistics for workers from 12 Asian countries. We also operate a B2B partnership program for licensed recruitment agencies.

• •Work permit and D visa — who applies, where you attend the consulate appointment, what happens if your visa is rejected
• •Travel and arrival — flights, Moldova transit route, what to expect at the border
• •Living in Ukraine — accommodation, food, weather, safety, internet and communication
• •Work and salary — payment schedule, overtime, contract renewal, changing employers
