Before travelling to Lviv to volunteer, I reached out to Diemer through Living in Lviv - and the support I received was invaluable. He was incredibly service-minded and answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly in writing as well as in a brief video chat. He also connected me with relevant volunteer groups and communities, including opportunities to meet other volunteers, and shared practical, reliable information about safety in the region (including links to official alerts and resources). Once I arrived, I met Diemer in person and he even took the time to show me around. He is genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Thanks to his guidance, I felt informed, safe, and welcomed from the very beginning. Highly recommended for anyone coming to Lviv for the first time — especially volunteers.

Note: For specific visa related questions, I will refer you to my immigration lawyer. I can share only how my personal visa process went (D10 + TRP through NGO) because I experienced it myself.
