Pre-departure considerations for physical deployments | |
Does this duty station require candidates to have undertaken SSAFE training? If so, can the office provide training upon arrival? | SSAFE training is recommended as it is mandatory in case of travel to Ukraine. The UNFPA Regional Office (RO) will provide training upon candidate’s arrival. |
Visa Are there any special/new, specific visa considerations that need to be considered? |
This role requires frequent travel through EU countries and therefore would require a candidate who either has a Schengen visa or can quickly receive one. |
