Logistics, travel and accommodation
The project organiser may need to consider the following:
Entry requirements and visas
The time required for passport application and visa processing should be factored into the pre-departure timeline. The entry requirements for different countries might vary for students from different nationalities.
Flights and travel
For most travel arrangements and flight bookings made by University staff the approved travel agent is Egencia.
Accommodation
Potential accommodation options should be checked as suitable and appropriate depending on the nature and location of the volunteering project. This should include safety and security, proximity to the placement, and necessary provisions on site (e.g. water, mosquito nets, bed etc.). Where visits are not possible, the assessment of suitable accommodation can be undertaken via the partner organisation.
