WWOOF Ireland T-shirts
Important information if you are not from an EU/Schengen Area country
The UK has recently changed its attitude towards volunteer schemes and this may affect some WWOOFers traveling via the UK to Ireland.
If you are not from an EEA country (The USA for example) and are traveling to Ireland via the UK, you should contact us well before your departure date for advice about entry requirements. This applies even if you are only transferring between flights at a UK airport, including Belfast.
If you are intending to travel between Ireland and Northern Ireland (part of the UK) for a WWOOFing placement, you should also contact us for advice.
There is more general information about entry requirements in the FAQ section of the site.
A reminder about the need for insurance
Your are reminded that insurance is essential for all WWOOFers. There have been recent problems where WWOOFers became ill and needed expensive treatment.
WWOOFers from the EU area and Switzerland must also have a European Health Insurance Card. This provides free medical treatment in Ireland. It is NOT a substitute for more extensive cover which will also pay for transport to hospital and other expenses. You should not expect your host to cover these expenses if you become ill, have an accident, damage property, have belongings stolen or have a claim from a third party.
WWOOFers from outside the EU area really DO need insurance as you will have to pay for ALL medical treatment - just one visit to a doctor in Ireland could be more that twice the cost of the insurance policy, prescription medication will be charged at the full rate and a visit to a hospital for emergency treatment will be many times the cost of the policy.
Many hosts now insist on evidence of insurance - we advise all hosts to consider this. The OVEuropa policy is very good value, is designed for WWOOFers and is easy to get. It is only 25 Euro. Please get it.
