For Hosts
WWOOF Sweden works to protect both your safety and the integrity of our volunteer program.
Key points:
Hosts are not required, and are actually discouraged, from providing invitation letters or helping volunteers with visas.
Issuing documents can create legal responsibility and potential problems if the Swedish Migration Agency deems them incorrect or insufficient.
WWOOF is a cultural exchange, not employment. Invitation letters may be misinterpreted as proof of employment, putting hosts at risk.
Visa matters must always be handled directly by the volunteer. You can, if you like, kindly refer them to our website with clear guidance.
By following these rules, you ensure your role as a WWOOF host remains safe, enjoyable, and compliant with Swedish law.
