Insurance is on the entry checklist — not in the fine print

Under Ukraine's current entry rules, foreign nationals are expected to hold a valid medical insurance policy for the whole stay, and border officers may ask to see it next to your passport. In practice checks are selective — but the traveller who gets asked and has nothing to show is the one who spends the next hour at the checkpoint, and entry can be refused. For journalists and media crews the requirement is written directly into Article 7 of Ukraine's insurance law.

There is a money reason on top of the legal one: Ukrainian clinics bill foreigners up front, in cash or by card, before treatment. With a certificate, the insurer's 24/7 line arranges and guarantees payment instead of you. Start with the full entry checklist or get the certificate now.

Why the Extended plan is what most travellers pick

Here is the uncomfortable part your insurer at home won't volunteer: nearly every mainstream travel policy carries a war exclusion, and many void coverage for Ukraine entirely. A policy that quietly doesn't work is worse than no policy.

The Extended plan is underwritten for Ukraine as it is now: passive war-risk cover (you as a civilian, never a participant), €30,000 insured sum, private clinics with English-speaking doctors. The upgrade costs about €2 on a 3-day trip — less than the coffee you'll buy at the border queue. How war-risk cover works →

Who this certificate works for

Tourists and business visitors get the border document plus real medical cover. Journalists satisfy the Article 7 mandate — details here. Students cover both the border and university enrollment, up to 180 days per policy — student guide. Volunteers and drivers get war-risk options built for where they actually go — see volunteers and drivers.

Frequently asked questions

Is insurance mandatory to enter Ukraine?

Under current entry rules, foreign nationals should hold valid medical insurance for their stay, and border officers may request proof — entry can be refused without it. For journalists and media representatives the requirement is explicit in Article 7 of Ukraine's insurance law.

Will the certificate be accepted at the border?

Yes. The certificate is issued by a licensed insurer and is recognised at every open crossing — from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova. It is issued in English and Ukrainian.

How fast do I get the document?

The PDF arrives by email immediately after payment. From the first form field to a border-ready certificate takes about five minutes.

Digital or printed?

A PDF on your phone is accepted. A printed backup copy is sensible in case of a dead battery or no signal at the checkpoint.

How much does it cost?

Standard cover starts at €3.56 for 3 days (about €1.08 per extra day). Extended with war-risk cover starts at €5.75 for 3 days. The exact premium depends on your trip dates.
