The same policy that citizens of over 50 countries use to enter Ukraine, here in your language with email support.
01 — Why you need it
Does my travel insurance also work in Ukraine?
In most cases no, and it is better to know before you leave. Standard travel policies almost always include a conflict-zone exclusion clause, and Ukraine is on the Italian Foreign Ministry's list of countries where travel is advised against. At the border, moreover, you are asked for a policy that explicitly covers Ukrainian territory for the whole stay. That is why a dedicated policy exists: the same one citizens of every country use to enter Ukraine.

What does the Ukrainian border guard check?
1That the policy covers Ukraine. The country name must appear in the document: a «Europe» or «Worldwide» policy with a conflict-zone exclusion is not enough.
2That the dates cover the whole stay. The policy end date must be the same as or later than the planned exit date.
3That it is issued by a company authorised in Ukraine. The policy number is checked in the insurer's register: EUROINS is listed in the register of Ukrainian insurers.
Practical tip: if you already have travel insurance, look for «territorial exclusions» and «war risk» in the terms. If Ukraine is not explicitly covered, the policy is not accepted at the border. Legal basis: Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 57 and Art. 7 of the Border Control Law.
02 — What it covers
What does the policy cover in Ukraine?
Emergency medical expenses, hospitalisation, ambulance, urgent dental care and medical evacuation, up to €30,000 with the Complete package. Complete also includes injuries from acts of war, radiation exposure and repatriation of remains. Treatment is arranged by the insurer's assistance centre, open 24 hours a day in Ukraine.
€30,000
Medical limit
The level required by Ukrainian law for foreign visitors. Covers consultations, tests, hospitalisation, urgent procedures and medication prescribed in hospital.
War risk
Injuries from acts of war are covered: the guarantee standard travel policies usually leave out.
Complete
Medical evacuation
Transport to the nearest suitable hospital, across the border if medically necessary.
Ambulance and emergency room
Call 103, transport and first treatment coordinated by the assistance centre, no upfront payment.
Urgent dental care
Acute pain, abscess, trauma: emergency treatment is included in both packages.
Radiation and repatriation Complete
Radiation exposure (optional add-on) and repatriation of remains to Italy are included in Complete. Not included in Basic.
What it does not cover, like any travel health policy
Chronic or pre-existing conditions and their foreseeable flare-ups
Non-urgent care, check-ups, planned procedures and cosmetic treatment
Injuries under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Luggage, cancelled flights and third-party liability: it is a health policy, not a full travel policy
The full terms are in the policy PDF, in English and Ukrainian, which you receive by email after payment.
03 — Who travels
Who travels from Italy to Ukraine today?
Volunteers with NGOs, entrepreneurs with Ukrainian partners, journalists, Italian-Ukrainian families, engineers and reconstruction professionals. Needs differ, the rule at the border is the same for everyone: a valid policy for the whole stay. Here is what suits each.
Volunteers and NGOs
Missions from 2 weeks to 6 months, often near the front line. You need the Complete package with war risk: organisations ask for it before departure. Up to 180 days in a single policy.
Business and trade fairs
Short trips of 3–7 days to Kyiv, Lviv or Odesa, often decided at the last minute. The policy is issued in 15 minutes even from Rzeszów airport or the train to Przemyśl, before border control.
Journalists and media
Reporters and correspondents: war risk is the guarantee that matters. The Complete package covers injuries from acts of war and medical evacuation.
Italian-Ukrainian families
Spouses and children with Italian passports visiting relatives. Up to 9 people can be added to the form: one policy for the whole family, one payment.
Reconstruction and technicians
Engineers, installers, energy consultants on 1–3 month assignments. Complete is recommended; the policy is renewed online for the next stay.
Dual citizens
Whoever enters with an Italian passport is a foreigner for the Ukrainian border guard: the policy is required even if you also hold Ukrainian citizenship.
04 — Prices

From €3,56 for 3 days with the Basic package and from €5,75 with Complete, fees included. Each extra day costs €1,08 or €1,73. For 14 days with Complete the final price is €24,75: the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay.

Seven things to do before boarding the train to Przemyśl or the flight to Rzeszów. None takes more than ten minutes.
Valid passport
Italian citizens enter Ukraine visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180, with a passport only. ID cards are not accepted.
Health insurance for Ukraine
PDF saved on your phone and, if possible, printed. The border guard checks name, dates and policy number.
Registration on «Dove siamo nel mondo»
The Italian Foreign Ministry service (dovesiamonelmondo.it) lets the Crisis Unit contact you in an emergency. Recommended for every trip to Ukraine.
Useful contacts saved
Italian Embassy in Kyiv (check hours and numbers on ambkiev.esteri.it), Farnesina Crisis Unit +39 06 36225, emergencies in Ukraine 112, ambulance 103.
Cash and card
Visa and Mastercard work everywhere in Ukraine, but some hryvnia or euros in cash help with trains and taxis at the border.
SIM and roaming
Italian operators charge pay-as-you-go roaming in Ukraine, and it is expensive. At the border and in every station you can buy a Kyivstar, Vodafone or lifecell SIM with a tourist bundle for a few euros: bring your passport.
Air-raid alert app
Install «Повітряна тривога» (Air Raid Alert) and enable notifications for the region you are in. You hear the sirens, but the app tells you when the alert is over.

08 — What they say
Who has already used it to enter Ukraine
Volunteers, families, professionals. Different stories, same border check passed.
volunteer
Left with a humanitarian load for Kharkiv. The NGO asked for a policy with war risk: done from the train, PDF arrived before Przemyśl. At the border they checked it in thirty seconds.
LLuca M.Bergamo
family
My husband is Ukrainian; we went to visit his parents in Lviv with our two children. One policy for all four, one payment. Much simpler than I expected.
FFrancesca R.Turin
business
Four-day site visit for a solar plant near Kyiv. My company policy excluded Ukraine; I bought this one in ten minutes from Rzeszów airport.
AAndrea C.Padua
journalist
Three-week assignment. Clear price, readable English terms, war risk in black and white. Exactly what field work needs.
CChiara B.Bologna
reconstruction
Two-month assignment on a site in Odesa. I took the Complete package: 180 days maximum, so one policy covers the whole period.
GGiovanni P.Rome
dual citizenship
I have Italian and Ukrainian passports. I didn't know the policy was needed when entering with the Italian one: I found out here and got it the night before. Thanks for the clarity.

10 — Questions
Frequently asked questions
The answers Italian citizens look for before leaving for Ukraine.
Yes. Resolution No. 57 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and Art. 7 of the Border Control Law require every foreign citizen to hold a health policy valid on Ukrainian territory for the whole stay. Without a policy the border guard may refuse entry.
In most cases no. Standard travel policies contain an exclusion clause for countries in armed conflict, and Ukraine is on the Italian Foreign Ministry's list of destinations where travel is advised against. Look for «territorial exclusions» and «war risk» in the terms: if Ukraine is not explicitly covered, the policy is not accepted at the border.
€24.75 with the Complete package (€30,000 limit, war risk included) and €15.44 with Basic, fees included. The price grows by €1.73 per day with Complete and €1.08 with Basic. The calculator at the top of the page shows the exact price for any length from 3 to 180 days.
The border guard may refuse entry. In practice many travellers buy the policy on their phone while queuing at the crossing: issuing takes about 15 minutes and the PDF arrives by email, so it can be fixed on the spot if there is a connection.
No. Italian citizens enter Ukraine visa-free for stays of up to 90 days in a 180-day period, with a valid passport. ID cards are not accepted. Health insurance remains mandatory.
Yes, in the Complete package. Injuries caused by acts of war are included in the medical coverage up to €30,000, together with medical evacuation and repatriation of remains. The Basic package does not include war risk.
Yes. Up to 9 companions can be added to the form, each with name, passport, date of birth and citizenship. Every person pays the same price; there is one payment and everyone receives their own policy in the PDF.
The PDF arrives by email within minutes of payment, usually within 15 minutes of starting the form. At the border just show it on your phone together with your passport; printing is not required but recommended.
