Despite martial law, foreigners continue to enter Ukraine for personal, humanitarian, business reasons or for travel. Such a trip requires proper preparation, in particular, the availability of mandatory insurance. This year, travel insurance to Ukraine 2025 must include coverage of war risks, since the situation in the country remains dangerous.


Fortunately, the process of obtaining an insurance policy has become simple: you can apply for travel insurance to Ukraine online in a few minutes. This policy provides not only medical care, but also covers expenses in the event of emergency events caused by war.




Why should travel insurance for travel to Ukraine include coverage of war risks?


According to Article 16 of the Law of Ukraine “On Tourism” and the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, for foreign citizens planning a trip to Ukraine, an insurance policy is a mandatory document for entry into the territory of the state. The document must compensate for the provision of medical care to a foreigner and reimbursement of expenses in the event of an insured event directly in the country of temporary stay.


In addition, given the security situation in Ukraine, simply having medical insurance to enter the country is not enough. Although the main hostilities are concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, the threat of missile strikes and drone attacks remains throughout the country. In the event of injury or the need for evacuation, the cost of medical services and transportation can reach several thousand dollars. That is why travel insurance with military risks in Ukraine is not just a recommendation, but a reasonable necessity.


It is also worth noting that for journalists, reporters, correspondents, opinion leaders, as well as media representatives, insurance to cover military risks is mandatory. This is enshrined in the Law of Ukraine on Insurance (Article 7).


Who is this type of insurance suitable for?


All foreign citizens planning a visit to the country can take out war risk insurance in Ukraine, with the exception of:


- Military personnel.

- Citizens of aggressor countries (Russia, Belarus).


All other tourists, volunteers, businessmen and relatives of Ukrainians should obtain medical insurance of Ukraine with war risk coverage. There are no age restrictions: both minors and people over 70 years old can buy insurance.

What does war risk insurance cover?


War risk insurance has classic medical insurance compensation, as well as a number of additional benefits:


1. Diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19, including costs for forced observation. Currently, there are no restrictions on coronavirus infection in Ukraine, however, in the event of illness, the insured person will be able to receive diagnostics, treatment and other necessary medical services within the scope of the policy coverage.


2. Outpatient treatment (visit to the doctor, consultation, examination, etc.), medications (prescribed by a doctor) and hospitalization (stay in the intensive care unit, intensive care unit, purchase of medications, etc.).


3. Emergency dental care. In particular, in the event of an acute toothache that requires emergency dental care for medical reasons (assistance is provided within the established limits).


4. Medical evacuation (if necessary).


5. Repatriation of the insured person (or his body in the event of death) from the place of stay to the place of his permanent residence.


6. Accidents, injuries and fatalities that may occur as a result of active or passive military risks or terrorist acts.


This is not a standard policy - it is specialized insurance adapted to the realities of Ukraine in 2025.


In addition to health insurance against war risks, we recommend taking care of your own car, as it can also be damaged by shelling or falling debris. In order not to worry about financial losses and protect your car from damage, we recommend purchasing a MINI-CASCO car insurance policy before entering Ukraine.
