KAUFEN

As long as the skies over Ukraine remain closed to civilian aircraft, the only way to get to the country is by land: public transport (buses/trains) or by car. At some border crossings with Ukraine, it is also possible to cross the border on foot, but at most of them this can only be done to leave Ukraine and only for evacuation purposes.

In general, it is currently possible to enter Ukraine through the checkpoints located on the borders with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova.

Please note! When planning a trip to Ukraine, first of all, you need to take care of the appropriate insurance policy, as any foreign insurance automatically terminates after crossing the Ukrainian border. In this case, we recommend that you take out insurance with military risk coverage, which will cover not only standard medical care/treatment/diagnosis, etc. but also accidents and injuries caused by passive or direct military risks.

You can take out such insurance on the Visit Ukraine website. Follow the link and choose an insurance policy with the appropriate coverage and indemnity amount for the required period.

Just a reminder. Every year, popular tourist destinations introduce new taxes and fees for travellers. In 2025, tourists will face changes in the taxation system in many countries. Read about the new travel taxes and the importance of having travel insurance here.
