Interestingly, the number of Moldovan citizens who visited Ukraine exceeds the total number of EU citizens and amounts to 519,906, which is 43.75% of the total number of foreigners. Thus, EU and Moldovan citizens accounted for 85.64% of all foreign visitors to Ukraine in the first half of 2024. However, it is worth noting that countries such as the United States, Israel, and Turkey are among the top 10 countries in terms of visits to Ukraine.

For reference: in 2023, the situation was similar: out of almost 2.5 million foreign nationals who entered the country during the year, just over one million were Moldovan citizens.

Remember! Regardless of the purpose of entering Ukraine and the duration of your trip, it is mandatory for every foreign citizen to obtain an appropriate insurance policy. Given the existing threats, we recommend taking out insurance covering military risks, which will guarantee the protection and provision of medical care to foreign nationals in unforeseen situations. You can get such insurance from a licensed and trusted insurance agent online on the Visit Ukraine portal.
