Viele Ausländer stehen vor der Frage: Ist eine ausländische Versicherung in der Ukraine relevant? Aufgrund des Kriegsrechts in der Ukraine enden die meisten Policen automatisch nach dem Überqueren der ukrainischen Grenze. Finden Sie heraus, welche Versicherungspolice Sie wählen müssen, um in der Ukraine so sicher wie möglich zu sein.
To enter Ukraine, foreigners are required to have an insurance policy. Many non-residents are faced with the question of the validity of foreign insurance in Ukraine and the choice between foreign and Ukrainian companies providing such services. In this material, we have collected the basic information on this issue so that the chosen policy is the most effective for you.
Introduction: Can foreigners use their insurance in Ukraine?
Yes, foreign policies are valid under certain conditions. In particular, in normal times, insurance policies are valid, but not during martial law. Most international policies are not valid in countries where war is ongoing. That is, when a person travels to Ukraine, his or her policy automatically terminates upon crossing the border: the person has ‘violated the terms of the contract’ and gone to a territory where the risks are several times higher.
When is foreign health insurance accepted in Ukraine?
Foreign insurance must comply with a number of rules to be valid in Ukraine:
1. The foreign insurance company has a representative office in Ukraine or has entered into cooperation agreements with Ukrainian partners.
2. The policy does not contradict the requirements of Ukrainian legislation.
Usually, the insurance covers standard medical expenses, but it should be borne in mind that due to military operations on the territory of Ukraine, it is important for every foreigner to have protection against passive and active war risks.
Restrictions due to the war: Why do most foreign insurers not cover travel to Ukraine?
Most international insurance contracts have a clause that limits coverage for damage caused by force majeure. And the war (constant rocket attacks and air raids) is exactly one of those circumstances.
Even if the policy is valid on the territory of Ukraine, a foreigner will not be able to receive a payment for an incident related to the war.
Please note! Ukraine is currently a high-risk area that is not covered by most international insurances.
