Your Trusted Guide to Safe Travel in Ukraine

It depends on your nationality. Citizens of the EU, USA, UK, Canada, Japan, and many other countries can enter Ukraine visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Some nationalities require an e-Visa or a consular visa. Use our country guide to check your specific requirements.

While not strictly mandatory for all visitors, travel insurance is highly recommended and may be required for certain visa types. Given the ongoing martial law, cover for medical expenses arising from war risk injuries matters most — many ordinary travel policies exclude them. Both SafeTrip plans include war risk injuries, emergency care and medical repatriation.

Ukraine remains under martial law. Western and central cities like Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Dnipro are accessible to tourists, but air-raid alerts, curfews, and checkpoints are part of daily life. Travel to front-line areas in the east and south is restricted. Always install air-raid alert apps, carry ID, follow local instructions, and register with your embassy before traveling.

At minimum, you need a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity), proof of sufficient funds, a return or onward ticket, and travel insurance. Depending on your nationality, you may also need a visa or invitation letter. Some border checkpoints may ask for proof of accommodation.

SafeTrip sells two plans through insurance-ukraine.com, both covering 3 to 180 days. Basic is insured for 100,000 UAH (≈ €2,000) and starts at €3.56 for the first three days, plus €1.08 for each extra day. Advanced is insured for €30,000 — the limit consulates usually ask for — and starts at €5.75 for the first three days, plus €1.73 for each extra day. These are the prices charged at checkout, commission included.
