What a tourist visa needs
A Type C visa is for short visits of up to 90 days. Consulates require proof of travel medical insurance covering the trip dates, and border officers can ask to see it. A standard policy matching your visit dates satisfies the requirement.
What the cover includes
Tourist cover pays for emergency medical care in Ukraine — hospitalisation, outpatient treatment, doctor call-outs, ambulance, prescribed medicine and emergency dental — plus evacuation and repatriation. COVID-19 treatment is included, and a war-risk extension is available.
How much cover and how long
The standard is €30,000 of medical expenses, valid across Ukraine. Policies run for 3 to 180 days, priced per day from €3.30, so you only pay for the days of your visit.
How to get covered before you fly
Enter your travel dates online, pick your plan, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and receive the policy PDF within minutes — ready to attach to your visa application or show at the border.
