Complete guide to travel insurance for Ukraine for Congolese citizens
Why you need travel insurance for Ukraine
Ukraine requires all foreign visitors, including citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to have health insurance with a minimum coverage of €30,000. This is a legal requirement for entry and is also essential for your safety given the ongoing war.
Without valid insurance, you may be denied entry at the border. Additionally, medical costs in Ukraine can be high, and public healthcare may not be accessible to foreigners. Insurance ensures you receive timely medical care without financial burden.
When selecting insurance, ensure the policy meets Ukrainian requirements: minimum €30,000 coverage, valid for the entire stay, and issued by a recognized insurer. Look for policies that explicitly cover passive war risks.
Consider the duration of your stay, any planned activities, and whether you need additional coverage for trip cancellation or baggage loss. Our policies are tailored for Congolese travelers and are accepted by Ukrainian authorities.
