Who needs this insurance

Portuguese citizens and Portuguese nationals traveling to Ukraine should arrange compliant health insurance before arrival. This applies whether the visit is for tourism, family reasons, business, or another short-term stay.

Travelers who have already left Portugal can still buy the policy online from anywhere in the world and receive the certificate by email. For entry purposes, the policy should be active for the dates you plan to be in Ukraine.

Digital purchase and certificate delivery

Policies can be purchased through Innovative-Ukraine.com, with the certificate issued within minutes. A digital copy on a smartphone or tablet is officially recognized by Ukrainian authorities, so a printed copy is not required.

The checkout supports secure online payment options and displays GDPR compliant, SSL secure, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, and Mastercard indicators.

Edge cases to check before travel

If you are already outside Portugal

You can buy online even after leaving Portugal. Make sure the coverage dates match your actual arrival and departure dates for Ukraine.

If your travel dates change

Update or replace the policy before travel if the insured dates no longer match your itinerary. The certificate should reflect the period you need coverage in Ukraine.

If you enter with digital documents only

A digital insurance certificate is accepted, but keep your phone charged and store the document where it can be opened without delay at the border.

If your accommodation changes

Carry updated accommodation details, whether you are staying in a hotel or with a private host. This is separate from insurance but part of the listed entry documentation.
