A few days ago the Ukraine changed the entry regulations so that only those who were completely vaccinated can enter without any conditions. Those who have been tested must also install the so-called Vdoma app and carry out another test in the Ukraine within 72 hours.

Alternatively, you can leave the country again within 72 hours. In any case, people who can show a negative antigen or PCR result on entry can stay in Ukraine for up to 72 hours. Vaccinated persons are not affected by this requirement.

An insurance policy that covers corona diseases on the territory of Ukraine must still be presented. This is extremely inexpensive via the official Tourismhomepage VisitUkraine.today sold. There you will also find all the information relevant to entry that is up-to-date on a daily basis.
