With insurance, you can be sure of receiving high-quality medical services wherever you are.
On the Visit Ukraine portal, you can take out insurance online in a few minutes. It is convenient, reliable and as simple as possible!
What does health insurance cover?
Health insurance can include coverage for various health and travel emergencies. Usually, a basic policy covers:
● Medical consultations and diagnostics;
● Treatment in case of illness or injury;
● Emergency medical care, including hospitalization;
● Medicines prescribed by a doctor;
● Transportation costs for evacuation to the nearest medical facility;
● Emergency dental care, etc.
Extended health insurance may additionally cover the costs of vaccinations, emergency surgeries, gynecological care, repatriation of the body to the home country in case of death of the insured person, as well as other travel-related risks:
● flight delays and cancellations
● loss of luggage
● expenses for telephone communication;
● damage to personal transport in case of an accident;
● expenses for preparing documents for returning from abroad, etc.
Visit Ukraine's online insurance service offers a variety of policies, allowing you to choose the package that best suits your needs.
When is health insurance mandatory?
Health insurance is mandatory when applying for a visa, as well as when planning a long-term stay in a new country (obtaining a residence permit, working under a contract, etc.). In addition, some countries may require proof of health insurance to cross the border.
However, even if the policy is not a requirement for entry and stay, having insurance significantly increases your safety and comfort while traveling. In unforeseen situations, it can save you considerable money and nerves. Therefore, insurance is a guarantee of your peace of mind, regardless of whether it is mandatory.
Buying a policy on Visit Ukraine is not only a safe choice, but also an investment in your financial stability and reliable protection while traveling. Moreover, you can buy health insurance on the website in a matter of minutes, even when you are already abroad.
