Albania, a NATO member since 2009, has expressed solidarity with Ukraine. Albanian nationals travel to Ukraine primarily for business and via the Balkans–Hungary land route. FSDKSH (health insurance fund) covers only Albania — a separate Ukrainian-compliant policy is required at every border crossing.
Approximately ~700 travelers from Albania visit Ukraine annually.
Albanian health insurance (FSDKSH) does not cover treatment outside Albania. Albanian citizens visiting Ukraine must carry a separate Ukrainian-compliant policy.
