Colombian nationals — including journalists, diplomats, and business travelers — visit Ukraine via Madrid or Paris connections. Colombia has expressed support for Ukraine's sovereignty. Colombian EPS (health insurance) covers only treatment within Colombia; a separate policy is required at every Ukrainian border crossing.
Approximately ~600 travelers from Colombia visit Ukraine annually.
Colombian EPS (Entidades Promotoras de Salud) does not cover treatment outside Colombia. Colombian nationals must carry a separate Ukrainian-compliant policy for the border crossing.
