India has a significant connection to Ukraine through thousands of Indian students enrolled in Ukrainian medical, engineering, and dental universities. Indian nationals require a Ukrainian visa, and health insurance is mandatory for both the visa application and border entry. The Indian national health scheme Ayushman Bharat does not cover treatment abroad.
Approximately ~5,000 travelers from India visit Ukraine annually.
Indian nationals require a Ukrainian visa — a valid health insurance policy is required for the visa application. Many Indian students study at Ukrainian universities; insurance must cover the full academic year.
