Maltese nationals traveling to Ukraine are primarily EU diplomats and officials — Malta, as a small EU member state, participates in EU-level Ukraine support missions through Brussels. Maltese MHEC (public health system) covers only treatment within Malta and is void outside the country. There is no resident Maltese embassy in Ukraine.
Approximately ~500 travelers from Malta visit Ukraine annually.
Maltese public health (MHEC) does not apply outside Malta. Maltese EU diplomatic missions to Kyiv are increasing — insurance is required at every crossing.
