Entry requirements
Entering Ukraine as a Indian Citizen
Last updated: 2026-10-14
Visa rules for Indian citizens
Indian citizens need a visa to enter Ukraine. Students apply for a study visa (type D) through the university's invitation; short visits use the e-Visa where the current rules allow. Check the Embassy of Ukraine in New Delhi for the active procedure before booking.
Insurance requirement
Border officers may ask indian travellers for proof of medical insurance on entry. A certificate from EUROINS is issued as a PDF within minutes and is recognised at every open crossing. Given current conditions, the Extended plan with its 1,575,000 UAH limit is the sensible default.
Typical entry route
With Ukrainian airspace closed, the standard route is a flight to Warsaw, Kraków or Rzeszów, then a train or bus across the Polish border — Ukrainian trains run from Przemyśl and Chełm, and there is a direct Warsaw–Kyiv train. Allow a full day for the land leg. Details: train from Poland to Ukraine.
Consular contacts
Embassy of Ukraine in New Delhi: E-1/8 Vasant Vihar. Student paperwork is typically coordinated by the university's international office alongside the embassy.
