Entry requirements
Entering Ukraine as a Polish Citizen
Last updated: 2026-10-14
Visa rules for Polish citizens
Polish citizens enter Ukraine visa-free with a biometric passport for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. No pre-registration is required; entry is stamped at the border.
Insurance requirement
Border officers may ask polish 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
Poland is the busiest direction into Ukraine. Road: nine crossings, all open around the clock — Korczowa–Krakivets or Medyka–Shehyni toward Lviv, Dorohusk–Yahodyn toward Kovel and Kyiv. Rail: Ukrainian trains from Przemyśl and Chełm, plus a direct Warsaw–Kyiv train. Pedestrian lane: Medyka–Shehyni. Step by step: by car, by bus, by train.
Consular contacts
Embassy of Ukraine in Warsaw: al. J. Ch. Szucha 7. Consulates general in Kraków, Gdańsk, Lublin and Wrocław.
Frequently asked questions
Can Polish citizens drive their own car into Ukraine?
