Policy duration for Ukraine: the 3-to-180-day rules

The range and the rule

The policy is issued for 3 to 180 days. But the number that matters is not the term you pick — it is the rule the term must satisfy: cover every day of the stay, from the day of entry to the day of exit inclusive. That rule is what border officers check, and it is why the requirement exists at all.

Setting the dates — the practical cases

• A short hop below the minimum still takes a 3-day policy — the floor is the product's, not your itinerary's.
• An ordinary trip: policy start = entry day, policy end = exit day, set at purchase in two clicks.
• Plans that might stretch: err longer. A policy that ends mid-trip fails the requirement on the day it lapses; unused tail days just expire quietly.
• Stays beyond 180 days: cover them with consecutive policies, arranged so the next term starts when the current one ends — plan the sequence before the first policy runs out, not after.

If plans change: your withdrawal right

Under the published terms you may withdraw from the contract within 30 days of conclusion with a refund of the premium — the exception is contracts concluded for less than 30 days, where the right does not apply. The procedure is in the insurer's published terms ↗ ↗. Cancelled trip, changed dates — withdraw and re-issue rather than travel with dates that no longer match.

Dates interact with everything else

The term you set carries the rest of the policy with it: what is covered applies within those dates, the territorial boundary applies within those dates, and a claim is assessed against them. A right policy with wrong dates is a wrong policy.

The one-line takeaway

Pick the term last: itinerary first, entry and exit days fixed, then a term that swallows both ends — with margin if anything about the plan is soft.
