Where can you travel with a Ukrainian COVID certificate?.

Ukrainian tourists planning trips to EU countries or other countries should check quarantine rules.

Each country has restrictions. It is also necessary to check where Ukrainian digital COVID vaccination certificates are recognized.

Ukraine has joined the European system of digital COVID vaccination certificates. This means that COVID certificates from “Diia” are recognized in EU countries.

In addition, 32 countries outside the EU participate in the system and recognize Ukrainian digital COVID certificates.

The “Diia” system generates a certificate with a QR code in Ukrainian and English in electronic form for a smartphone or as a pdf file for downloading, which must be printed out before the trip.

For the trip, you can take a COVID certificate in any form. In the country of destination, it will be checked using a QR code.

The vaccination certificate for travel begins to be valid 14 days after the completion of the vaccination course. For example, if the last vaccination was on February 1, the citizen can use the certificate for travel starting February 15.

The EU has shortened the validity period of COVID certificates after full vaccination from one year to 270 days.

The validity of the COVID certificate can be extended for another 270 days. To do this, a booster shot must be taken. Ukraine has allowed such vaccinations and issues COVID certificates with an updated validity period.

If the country does not recognize the Ukrainian COVID vaccination certificate, the tourist can obtain an international standard paper vaccination certificate from their family doctor. It contains information in Ukrainian and English.

However, not all countries recognize vaccination certificates if the person was vaccinated abroad. In such a case, it may be necessary to take a PCR test before departure and after arrival.

In the EU, unification only concerns the recognition of digital COVID vaccination certificates and their verification.
