Important Tips for Entering Ukraine for Surrogacy from the “Red Zone”

No more private jets or flying strange routes! Now you can get into Ukraine easily to start your surrogacy or IVF journey in Ukraine without a 14 day quarantine. This decreases the cost of surrogacy and shortens your stay!

The "Red Zone" consists of countries with more than 40 active coronavirus cases per 100,000 people.

• 14 days self-isolation at a private residence (for persons who have agreed to undergo it using the "Dii Vdoma"mobile app);
• Taking a PCR COVID-19 test after crossing the state border (Mandatory self-isolation or quarantine can be cancelled if a traveller undergoes a PCR test and receives a negative result once in Ukraine. Further information about taking the tests and cancelling self-isolation in case of a negative result can be found via the ‘more detailed’ link of the ‘for citizens of “red zone” countries’ box on the Ukrainian authorities’ Visit Ukraine webpage.
