Does EU roam like at home cover Ukraine and Moldova?
Roaming between Finland, Ukraine and Moldova.
Short answer
Yes. From 1 January 2026, Ukraine and Moldova joined the EU roam like at home area. A Finnish subscription can be used in Ukraine and Moldova at domestic prices, and Ukrainian and Moldovan subscriptions can be used in Finland the same way. The usual EU roaming rules apply, including the same quality and speed as at home and free calls to emergency services.
Why
- Your Europe lists Moldova and Ukraine among the countries where roam like at home applies.
- The EU Council adopted the decision for Ukraine on 14 July 2025 and for Moldova on 25 July 2025.
- Irish regulator ComReg notes that calls to emergency services are free under these rules.
Details
Fair use limits for data still apply, as elsewhere in the EU. Check how much roaming data your plan includes before a long stay.
Tip
If you travel from Finland to Ukraine overland or by air via Poland, your plan works at home prices the whole way.
What may differ
Network availability in parts of Ukraine can be affected by the war. The price rule does not guarantee coverage.
Common misconception
Roaming outside the EU member states is always charged extra.
What actually happens
Roam like at home also covers Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Moldova and Ukraine.
