Entry Restrictions
Citizens of EU+ countries, as well as their family members, are allowed to enter Croatia without restrictions.
EU+ comprises EU Member States plus Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, Vatican City State and the Republic of San Marino.
EU+ nationals as well as their family members (regardless of their residence), third-country nationals who are long-term residents under Council Directive 2003/109/EC, and persons entitled to reside under other EU directives or national law, or who hold national long-term visas, can enter the country under the same conditions as before the COVID-19 outbreak.
Third country nationals are still subject to restrictions: they can enter Croatia for business or tourism reasons only.

Transit
In general, all passengers may travel through Croatia provided that they enter or transit through a neighbouring country. During transit, the shortest traffic routes should be used without undue delay. It is necessary to leave Croatia as soon as possible and no longer than 12 hours from the time of entry. After approving entry, the border police will check whether transit travellers have left Croatian territory within 12 hours. As a rule, the transit through Croatia can only serve to enable entry into a neighbouring country.
Third-country nationals coming from outside the EU and Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein
If foreigners who do not hold the citizenship of an EU/EEA Member State nor have regulated stay in those countries, want to enter Croatia for tourism, it is necessary to present a confirmation of paid accommodation (lease contract or lump sum payment of hotel/camp, permanent berth contract in a nautical tourism port, etc.). These persons are not subject to a 14 day quarantine / self-isolation measure if they present a negative PCR result of a nasal and throat swab for SARS-Cov-2 at the border crossing point, which is not older than 48 hours (counting from the time of taking the swab to arriving at the border crossing point). If third-country nationals have a test older than 48 hours when entering Croatia, they will be allowed to enter Croatia, however, they will be obligated to self-isolate and re-test themselves in Croatia at their own expense. Persons who do not present a negative PCR result are subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine / self-isolation measure.
In addition, all travellers are advised to fill out the form on the ENTERCROATIA website. Individual requests for border-crossing and requirements can be communicated in advance via e-mail to uzg.covid@mup.hr and will be addressed in the shortest possible timeframe.
