ENTRY INTO THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA FOR FOREIGN CITIZENS DURING CORONAVIRUS

On March 31, 2021, the Civil Protection Headquarters of the Republic of Croatia adopted a Decision on the temporary ban and restriction of crossings at the Republic of Croatia’s border crossings to protect the population of the Republic of Croatia from COVID-19 disease.  The decision is in force from April 1 to 30, 2021.

Passengers traveling to the Republic of Croatia from one of the EU/EEA Member States and citizens of EU Member States (including Croatian citizens), i.e., the Schengen Member States and the Schengen Associated States, and members of their families and third-country nationals who are persons with long-term residence under Council Directive 2003/109/EC who come from third countries, upon entering the Republic of Croatia regardless of their nationality, must present: 

• a negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR test or rapid antigen test – RAT not older than 48 hours (counting from the time of swab to arrival at the border crossing) and, if it is a rapid antigen test and the stay is longer than 10 days in the Republic of Croatia, they must retake the test by the tenth day from the date of issue of that test;
• vaccination confirmation for persons who received a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine more than 14 days ago. Exceptionally, in the case of a single-dose vaccine, confirmation of receipt of a single dose if the dose was administered more than 14 days before the date of crossing the state border;
• present a confirmation confirming that its holder has recovered from SARS-COV-2 virus infection after having previously had a positive PCR or rapid antigen test, which confirmation is valid no earlier than the eleventh day from the date of arrival of the positive test and no later than 180th day from the day of the first positive test;
• or perform SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing or rapid antigen testing – RAT immediately upon arrival in the Republic of Croatia (at own expense), with the mandatory self-isolation until the delivery of a negative finding. In case of the impossibility of testing, a measure of self-isolation is determined for a period of ten (10) days.

Exceptions have been made in accordance with the guidelines of the competent authorities as follows:

Passengers traveling to the Republic of Croatia from one of the EU/EEA Member States (regardless of nationality)

The following categories of passengers traveling from EU/EEA Member States/regions do not have to have a SARS-CoV-2 PCR test, although they come from countries that do not belong to the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s green list:

• pupils, students, and interns who travel abroad daily;
• seafarers and workers in the transport sector or transport service providers, including lorry drivers transporting goods for use in the territory of the State and those only in transit;

Passengers coming directly from the countries and/or regions of the European Union, or countries and/or regions of the Schengen Area and the countries associated with the Schengen area, who are currently in the so-called green list of the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention, regardless of nationality, will be allowed to enter into the Republic of Croatia under the same conditions as before the onset of COVID-19 if they show no signs of disease and have not been in close contact with an infected person. If the aforementioned persons transited through other countries/regions to the border crossings of the Republic of Croatia without delaying, they should prove at the border crossing that they did not stay in the transit areas, and in that case, will not be required to provide evidence of testing or confirmations of vaccination against or recovery from the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, nor are they assigned a measure of self-isolation.  Graphic representation of countries by color according to the risk of COVID-19 disease can be found on the website of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

The duration of self-isolation may be shorter if the person, at the earliest on the seventh day of self-isolation, performs a SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing at own expense at the institution authorized to perform the testing and if the test result is negative.

Elimination of the self-isolation measure (entered at the border crossing), upon obtaining a negative PCR or rapid antigen test result 

In such cases, passengers will be handed a leaflet at the border crossing with instructions on the procedure upon delivery of a negative molecular PCR test or rapid antigen test – RAT (serological tests are NOT accepted).

The leaflet will contain the e-mail address of the border crossing at which the passenger was assigned a measure of self-isolation, to which they will send a negative result of one of the above tests, obtained from the health institution where the test was performed, in order to eliminate (delete) entered measures. These persons are required to get tested in the place of residence, i.e., domicile, where they are provided with conditions for self-isolation and there to wait for a negative PCR test or rapid antigen test – RAT. Persons who have recovered from COVID-19 in the past six (6) months are exempt from the obligation to test and self-isolate. To prove that they have recovered from COVID-19, passengers must have a positive PCR or rapid antigen test – RAT that is older than 11 days but not older than 180 days from the time of sampling or confirmation that they have recovered from COVID-19 issued by a medical doctor.

Children under the age of seven traveling with a parent/guardian are exempted from presenting a negative test result or self-isolation if the parents/guardians are negative in PCR or rapid antigen – RAT test, or have a confirmation of vaccination or recovery from COVID-19.

FOR ENTRING IN CROATIA IT IS NECESSARY TO FILL UP THE ON LINE FORM ENTER CROATIA  

In order to facilitate the crossing of the border of the Republic of Croatia and to make our guests aware of the epidemiological measures in force in Croatia, the website entercroatia.mup.hr was created. On this page there is an online form in which passengers enter all the information required in the process of crossing the border and with a simple presentation of a passport or identity document to a police officer at the border, the number or code from the ID card or passport is automatically linked to all pre-entered data online. In this way, it will not be necessary to keep passengers at the border crossing in order to provide the necessary information, because the border police will already have this information in the system. At the same time, all those who fill in their data online, will be sent to their email address instructions that will contain epidemiological information and measures in force in the Republic of Croatia for their safe stay in Croatia.
