ZAGREB, July 3, 2020 – Croatia’s interior ministry on Friday advised visitors entering Croatia that they have introduced special Enter Croatia lanes at state borders.
“In order to shorten the time of crossing the state border and enable a better flow of traffic, at the border crossings such as Bregana, Macelj, Rupa and Plovanija, special lanes have been marked that can be used by passengers who have announced their arrival via the Enter Croatia system,”
All visitors coming into Croatia are encouraged to fill in the form on the Enter Croatia website to announce their arrival in order to cross the border faster and also in order for authorities to potentially monitor contacts in case of infection.
From July 1, all EU / EEA citizens and permanent residents in the EU / EEA, as well as the United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican, are free to enter Croatia without any restrictions.
There is also no requirement for visitors to self-isolate upon entering.
All other foreign nationals outside the EU / EEA can enter Croatia for business or tourist reasons (with paid accommodation reservation).
Važna obavijest‼️
