In this article, you will find everything about the latest measurements taken by the Croatian government in order to alleviate your arrival to Croatia after the coronavirus outbreak and shorten your waiting time while border crossing.
Rules at the border when entering Croatia
For easier and faster border crossing, we recommend submitting your data in advance via the website Entercroatia.mup.hr. In this way you can avoid additional delays at the border crossing as the border police will have your data in the system. At the road border crossings Bregana, Macelj, Rupa and Plovanija there are special lanes for guests who have filled in and submitted the Enter Croatia form before arrival.
Passengers who have registered on entercroatia.mup.hr website will receive on their email address a confirmation of receipt and all the necessary information related to the instructions and recommendations of the Croatian Institute of Public Health.
Passengers who do not submit their data in advance via this application will be able to do so at the border crossing when entering the Republic of Croatia.
On the 'Re-open EU' European Commission website you can check, in real time, information on travel within the European Union, the situation at the borders, and all available transport and tourism services in EU member states.
Recommendations and instructions
- Wearing disposable masks in public settings where safety distance cannot be maintained, such as public transport, grocery stores, or even in the workplace, can help reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
- Grouping and public gatherings should be consistently avoided. During business meetings, it is necessary to meet with as few persons as possible, to ensure a physical distance of 1.5 meters and
availability of disinfectants, as well as avoid unnecessary meetings. - In case of any symptoms of acute respiratory infection (cough, sore throat, high temperature, shortness of breath/difficulty in breathing, loss of smell and taste), it is necessary to stay at home/your accommodation and contact your general practitioner (Croatian nationals), or a competent local epidemiologist.
- Hands should be washed as often as possible with warm water and soap and/or a hand disinfectant should be used that needs to be well rubbed on the palms. Touching one’s face, mouth, nose and eyes should be avoided.
