for travel
International travel to Croatia is permitted. It is necessary to comply with requirements to ensure entry is allowed.

Open with conditions

If another country has been visited in the previous 14 days that is considered high-risk, travelers will not be allowed to enter. This does not apply to citizens and their family members or long-term residents who will be required to undergo PCR testing on arrival and quarantine for 10 days on arrival.
