Croatia Update August 26
As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our clients and travelers informed of the latest COVID-19 travel situation in Croatia, we continue to provide regular updates.
With a number of our representatives currently on the ground in Croatia, we are able to give you a first-hand glimpse into what life is really like for tourists who are currently in the area.
The current situation in Croatia
Over the last couple of weeks there has been a small uptick in the number COVID-19 cases seen across Europe. Croatia continues to remain one of the lesser affected countries in the region and has been among the most successful in dealing with and managing the virus. At the time of writing, there have been just 8,888 recorded cases and 175 deaths, which places Croatia as the 96th most affected country in the world in terms of cases.
Croatia has a number of strict COVID-19 measures in place to keep both citizens and visitors safe. Social-distancing is enforced, face coverings are worn on public transportation and in indoor areas, and people are encouraged to frequently wash their hands. Social gatherings are limited in size and those who work in the hospitality industry and who serve or prepare food and beverages are required to wear face coverings.
The current situation for US citizens remains the same with no quarantine period required upon arrival back to the USA.
For any US citizens looking to travel to Croatia the protocol remains as of July 10th 2020:
“U.S. citizens arriving in Croatia for tourism, business, urgent personal reasons, or educational purposes must present a negative PCR test not older than 48 hours (starting from the time of taking the swab until arrival at the border crossing). This is also valid for passengers and crews traveling by yacht.”
“Travelers whose test is older than 48 hours will be allowed to enter Croatia, but they will be issued a self-isolation order and will have to be tested again locally, at their own expense. Having an expired PCR test upon arrival will allow for a shortened period of time in self-isolation pending a negative result of a local PCR test. Those who do not provide a negative PCR test upon arrival will be ordered to quarantine/self-isolate for at least 7 days prior to taking a local PCR test.”
Prior to arrival in Croatia all visitors must also fill in a travel form providing proof of paid accomodation that is available online.
