Considering traveling to Croatia for your summer vacation? We provide a rundown of the latest entry requirements for tourists wishing to visit over the next three weeks (15 August to 31 August 2021), as provided by the Croatian National Tourist Board*.

UK, Russia and Cyprus

Perhaps the most signifacnt development in entry criteria as of the 26 July applies to UK, Russian and Cypriot citizens who must provide evidence of a negative SARS-CoV-2 test performed in their home country (no more than 72 hours before arrival at the border), regardless of whether they have been vaccinated and/or have recovered from Covid-19.
