COVID-19 PCR Test or Self-Isolation Required for Third-Country Nationals
This applies to third-country national passengers entering Croatia for permitted tourism or other business reasons or who have other economic interests, as well as people traveling for educational purposes.
These passengers may enter Croatia without the obligation of self-isolation upon presentation of a negative nasal and pharynx swab test for COVID-19, not older than 48 hours (starting from the time of taking the swab until arrival at the border crossing), or with the obligation of 14 days quarantine/self-isolation if they do not have a negative PCR test.
If third-country nationals have a test older than 48 hours upon entering Croatia, they will be allowed to enter Croatia.

People who do not present a negative PCR test result are subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine/self-isolation measure.
People who have a negative PCR test, and are on the self-isolation list, whether they’ve been on the list for seven days or have re-tested because they had a test older than 48 hours when entering Croatia, are to be removed from the self-isolation list.
