What is the latest travel advice for Croatia?

Croatia is a quarantine free destination for British holiday makers.

From 4 July, Croatia is exempt from the FCO advice against all non-essential international travel. This is based on the current assessment of Covid-19 risks.

However the latest advice is that there is a moderate risk of coronavirus exposure, so travellers are advised to only undertake essential travel.

Most cases are reported near the Serbian border and in Zagreb.

Will I have to quarantine in Croatia or when returning to the UK?

No. You will not have to quarantine at either end of your holiday.

Croatia has been letting tourists from European countries in since mid-May and the tourism industry seems to be doing well, with cafe’s and restaurants open for business.

Arrivals from Britain are asked to fill out a form with details including whether you have ever had coronavirus or if you have been in contact with someone who has recovered from Covid-19 in the previous 14 days.

Travellers also have to provide proof of an accommodation booking or that they own a residence when crossing the border. 

Masks are now compulsory in public.
