You're reading: Ukrainians could visit Croatia with COVID-19 test or after 2-week self-isolation

Croatia has changed the entry alert for the citizens of a number of states including Ukraine.

As Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Croatia Vasyl Kyrylych wrote on Twitter, such a decision was taken in late hours of July 10.

“Late on July 10, Croatia took a decision on the obligation for third-country nationals, including Ukraine, who enter the Republic of Croatia to undergo 14-day self-isolation. If there is a test for COVID-19 done no later than 48 hours, self-isolation is not needed,” wrote the ambassador.

In turn, the Embassy of Croatia in Ukraine noted on Facebook that third-country nationals entering Croatia for personal urgent reasons (for example, have private property in Croatia) must undergo a mandatory 14-day self-isolation, but it can be reduced to seven days if a person at his own expense will pass a sample of material from a nose and a throat seven days after arriving in the country and will receive a negative PCR-test for SARS-CoV-2.

At the same time, persons entering Croatia for tourist purposes or for training can enter the country without a 14-day self-isolation, but upon presentation of a negative PCR-test for SARS-CoV 2. It is noted that the test should be done not later than 48 hours (counting from the time of taking a sample to arrival at the border crossing).

As previously reported, Ukrainians could visit Croatia if a hotel reservation or a guest dwelling are confirmed.
