Reduced tourist tax for vessels

Boaters can pay the tourist tax per overnight stay or in a lump sum, and the amount of the tourist tax that boaters pay per person and per overnight stay is HRK 10.00.

The good news is that the Croatian National Tourist Board has launched a multilingual portal NAUTIKA.EVISITOR.HR which allows boaters to pay the tourist tax online. The portal represents an alternative way of paying the tourist tax in nautism, which has been paid only in harbour master’s offices and branch offices until now.

A vessel is any vessel longer than 7 meters with installed bearings used for vacation, recreation or cruising.

Tourist tax for boaters has been reduced 20%.

Boaters who paid lump sum tourist tax in 2019 for the time period ending in 2020 do not have to pay the tourist tax under this Ordinance for the time period in 2020.
If the time period for which boaters paid the tourist tax lump sum includes the time of the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic at the territory of the Republic of Croatia, a boater can request for the return of a proportionate amount of the paid tourist tax for the time period during which the COVID-19 pandemic was recognized at the territory of the Republic of Croatia or can request a proportionate extension of the time period for which the tourist tax has been paid.

The request for a refund or extension of the time period is submitted to the Croatian National Tourist Board, and the form can be found HERE.

eNautics portal
If you have an OIB (personal identification number) (Croatian citizens, as well as EU citizens who have registered their stay in the Republic of Croatia or requested a personal identification number from our Tax Administration) or eID (electronic identity card) you can access the eNautics portal which is intended for boaters and provides a foreign boat or yacht arrival registration at the territorial sea of the Republic of Croatia. You can also request for an electronic confirmation of navigation safety fees payment at the portal upon registration of a yacht or boat.
The service can be currently used by all citizens of the Republic of Croatia and citizens of the EU countries that have introduced an electronic ID system or some other method of user e-identification.

Boat arrival registration, navigation safety fees payment and tourist tax payments are still possible in harbour master’s offices and branch offices.

We would like to remind you that the current working hours of the Harbour Master’s Branch Office in Punat are from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 13:00, and on Saturdays from 8:00 to 12:00.

The Harbour Master’s Branch Office is closed on Sundays and holidays. Please note that opening hours are subject to change.

Register your entry online

The site has an online form where you enter all the information requested in the border-crossing process.

By simply presenting your passport or identity document to the police officer at the border, the number or the code on the identity document or passport are automatically connected to all the data previously entered online.
That way, the entire procedure of entering information for each individual person is reduced to a temporal minimum.
By registering online, you will not have to fill out the form at the border crossing, which will facilitate your trip.
Select the language of your choice and enter the required information for crossing the Croatian border.
After applying, you will receive instructions with epidemiological information and measures in force in the Republic of Croatia for your safe stay.

This is also good to know:
After entering your contact information (telephone number and email address), you will receive an announcement certificate you need to display on the windshield of your vehicle in order to facilitate the border crossing. Furthermore, you will receive all the necessary information regarding your safe stay in the RC.
The announcement certificate does not constitute an entry permit and is not equivalent to a document required for crossing the border (passport/identity document).

In addition to presenting passports/identity documents (for EU citizens), when crossing the border of the RC it is necessary to have documentation on your person during your stay which confirms:

the reservation of tourist accommodation, or a travel agency voucher;
or a confirmation of booking/ownership of a mooring;
or ownership of real estate, or movable property;
or an invitation from a legal entity, or an invitation to a business meeting.

The form/announcement is valid if you present the passport or identity document (for EU citizens) you specified in the form when crossing the border.
If family members are going to different places, each passenger must fill in a separate form and/or the person guarantees that all people on the form are going to the same place.
No previous COVID-19 testing is required in order to enter the Republic of Croatia.
By entering the Republic of Croatia, you are not required to stay in self-isolation.

Welcome!
