How to get to and from Croatia: Test centers in Croatia where you can do PCR and rapid antigen test

Entry into Croatia from Slovenia

Croatia has adopted a decree that is valid until the end of April and which determines who is allowed to enter their country and under what conditions. Passengers from Slovenia can enter:

• Z negative rapid antigen test, which must not be older than 48 hours and can be completed in an EU member state. The certificate can be written and issued to you by the test provider. If you are going to stay in Croatia for more than 10 days, you must take the quick test again by the tenth day after the first test was issued.
• Z negative PCR test, which must not be older than 48 hours.
• S vaccination certificate against covid-19, but 14 days may elapse from the last dose of the vaccine, or in the case of a vaccine that is given with only one dose, also 14 days after the vaccination. If you receive only the first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine, Slovenia allows you to cross the border after 21 days, but you will still need a negative rapid or PCR test to enter Croatia.
• Certificate of having recovered from covid-19. You can prove your illness with a positive PCR or rapid test certificate or a doctor's certificate (antibody certificate is no longer enough to cross the border). The certificate may be older than 11 days.

Entry is also possible without any of the certificates mentioned above, but in this case you will be ordered 10 day quarantine, which can be shortened by a negative rapid or PCR test. The locations where you can take the test in Croatia are at the link below.

Entry into Slovenia from Croatia

Croatia is currently still on the list of red countries, so special measures apply to entering Slovenia from Croatia. Return to Slovenia without quarantine is possible:

• Z negative PCR test, which must not be older than 48 hours and can be made in the EU
• S a certificate of a positive PCR test result, which is older than 21 days and not older than 6 months, or with a doctor's certificate that you have recovered from covid-19 and no more than 6 months have passed since the onset of symptoms.
• S vaccination certificate against covid-19, if at least 7 days have passed since the second dose of the Biontech/Pfizer vaccine or at least 14 days have passed since the Moderna vaccine, or at least 21 days have passed since the first dose of the AstraZeneca, Sputnik or Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

If a person does not have an appropriate certificate when entering Slovenia or does not fall under the following exceptions, he/she will be referred to 10-day quarantine, which cannot be prematurely eliminated by testing.

In the case of this exception, the rapid test is valid for 72 hours after taking the swab.
