Visitors to Croatia can expect changes from 01 January 2023 as the country enters the Schengen Area and the eurozone.
By entering Schengen, Croatia joins 26 other European countries that have officially abolished passports and all other types of border control at their mutual borders.
There is a transition period of three months at Croatian international airports to adjust their border controls upon entry.
The transition will be complete by March 26, 2023, and flights taking off from the Schengen area and arriving in Croatia will no longer be required passport/border control.
Additionally, from New Year’s Day, the official currency in Croatia will be the euro.
There will be a two-week period at the start of 2023 where both the euro and Croatian kuna will be accepted as forms of payment.
