The Croatian Passenger Locator Form is a health declaration for all visitors to Croatia, also known as Enter Croatia. The PLF provides the Croatian Government with the essential health-related and contact information of the incoming visitors.

The Croatian Public Health Passenger Locator Form is not a mandatory document to enter Croatia; however, the country's government does advise all travelers to fill it out before the planned trip takes place.

The Enter Croatia online form significantly shortens the whole border control process and allows the Croatian Government to contact any travelers who may have gotten infected while reaching Croatia.

That is why it's best to fill out the form ahead of the planned trip and speed up the process of crossing the border during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Anyone who plans on visiting Croatia can fill the Croatian Passenger Locator Form within minutes from home. The health declaration is available online, and the confirmation of its completion is delivered to each traveler via email.

The Croatian authorities suggest that any foreign travelers visiting the country fill the Enter Croatia form. One health declaration per family should be filled to help with simplifying the border control processes.
