Registration of arrival and residence tax payment

According to the Act on the Movement and Residence of Foreign Nationals, after entering Croatia, foreign nationals must register their residence within 48 hours. The physical or legal person offering accommodation to foreign visitors must report them within 24 hours. The Hotel and Restaurant Activity Act forbids setting up tents, trailers, motor homes and other camping equipment outside the camps!

Currency

The official currency used in the Republic of Croatia is the Croatian kuna (HRK). 1 kuna equals 100 lipa (cents). The currency may be converted in official exchange offices, banks, post offices, hotels and tourist agencies according to the current exchange rates. 

Credit cards (DINERS, VISA, AMERICAN EXPRESS, EUROCARD/MASTERCARD) can be used where indicated. Eurochecks can be cashed in the banks. You can withdraw cash from ATMs in all larger cities and important tourist centers.

Medical care

The Tourist Medical Center operates within the Rovinj Emergency Clinic and is open 24 hours a day.

If a Medical Care Convention has been signed between Croatia and the country from which the tourist comes, he or she is under no obligation to pay for medical expenses. The cost of medical services in the case of tourists coming from countries with which such a convention has not been signed is payable by the tourist on the spot, according to a pre-established price list. There are hospitals and clinics in all larger towns, and medical centers and pharmacies in all smaller ones. For patients in life danger, an emergency chopper transportation is provided.
