Croatia has officially lifted its air borders with Schengen Zone countries as of March 26.
Although Croatia officially joined the Schengen Zone on January 1, it kept its air borders in place until last Sunday (March 26) to align with Iata’s summer and winter flight schedules.
“The regime of entry into Croatia at airports will now be the same as it has been in force since January 1 on roads, railway crossings, and seaports,” said Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, announcing the news recently.
According to Euro News, the latest change means that internal border controls for those travelling to or from the Schengen Zone have been dropped and that flights within the zone will be treated as domestic.
“Practically all flights to Croatia from Schengen countries and vice versa are now the same as domestic flights, without any document control,” said Plenković.
According to https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/ this will take effect at seven international airports across Croatia – Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, Rijeka, Pula, Zadar, and Osijek.
