Notice. Guest registration via eVisitor (within 24h of arrival) is a SEPARATE, older obligation from the new eTourism property registration — hosts must comply with both.
Notice. A further Hospitality Industry Act is planned from 1 January 2027, on top of the 2026 eTourism rollout — expect another layer of change.
How to register in Croatia
- Register the property in the eTourism system to obtain the unique registration number (mandatory from June 2026).
- Separately, register every guest in eVisitor within 24 hours of arrival — this duty already exists and is enforced independently.
- Check for local moratoria or quotas on new tourist licences, particularly in Dubrovnik, Split and Zadar.
- Display the eTourism number on every listing.
