Croatia travel requirements 2024: What travelers need to know

We aim to keep this post updated about Croatia travel in 2024 with official Croatia travel restrictions, requirements, and health and safety guidance. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions so you can travel confidently, safely, and responsibly in this new post-pandemic world of ours.

We lived and worked from Croatia in winter of 2019 and loved it.

As restrictions vary based on the traveler’s citizenship, we will focus primarily on rules affecting U.S. citizens.

At the end of the post, we share on-the-ground perspectives from local residents and travelers to Croatia so you can get a sense of what it’s really like.

See details about ETIAS here

Quarantine rules in Croatia: What happens if I get Covid?

Foreign travelers are not required to quarantine upon arrival to Croatia.

Travelers who  test positive for Covid while in Croatia can get in touch with a local epidemiologist . Call 113 (from a Croatian number) for general advice about COVID-19. 

As of May 2023, there are no longer quarantine requirements for those who test positive. However, they are advised to avoid large gatherings. Self-isolation for five days, followed by ten days wearing a mask, is recommended for those who come into contact with the elderly, chronically ill, immunocompromised people, and pregnant women. 

People who were in close contact to those who tested positive are not required to quarantine. They are, however, asked to wear mask for 10 days, to self-test on the fifth day, and to avoid large gatherings especially among people who are at increased risk.

Croatia Vaccine Passport Requirements to Enter Large Gatherings

You might be wondering: Do I need a vaccine certificate or Covid test to enter restaurants, accommodations, or attractions in Croatia?

How has the Coronavirus impacted Croatia?

The Croatian Government declared the epidemiological situation under control in early June 2020 with almost no new cases being reported for several weeks. However, the country saw a spike in cases in Fall 2020. This prompted the government to implement additional measures to slow the spread of the virus and support its health system.

Croatia, which is highly dependent on tourism, reopened its borders in July 2020. Despite this, the economy still struggled with a substantial increase in unemployment.

Croatia’s vaccination program began slightly before the New Year 2021. Over half of the population have been fully vaccinated.

For the current situation in Croatia, including: total COVID-19 positive cases; total cases in Croatia; and COVID-19 testing in Croatia, please see the Croatia Department of Health site .

What do Croatia locals and recent travelers say about visiting Croatia now?

What is it like to visit Croatia right now? It’s our goal to provide regular updates here from real people on the ground, to help potential visitors know what to expect.

The following are subjective opinions only. Official travel guidance can be found above.

September 2023 – Steven Jepson of The Thorough Tripper , American traveler “We are currently in Dubrovnik Croatia for one week as part of a 6 week/6 country European trip. Dubrovnik supposedly has the most overtourism in all of Europe, and we are seeing it first hand. I thought if we came at the end of September, it wouldn’t be too bad. It’s bad. So many people…

I have yet to see the word COVID written anywhere here. There doesn’t seem to be any restrictions whatsoever.”

croatia to us travel restrictions

June 2023 – Coni from Experiencing the Globe , Croatian resident: “Short and sweet: Croatia is completely open, without any restrictions of any kind. Everything is back to pre-pandemic normal. 

All attractions and tourist infrastructure (hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, etc.) are fully working. Testing facilities are plentiful, and private clinics are readily available in case of need.

Do keep in mind that Croatia is a very popular summer destination, and with no restrictions in place, you’ll find crowds everywhere in the coast and known national parks.”

January 2023 – Gabi of Under Flowery Sky , Croatian resident:  “Croatia currently adopts the Euro [as currency in place of kuna] and this stimulates prices going up comparing to the past. The hostels are still full even in January and prices affordable.

Most of local attractions are open. Healthcare is easily accessible, specially in the cities. Masks are not requiered anymore.”

September 17, 2022 – Arianna of Extra Mile Project :  “I spent 9 days in Croatia in September 2022 and traveled to Zagreb, Hvar, Split, and Dubrovnik by train. Life seemed to be back to normal. As an EU citizen, I easily flew into Zagreb without any travel restrictions (no testing or contact tracing required).

Masks were recommended in the airport and on public transportation but very few people were wearing one. Some museums still used a time slot-based booking system to avoid overcrowding, so I’d recommend buying tickets in advance. However, September didn’t seem to be a busy month and I was always able to find available tickets on the spot. Most of the attractions had signs at the entrance asking visitors to sanitize their hands and measure their temperature, but nobody was really checking.”

August 2022 – N.h., expat: “My cousin arrived on Sunday with EasyJet from Gatwick. She said check -in and security took 50 minutes. Her flight was delayed by 1 1/2 hours. Everything in Split was quick and easy. The new terminal is great and everything runs pretty smoothly.”

May 28 2022 – Gloria from mumsinvited.com: “In May, I flew into Croatia for a 4 day work conference. It was a fantastic experience. I didn’t experience any travel restrictions coming from the UK. To my knowledge, there wasn’t any contact tracing or testing. I didn’t even have to take a Covid test before travelling or after my arrival. There weren’t any long queues or extra crowded spaces.”

April 16, 2022 – Third country national: “ A friend (US Passport) arrived in Split 1 week ago today on a direct flight from Dublin (where she is currently living). She was asked for vax/test/recovery. She doesn’t qualify for EU COVID Cert, so provided CDC card with all 3 jabs. That’s what was asked of her, but current rules do seem to indicate she shouldn’t have needed to provide anything.”

February 16, 2022 – Kathleen O., American nomad: “Split, Croatia is returning to normal life. Local restaurants are open at full capacity (although many are closed simply because it’s outside of the tourist season), buses and ferries are running, and it looks likely to be a record summer season coming. Spring is my favorite  time to visit Croatia  and with cases dropping every day, it’s a good time to plan a trip.”

January 20, 2022 – Marty, Expat in Croatia: “My wife and I are halfway through a 3 month stay in an Airbnb next to the Riva in Split, Croatia. We have felt very safe as far as any Covid concerns. Split is close enough to take side trips, in fact we just returned from a week in Kotor, Montenegro and Mostar, Bosnia [crossed Croatia land border]. We also traveled to Dubrovnik, which we recommend seeing. Here in Split, Croatia it is easy to get a Covid test if needed. They also allow non-Croatians to get a vaccine, in fact we were able to get our Pfizer booster shot. Since we are here in the off season some restaurants and shops are closed, but there is still lots to choose from. When we were here in October everything was open. They usually don’t ask to see your vaccine card to go inside to shop or eat.”

December 20, 2021 – Kathleen of My Lonesome Roads , American digital nomad:  “I am living [in Croatia] for the winter while working online. Most events are still happening, like the Christmas markets, and shops/restaurants/bars are open at full capacity here in Split. There are almost no tourists here which is typical for the winter, so prices are reasonable and you can get a taste of local life. 

There are very few restrictions in place, but testing is widely available and inexpensive. Vaccination rates are very low, but the healthcare quality is good. No test or vaccine is needed for most activities.”

October 2021 – Dana, American tourist: “As part of a Mediterranean cruise with Holland America in October, 2021, we visited Zadar and Dubrovnik for one day each. Crowds were minimal and COVID restrictions virtually non-existent. That said, I recommend having a mask at the ready should the need arise. No one asked for vaccination proof at any time.  Restaurants were plentiful and open. As noted, crowds were few and seating at bars and restaurants was easy to find.”

dubrovnik croatia tourist crowd in October 2021

October 2021 – Victoria C., Scottish traveler: “We went for a family holiday to Dubrovnik, Croatia for 10 days in October 2021. Everyone we met were very welcoming and we didn’t have any bad experiences All the local attractions were open, tours were taking place. Restaurants and bars were open. Some were closed due to it coming to the end of the season. We were never asked for any proof of vaccines or tests in town. We had our temperatures taken when we rode the cable car that was it. Masks were worn by most people indoors at supermarkets, shops etc. We didn’t find it overly busy and never really had to wait in any queues.”

September 2021 – Jenn, CocktailsAway.com :  “My husband and I spent a week in Croatia, Dubrovnik and Stari Grad (on the island of Hvar) celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. If you are vaccinated, you will find visiting Croatia fairly easy. All restaurants and bars are open. Tours, activities, and businesses are operating. There is a required form for tracing that needs to be filled out before arrival but outside of immigration and the hotels, no one checked our vaccine card. While everything is open, some businesses haven’t survived the pandemic so it’s wise to check ahead.”

September 9, 2021 – A., UK visitor: “I am currently in a quarantine hotel in Rovinj due to catching covid in Croatia, so I thought I’d share my experience with this so that anyone who wants to know the procedure is aware. I took my lateral flow in our hotel room ready to go back to the UK the next day but it came up positive. We rang [our travel agency] so that they could change our flights (package holiday included flight change for free), we rang the hotel reception on Istra who told us we could stay in the room we were in to isolate and that they would bring us up food for each meal. About an hour later when we’d ordered food and were settled, they rang us and said your boat will be here in half an hour. We were very confused as they just told us we could stay where we are we then had to eat and pack up our whole room in half an hour… We got on a private boat and there was a private car waiting for us that took us to Villas Rubin resort. The lady who greeted us here is lovely and very helpful if we need anything. The room is a decent size with two balconies and they drop us off three meals a day in a crate outside. We get a carton of juice each, bread rolls, fruit, salad and a big meal so can’t complain at all about the food. We have to pay at the end of our stay £60 per person per night, then our StaySure insurance will pay us back. I’ve seen lots of people say Dubrovnik has dealt with [this kind of situation] really badly, but we seem to have got a good hotel! We’ve been told we can’t leave or go home until we are negative. I’m testing daily so if we come back negative early we get to go home. ”

croatia to us travel restrictions

August 2021 – Malek , Egyptian Traveler: “I spent 3 weeks in Croatia with the wifey. People are super helpful. They welcome you help you and try to give you the best advice. when we had a wrong booking on a bus, the other travelers and some locals put the money for us to keep our journey till the next stop and the ATM. Everywhere you are asked for mask and covid passport.”

July 2021 – M.M, American visitor:   “I was in Dubrovnik Croatia for 3 weeks. The tourist population was about half of what we anticipated. Though the city is small and few tourists still make it feel crowded, I would definitely recommend going to Dubrovnik now, I can’t imagine how crowded it is without COVID.  All restrictions are being followed by locals and visitors. Testing was easy and quick for COVID and food service was exactly what you get in the US, clean and masked.”

June 2021 – Martina of PlacesofJuma , Austrian Digital Nomad: “ The current situation in Croatia is very relaxed. Restaurants and cafes are open, the beaches are quiet and Covid seems light miles away. Locals are happy about every visitor, the atmosphere is really good and the room prices are still really cheap! Keeping distance, hand washing and wearing a mask is followed. Life takes place mainly outdoors, which also reduces the risk of infection. Unfortunately, I don’t know whether the locals get tested and how often. However, many people, especially the elderly and those who work in tourism, have already been vaccinated. Larger hotels also have fantastic hygiene concepts, staff is wearing mask and some hotels offer free covid-tests to travelers.”

April 2021 – Kevin Macadam, British Digital Nomad:  “ We moved to Croatia for one year on the 1st March 2021. Arriving into Croatia was fine and we travelled with a dog and cat. Yes, Croatians are welcoming tourists however Covid cases are rising in Croatia so unless you have been vaccinated then I would advise against travelling here. People are wearing masks and testing is available, however, they have a low supply of vaccines at the moment. Tourist attractions are open and restaurants are open until 20:00, however this can differ from county to county.”

Thank you for this very helpful post!! My husband and I are hoping to visit Croatia in late March for our honeymoon. Are we allowed to enter Croatia if our connecting flight is coming from Madrid? USA to Croatia via Madrid. I’ve seen some conflicting information and don’t want to take a chance

Thanks for visiting our blog, Emily. At this time, the official Croatia website says arrivals are allowed from E.U. countries (which would include Spain) and “third country” tourists (Americans), as long as the appropriate documents are provided.

We are not tracking what additional requirements in Spain might be for passengers transiting through their airports, however, so you would have to check that separately. As I’m sure you’re aware, restrictions can always change between now and March, so I think you’ll likely be fine but unfortunately nothing is 100% guaranteed these days.

Hi, I am a UK resident currently visiting Turkey for 2 weeks, however, would like to visit Croatia on the way back to the UK and wanted to know if travellers from Turkey are not allowed to enter Croatia. I have received both covid jabs in the UK two months ago. Also, if travel is allowed, what are the requirements for my 11 and 13 year olds.

Thank you Kind regards

Thank you for visiting our blog. In our attempt to keep this free article accurately updated, we have limited our focus to specific travel scenarios. For other situations beyond what we cover here, I recommend checking official guidance on the Croatia ministry website or work with a travel agent who can ensure your trip needs are met.

I read that there is a mandatory 10-day quarantine for Eu-citizens. Can someone tell me if this quarantine must be held in a hotel or somewhere else?

Because the requirements vary based on citizenship and transit route into the country, we’ve been focusing on those that apply to U.S. travelers. We recommend checking Croatia’s official requirements here: https://mup.gov.hr/uzg-covid/english/286212 It’s a good question about the quarantine location. The information provided online is mostly about protocols to bypass the quarantine requirement, which most EU citizens should be able to do. That said, I did see the following mentioned: “Travelers may be ordered to self-isolate or spend up to 14 days in official government quarantine facilities if deemed necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Placement in quarantine is at the expense of the traveler.”

Thanks Michelle C

Hi, I am booked to visit Omis with my family in late June. I have 2 young children 8 and 2 years old. Do children have to have the negative PCR tests as well as the adults?. Thanks Tim

It’s a good question and not easy to find. But I finally found this on the official website: “Children under seven years of age traveling accompanied by a parent / guardian are exempt from the obligation to present a negative test result and to self-isolate if the parents / guardians have a negative PCR or RAT test result, i.e. if they have a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19 or proof of having recovered from COVID-19.” Enjoy Omis – it is a beautiful spot!

We have a trip planned to Croatia 4/29/22 and are wondering how safe it is for us to travel. We are in our 70’s in good shape though I am high risk.

Thank you for visiting our blog. We hope to have another on-the-ground update from a recent traveler to Croatia soon. However, assessing travel safety is quite relative and depends on your own risk tolerance. Right now, cases across Europe are high from the Omicron variant. It’s hard to predict what it will be like in April. If you have health risks, it’s probably best to asses that with a medical professional.

Thanks so much for this blog post ! I was wondering how you are getting your information, are you in Croatia now? I am currently in Egypt but want to move on to Croatia soon. I hold a NZ passport and I can’t find any clear information to tell me whether or not I am allowed entry. Can you shed any light on this?

Hi and thanks for visiting our blog. The information for this post is regularly updated by our team as the situation changes; it is based on online research and periodically checking in with locals and recent travelers to Croatia. The entry requirements are admittedly complicated. The official, detailed rules are best found here: https://mup.gov.hr/uzg-covid/english/286212 You can fill out a form on this page to verify your situation. My understanding is that you can enter as a third country national as long as you have a certificate for paid accommodation. Plus a negative test within 48 hours of arrival would be required to bypass quarantine. But of course, I recommend verifying through the official website.

My partner and I are dying to get back out and travel. We were full time traveling before Covid hit and we have since been trapped at home xD

We love the Balkans and the surrounding region so its nice to be reading about it to curb the itch to travel.

Great read 😀

Hi Maria. Thanks for your message. We hear you about wanting to get back out and travel!

Croatia Eliminates COVID-19 Travel Entry Rules — What to Know

Previously, visitors had to show proof of vaccination, a negative COVID-19 test, and proof of accommodations within the country to come as well as fill out an entry form online.

croatia to us travel restrictions

Croatia became the latest country to eliminate all COVID-19-related entry requirements this week, allowing travelers to visit without any testing, vaccination, or quarantine rules in place.

The European country reverted to pre-pandemic entry requirements on May 1, choosing to not extend the "Decision on Temporary Restriction of Crossing the Border Crossings of the Republic of Croatia," according to the Croatian National Tourist Board . Instead, "entry into the Republic of Croatia is allowed subject to the conditions of entry valid before the COVID 19 epidemic."

Travelers are permitted to enter the country from the air, land, or sea, according to the tourist board.

While there are no pandemic-related rules at the borders, masks are still recommended to be worn on public transportation and in indoor restaurants. Face coverings are only required in health care and social welfare institutions.

Currently, Croatia is averaging just over 690 new cases each day, according to Reuters , which is a significant drop from its peak in January. So far, the country has vaccinated just over 54.6% of its population, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center .

Croatia joins several other European countries in either easing COVID-19-related restrictions or doing away with them altogether like the United Kingdom , Sweden , Iceland , and Ireland . Others have rolled back restrictions like the Netherlands , which dropped pre-arrival testing for vaccinated visitors, and Italy , which just lifted its "Green Pass," no longer requiring visitors to show proof of vaccination to visit places like restaurants, bars, and museums.

Travelers who do go to Croatia will find southern Europe's first dark sky community in the town of Jelsa on the northern coast of Hvar, as well as stunning island resorts and palace escapes .

US travelers can go to Croatia - but not the rest of the EU

US travelers are permitted to enter Croatia © Mark Read / Lonely Planet

It may be surprising to American travelers to learn that they are permitted to enter Croatia at present, even though the US is not on the list of countries for which the European Union recommends lifting travel restrictions caused by COVID-19.

The EU published a list of countries whose citizens are permitted to travel to Europe from 1 July, but it did not include the US as the coronavirus outbreak is not under control there yet. However, the list is not legally binding, and Croatia has chosen to open up its borders to all international travelers. Travelers from the EU and Schengen zone can enter Croatia without restrictions, but those from third countries must present proof of their reason for travel on arrival. Visitors traveling for tourism reasons may enter, provided they hold evidence of paid accommodation in Croatia.

They are also permitted to enter for urgent personal reasons, such as attending a funeral or medical treatment, but must provide proof of same. This also goes for those with business or economic interests in Croatia, or those entering for education purposes. One condition is third-country travelers, including those from the US, must provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 48 hours of arriving in Croatia. If they don't have that, they must undergo a mandatory quarantine/self-isolation period of 14 days upon arrival in the country.

Travelers should note that while Croatia is part of the EU, it is not part of the Schengen area, so it is not possible to cross Croatia’s borders into other European countries without passing through border controls. Further information can be obtained from the Croatian Ministry of the Interior's website here.

As of September 2021, U.S. citizens are permitted to enter Croatia for tourism purposes with a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to arrival or by presenting a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate. The accepted vaccines include those authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

It's important to note that the vaccination certificate must clearly show the individual's name, type and manufacturer of the vaccine, and the date(s) when the vaccine dose(s) were administered. Additionally, the vaccination certificate must be written in English or have a certified translation in English.

Travelers must also complete an online entry form prior to arrival, which includes personal information, contact details, and the purpose of their visit to Croatia.

It's worth noting that the situation is subject to change, and travel restrictions may be adjusted based on the trajectory of the pandemic and the global health situation. Flexibility and preparedness for potential changes are key when planning any international travel during this time.

If you're planning a trip to Croatia from the United States, you may be wondering if there are any required vaccinations or health screenings. While Croatia is generally a safe country with high healthcare standards, it's always a good idea to check for any specific requirements before traveling. Here's what you need to know.

Vaccinations:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are no specific vaccinations required for travel to Croatia. However, it's always advisable to be up to date on routine vaccines such as measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), polio, and the yearly flu shot. Additionally, the CDC recommends getting vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, as these diseases can be contracted through contaminated food or water in Croatia. It's best to consult with your healthcare provider or a travel medicine specialist at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to determine your specific vaccination needs based on your medical history and travel plans.

Health screenings:

At the time of writing, Croatia does not require any specific health screenings for travelers from the United States. However, it's worth noting that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there may be additional health measures in place to protect public health. These measures can include temperature checks, health questionnaires, and COVID-19 testing requirements. It's crucial to stay updated on the latest travel advisories and requirements from both the U.S. Department of State and the Croatian government.

To ensure a safe and healthy trip to Croatia, there are some general health precautions you should take. These include practicing good hand hygiene by washing your hands regularly with soap and water or using hand sanitizer, avoiding contact with sick people, and following any local health guidelines or regulations. It's also a good idea to have travel insurance that covers any medical expenses abroad and to carry a copy of your medical records and prescriptions in case you need them while traveling.

In summary, there are no specific vaccinations or health screenings required for travelers from the United States to Croatia. However, it's always wise to stay up to date on routine vaccines, and consider additional immunizations for diseases such as hepatitis A and typhoid. Given the current COVID-19 situation, it's essential to monitor travel advisories and comply with any health measures implemented by Croatian authorities. By taking necessary precautions and staying informed, you can enjoy a safe and healthy trip to Croatia.

As countries continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions and requirements are constantly changing. If you are planning to travel to Croatia from the United States, it is important to stay updated on the latest information regarding quarantine and testing requirements upon arrival.

As of October 2021, Croatia has implemented a set of conditions for travelers arriving from the United States. The specific requirements may vary depending on your vaccination status and the COVID-19 situation at the time of your travel. Here are the current guidelines:

Vaccinated Travelers:

If you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, it is generally easier to enter Croatia without the need for quarantine or testing. To be considered fully vaccinated, you must have received a final dose of an approved vaccine at least 14 days before arrival.

Upon arrival, vaccinated travelers will not be required to quarantine or present a negative COVID-19 test result, unless they show symptoms of COVID-19. However, it is still advisable to monitor your health and follow any local health guidelines during your stay.

Non-vaccinated or Partially Vaccinated Travelers:

If you are not fully vaccinated or did not receive an approved vaccine, you may be subject to additional requirements upon arrival in Croatia. Non-vaccinated or partially vaccinated travelers are currently required to present a negative PCR test result taken no more than 72 hours before arrival or a negative rapid antigen test result taken no more than 48 hours before arrival.

In addition to the negative test result, non-vaccinated travelers will need to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival in Croatia. However, it is possible to shorten the self-isolation period by taking another PCR or rapid antigen test on the seventh day. If the test is negative, the self-isolation period can be discontinued.

It is important to note that the situation may change rapidly, and the above requirements might be updated or revised. Therefore, it is recommended to check the official government websites, such as the Croatian Ministry of Interior or the U.S. Embassy in Croatia, for the most up-to-date information before your trip.

It is also crucial to follow any additional health and safety measures implemented by the Croatian government, such as wearing face masks in public indoor spaces and practicing social distancing.

In conclusion, if you are traveling to Croatia from the United States, the requirements for quarantine and testing will depend on your vaccination status. Fully vaccinated travelers generally have fewer restrictions, while non-vaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals may need to present negative test results and undergo a self-isolation period. Stay informed and prepared by regularly checking official sources for the latest guidelines before your journey.

Croatia will hold a parliamentary election on April 17, the country’s president said on Friday.

President Zoran Milanovic scheduled the parliamentary vote after Croatia’s parliament dissolved on Thursday.

The ballot next month will pit the ruling conservative Croatian Democratic Union against a group of centrist and left-leaning parties who have announced they will run as an alliance.

Just hours after setting the election date, Milanovic announced a surprise bid to run for prime minister as the candidate of the opposition Social Democratic Party.

“I promise a determined and (corruption) clear government,” said Milanovic, who has served as prime minister in the past. “I’m inviting all honorable people and parties to come together (for the election.)”

Croatia is also slated to hold a presidential election by the end of the year. Milanovic said later he would resign as president after the parliamentary “victory.”

Milanovic will challenge the current conservative Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and his ruling Croatian Democratic Union, known by its Croatian initials as the HDZ.

The HDZ have largely held power since Croatia gained independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991. The party has faced mounting accusations of corruption from the opposition ahead of the ballot but has denied the claims.

Milanovic also set the country’s voting for the European Parliament on June 7.

The Adriatic Sea nation became the newest member of the European Union in 2013 and joined Europe’s free travel and euro zones last year.

US Imposes Visa Restrictions On Executives Facilitating Nicaragua Air Charters

  • Visa restrictions were announced on executives of charter airlines profiting from illegal migration.
  • Policy-based on Nicaragua 3C to stop irregular entry into the US.
  • Deportation costs governments thousands per person and is higher compared to tickets on scheduled flights.

The US Department of State, on March 11, announced that it is imposing visa restrictions on the Executives of Air Charters that facilitate irregular migrations into the United States of America. This decision was made following the increasingly growing trend of charter airlines offering flights into Nicaragua.

Expansion of restrictions

The restrictions imposed by the US Government are specifically targeted at transportation operators that profit from the vulnerable by charging extremely high fees for migrating into the United States in ways that are not legal. In a statement from the Department of State, the term used for such practices was termed "Predatory" and stated,

No one should profit from vulnerable migrants - not smugglers, private companies, public officials, or governments.

While these impositions were only announced earlier this week, the policy for restricting visas was first announced in November 2023 and was expanded last month on February 21. The State Department further states that there will be further engagement with governments in and outside the Western Hemisphere while also working with the private sector to work towards eliminating these harmful practices.

Taking a step further, the Department of State also announced that it will impose any additional visa restrictions as required.

The Nicaraguan 3C policy

The aforementioned visa restrictions that were imposed earlier this week are based on the visa restriction policy - Nicaragua 3C, which was first implemented in November 2023 but then superseded on February 21.

This policy was imposed on companies offering flights at exorbitant prices for migrants on ways to enter the United States, that were not legal and extremely risky for the migrants and their families. A key risk was that, if caught, the illegal immigrants would then be sent back to their home countries, from where they were trying to flee in the first place.

When first announcing the policy, the Department of State urged anyone seeking to migrate to the United States to find one of the several safe and lawful pathways available to enter the country.

It was stated that the current administration has seen the largest expansion of lawful pathways to enter the country in decades and will continue to enforce consequences on people who do not use these legal pathways to enter the United States, and this includes deportation back to their home countries.

Costs of deportation.

Deporting a person is always a bit complicated, especially if air travel is involved. Most airlines around the world do not participate in the deportation process, thus forcing governments to often bear the cost of chartering flights for these passengers.

In a report from 2021, The Guardian stated that the government of the United Kingdom had to pay for the removal of 322 people on 23 charter flights from the country in the fourth quarter of 2020. This operation reportedly cost the government over $16,000 (£13,000) per person, which is over a hundred times the cost of an average ticket on a scheduled flight.

However, in the instances of commercial passengers being refused entry into a country after landing there, depending on the situation, the airline or the government would have to bear the cost of transporting the passenger back to the point of origin. However, the airline or the government is legally allowed to pass on the charges of the return flight(s) to the passenger.

A high-profile example of such an occurrence happened in 2022 when tennis player Novak Djokovic was refused entry into Australia on the grounds that he was not vaccinated. In this instance, his inbound airline, Emirates, was off the hook, and the cost of his return flight (also with Emirates) was reportedly on the Australian Government.
