Guest registration compliance in Zadar, Croatia
What Zadar hotels and short-term rentals are legally required to do for guests, and how Simple Guests handles it automatically.
What the law requires
Under the Tourist Facility Fee Act (Zakon o boravišnoj pristojbi), every accommodation provider in Croatia must check guests in and out of eVisitor, the national tourist-registration system, within 24 hours of arrival and departure. The rule applies uniformly nationwide, administered through the local tourist board (turistička zajednica).
In Zadar, Simple Guests submits eVisitor check-ins automatically the moment a guest checks in — no manual portal work.
How Simple Guests handles this
- Guests scan their ID and sign digitally during check-in — no paper forms.
- eVisitor check-ins and check-outs are filed automatically within 24 hours of each event.
- Every record is retained for the full 2-year period automatically.
