In July 2020, the Croatian National Tourist Board developed an online portal https://nautika.evisitor.hr/ in order to digitize the process of collecting the flat tourist tax in nautical, which, in addition to the flat-rate tourist tax option, also allows payment according to the number of nights.
One of the advantages of this method of charging, which is in line with current epidemiological recommendations, is the reduction of the need for physical visits to the premises of Harbor Master's Offices / Branches.
After the pilot project of establishing online toll collection in 2020, and the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic is still present, the Croatian Tourist Board, in agreement with the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, decided in 2021 to exclusively collect toll nautical online through the https portal. : //nautika.evisitor.hr/ and from April 4, 2021, it is no longer possible to buy it in the premises of port authorities / branches.
The leaflet contains short instructions for using the portal and a QR code which, after being scanned, redirects the user to the application page.
For easier information, we enclose an example of a confirmation that the boater will receive by email after a successful payment and which he is obliged to have with him during the entire duration of the voyage.
