Green Card for Bosnia/ Croatia
 

I am intending to drop into Dubrovnik(Croatia) & travel coastwards towards Split (Croatia)...I believe there is a border that is stopping me Bosnia. To buy a green card...could anyone confirm the price for 1 bike or indeed if Google map is correct!

Thanks in advance

You had to cross Bosnia and you need green card (in the peak of the season they will probably just wave you through, but you never known).

Thanks very much for the prompt response!

You do have to pass through a 12 mile stretch of Bosnia but you will be waved through and you can't buy temporary cover at that crossing.

I intend doing exactly the same around 22nd Aug. Have you done this yet ? If not I will try and remember to post my experience for you. If Blocked my plan "B" is to travel to trpanj on the peninsular and by boat to ploce

Normally you won't encounter any problems, just say you are on "tranzit", you will be waved through.

Your plan B is much more interesting, though. It takes maybe 2 more hours, but it is a nice drive.

Kind regards, enjoy your trip.

Groupama do Green cards for Bosnia. You need to be insured with them to start with though. £30 ish

We bought insurance at the border at Metkovic three years ago on the way through Croatia to Mostar in Bosnia.

Don't worry I went though twice this year and twice last year, wave you straight through only stop the Croatian and bosnian plates, I think the border guards are ordered to not interrupted holiday makers on route unless they shoot at you, (I think)

Just looked at plate & gb sticker waved through. No gun fire.

We just crossed this morning, Canadian bike, all they asked for was our passports, ( helmets stayed on )

We were through in less than 5 minutes no lineups.

There are no issues on this coastal road. You will be checked if heading through the border into Bosnia proper( towards Mostar) and will require the insurance (Osigoranje) to be bought there.

Crossed in a car Easter 2013 (Macedonian plates) and there was nobody there at the transit bit.

For information green card insurance for a Yamaha XT motorcycle on UK plates: (in May 2014)

Turkey - 20$
Macedonia - 50€ for 15 days minimum, Dzvegor crossing
Kosovo - 15€, Elez Han crossing
Montenegro - 10€, Pec/Peje north crossing
Bosnia - 25€, Cajnice crossing

Charles, thanks very much for posting that summary of insurance costs.

I'm in Zadar at the moment, planning on poking my way through the former Yugoslavian countries, and I have found it very confusing and difficult to find information about the insurance requirements and availability for all these countries.

Your post above is very helpful, thanks again.
