Entering by boat: Bosnia and Herzegovina
What to do to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina by sea: the procedures, the papers to present and the ports where you can clear in.
Check with the authorities before you leave (last checked on 28 October 2026).
The steps
- Clear in through Croatia (Ploče, Dubrovnik) or Montenegro before visiting Neum.
Good to know
- Only coastline: Neum (about 20 km). No source lists it as a port of entry for foreign yachts.
- Neum has a harbour master, but nothing shows a maritime border post: clear in through Croatia or Montenegro.
