Banja Luka
RS categorisation and immediate central-system guest entry sit beside Grad Banja Luka’s 3 KM overnight tax — foreign guests still need eStranac within 12 hours.
Local focus
- RS hospitality system
- City tax 3 KM
- eStranac
Country context
Zakon o strancima BiH requires accommodation providers to report foreign guests within 12 hours (eStranac) — on top of entity hospitality licensing (FBiH rješenje / RS categorisation) and canton- or city-set boravišna taksa. BiH is an EU candidate, not EU/Schengen.
Remote arrival works when foreign-guest identity data for the 12-hour eStranac / knjiga stranaca report is complete before access is released — a door code is not a substitute for that filing.
