We are South African passport holders visiting Dubrovnik during August 2010 for 1 day on a cruise ship.
Do we require visas?
Hi Andrew
the normal procedure is that the cruising comping would take care of visa if required, so i think best think would be to ask the cruise company you travel with.
Morten
Hi Morten,
I recently moved to Croatia (Zagreb) with my Croatian wife and I am currently in the process of applying for permanent residency. I now require documents officially translated (English, Czech to Croatian) and notarised.
Can you recommend?
Thank you
Hi Mario, i would have to pass on that question, it is more then 4 years ago since i had to deliver translated documents, so i don’t really have anybody i could recommend.
Kindest regards, Morten
hello, i would like to know if an algerian people can get visa tourism for croatia . thank you
Hi Idriss, should be possible, i am not sure what embassy you have to contact, but try contacting the Croatian foreign ministry in Zagreb
hello,… i would like to know if an algerian people can get visa tourism for croatia? and i have who send me invitation…
Hi
Just to clarify: if as a South African Citizen I am on a cruise which stops over in Debrovnic for 8 hrs, I will not need to apply for a visa before hand? So I assume that the Port authority in Venice where we depart from, will not require a visa to allow me to board?
Thanks a million for you help…..no one seems to be able to give me a clear answer.
Cheers

Hi Stephen,
if you are arriving on a cruise ship, they will take care of your Visa if necessary, so please ask the cruising company

VISA REGIME INFORMATION
AND
VISA REQUIREMENTS
Government of the Republic of Croatia, at its session on 25 February 2010, adopted the decision to temporarily facilitate the entry of aliens on tourist visits to the Republic of Croatia on the basis of valid Schengen residence permits and visas. Consequently, the following categories of aliens temporarily, from 1 April to 31 October 2010, do not require a visa for entering the Republic of Croatia:
1. Holders of valid Schengen residence permits;
2. Holders of valid Schengen visas arriving on cruise ships sailing out of a port in one of the Schengen states;
3. Nationals of the Republic of India and of the People’s Republic of China, holders of valid Schengen visas, who collectively and in an organised manner visit the Republic of Croatia as tourists, if in possession of a valid travel health insurance and arriving from the Schengen Area
4. Nationals of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman and the United Arab Emirates, holders of valid Schengen visas, if in possession of a valid travel health insurance.
Hi Stephen, thanks for sharing this info, i am sure that is going to make it a lot easier for quite a few people.
Kindest regards, Morten
Hi Morten, I would like to travel to Croatia and stay for 90 days.I will travel on an Australian passport. I believe from the Croatian Consulate here that I can holiday there for max 90 days in the first half of the year, and 90 days in the second half of the year.
If I used Croatia as a base to travel to various parts of Europe, say for a few days or a couple of weeks here and there, and then go back to Croatia, will the time I am out of the country be subtracted from my 90 days max holiday stay and thereby extend the overall time allowed in the country?
Secondly, if I wish to stay a further 90 days in the second half of the year, how long would I have to exit the country for in order to re-enter for a further 90 days?
The reason for wanting to stay so long is that my partner, also an Australian, has the opportunity to work in Croatia on a 12 month contract and I would like to stay with him for as long as possible. I think my chances of gaining a work permit myself are very poor. I am a teacher and would like to teach English there, but I believe it is very hard to get a work permit if you are a foreigner.
Thank you for your time, Brenda
Hi Brenda,
I don’t think it should be a problem, when your are here you have to report to the police on which address you are staying and you have to pay tourist tax, as long as you do that I don’t see any problem in leaving the country in the 90 days period (Lots of tourist go to Bosnia and Montenegro, and return back to Croatia, and I never heard about anybody having problem in that relation, and your case is basically the same)
If the days you are out count in the period or not? I am not sure, and I think you could get lots of different answers to that question. To be 100% sure you should check with the embassy in Australia, I don’t see any problems in travelling to other countries in the 90 days period, but I can imagine, that deducting the days you are out would be problematic, at least in practical terms.
Let me know what they reply, would interest me
Brgds, Morten
Brenda,
Hi Brenda ,
I asked one of my friends he says the rule is like this
You are allowed to be in the country for 90 days in a 6 month period, if you only report your selves to the police for the exact days you’re here, the 90 days can be distributed in what ever way inside the 6 month period, the next 6 month period would then start exactly 6 month after the first day of registration by the police.
If you keep proof of the registered days, you should be fine.
Hi Morten, thank you for your speedy reply. I love your website,congratulations on a job well done; you are providing a great service indeed. I am still searching for info here. Rang the Croatian Consulate here in Sydney, and got info which is a little different from what you said in your second reply. Will write again to explain further when I check with a travel agent here who knows her stuff on travel in Europe.
Cheers for now,
Brenda
Hi Brenda, thanks for the nice words, I am glad you like our website.
I checked the German forum yesterday evening; according to people there, the law is handle differently depending on which area of Croatia you are staying in, some say It is like I described above, some say it is related to stamp in the passport, some say the easiest way is to stay under the “radar”. So I guess only way to be sure, it to get something in written form, from the embassy.
Kindest regards, Morten
Hi Morten, thanks for the reply. With so much info it is beginning to be quite confusing. However, it is lots of fun trying to figure out the easiest way to stay for a long as possible in Croatia. Re my conversation with the Croatian Consulate here in Oz, I was told that you can stay for 90 days in the first half of the year, i.e. Jan-June, and 90 days in the second half of the year, July-Dec, but cannot stay 6 months consecutively. However, try as I may, I could not get her to give me a time gap. My thinking is now, come over in late September and stay till near end of Dec and then go to Italy or Greece, where I have friends living, return to Croatia beginning of April-June. Then leave for a week or so, and return July-September. Does that tally with your info? Cheers, keep up the good work, Brenda
Hi Brenda, I am bit surprised about the reply you got from the Consulate; I never heard that version before, and I don’t think you’re April – June, July – September plan will work out. (If it is like the claim, you basically stay the whole summer here (April – September), with out any problem)
Everywhere I have seen it is first day of registration by the police, which basically initiates’ the 6 month period.
But if you can get the consulate to give you that in writing I guess you should be fine.
Morten
Hello, How are you?
My name is Christian i’m Colombian, but right now I’m studying in Austria with a Visa type D, I saw in the following page
“http://www.mvpei.hr/MVP.asp?pcpid=1615″ that holder of valid residences permits and visas can enter to Croatia, I’m planning to assist to a concert only one night and come back to Austria, there should be a problem if I do this?…Thank you for your answer. Have a nice day.
Kind regards,

Hi Morten
I am in the process of organising a contiki trip around Europe and have already obtained my shengen visa through the Swiss consulate seeing as my brother lives in Switzerland. It just so happens this trip stops in Croatia for 2 days. It seems such a mission and expense to purchase a Croatian a visa for such a short period of time. I would have to use a courier company to do it for me seeing as there is no consulate in my city. I was browsing the SA Croatian consulates site and found this:
Government of the Republic of Croatia, at its session on 25 February 2010, adopted the decision to temporarily facilitate the entry of aliens on tourist visits to the Republic of Croatia on the basis of valid Shengen residence permits and visas. Consequently, the following categories of aliens temporarily, from 1 April to 31 October 2010, do not require a visa for entering the Republic of Croatia:
1) Holders of valid Shengen residence permits;
2) Holders of valid Shengen visas arriving on cruise ships sailing out of a port in one of the Shengen states;
3) Nationals of the Republic of India and of the People’s Republic of China, holders of valid Shengen visas, who collectively and in an organised manner visit the Republic of Croatia as tourists, if in possession of a valid travel health insurance and arriving from the Shengen Area, and
4) Nationals of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman and the United Arab Emirates, holders of valid Shengen visas, if in possession of a valid travel health insurance.
Would you not agree that I fall into category 4 here seeing as I am in possession of a shengen visa and have already organised my international travel insurance?? And therefor not in need of getting a Croatian visa?
Look forward to your reply.
Regards James
Hi Jamie
as i understand the text, my opinion would also be that you are covered under point 4.
In general Croatia is loosing on the Visa requirement to keep tourist coming.
Brgds, Morten
PS: sounds very interesting with a contiki trip, is it something i could write about on my news side?
Dear Morten,
further to your last post by James on the 19th I would be thrilled if this was the case but I am concerned that only the nationals described in the first 2 lines of paragraph 4 that hold a valid schengen visa would not be required to obtain the Croatian visa? otherwise it would have been a point on its own as is point 1. I hope I am wrong but would appreciate your take on it.
regards
Dear Philip
Is a bit tricky how they write it, I read I trough a couple of times again, and I get your point and I think you are right.
If anybody has some updated information please post a comment.
Morten
Hello
The update can be, that I already when to Croatia with my visa type D of Austria, and I past the border and there weren’t any problems. So thanks for the help.
See ya.

Hi Mohammed, i dont answer on that one, you will have to contact the embassy.
Morten
Hi, just double checking with you – excellent website incidentally. If I’m driving from the UK to Split, I know I need my car registration doc, insurance green card, GB sticker, etc., but do I need an International driving license as well as my UK/EU license, or will my UK/EU license suffice?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
hello friend i want to know can i get visa in croatia after arrival?
plz tell me i will wait ur answer.
Hi Andy,
To enter Croatia with a car you need car registration certificate, green insurance card and the country sticker.
I have never heard that you should need an extra international driving licence, everybody I know just bring the pink / Rosa EU driving licence from the respective country, so I am sure you would be ok bringing your UK/EU licence.
Brgds, Morten
Thanks Morten ! I thought the info I’d been given could not have been right, so thanks for confirming
Best Wishes,
Andy
Hallo Morten
I’m a South African working in Qatar for the last 5 years… We (my fiancé is American) are getting married in South Africa this July and then off on honeymoon to Italy, Rome (1week), fly to Croatia for 1 week, to Slovenia 1 for 1week and then back to Venice Italy for 1 week… Do I need a visa for Croatia? and if so, can I apply for one in SA THIS SUMMER? How long does it normally take to complete the process?
Kind regards and thanks for this great site…
Henk
Hi Henk,
The normal procedure is that you have to apply for a visa at the nearest Croatian DM or CO, in your case as a SA citizen living abroad; I would assume the easiest would be to contact the Croatian DM/CO in SA.

hi, could you please tell me what docs do i need for my 14 yr old to travel to croatia stansted to split flying on his own, and will be met by friends to holiday with ? do i just need to write a letter with all the information on it, eg, date address names etc and authorization from me?
thanks
Hi Sue, I am not aware what the rules are in relation to younger people traveling alone, but I think that is a matter of airline policies, so my advice would be to get in touch with the airline company and ask what is required.
Brgds, Morten
thanks very much, all i can seem to find out is that he needs a chaperone for departure and getting to gate, and a letter of authorization from me saying i approve of him travelling etc, and obviously signed and witnessed from an official body, ie, the police or post office or someone,may i also add, that my post office has said they will stamp if free of charge(just so others may find this info helpful).I will contact airline as you suggest, many thanks again.

Hi Morten,
Great website! Thanks for making and maintaining one.
I hold Indian passport with valid Schengen Visa (multiple entry) in it. In August, we are taking a seven-days Greek Isle cruise (NCL gem)starting and ending at Venice port. On second day our cruise stops in Split for about 6hrs, after that it will stop at various places in Greece before returning to Venice. Do we need a visitor/transit visa to Croatia in this case?

Hi There,
I am an Indian National born and raised in the UAE. I am currently residing in Dubai and have been wanting to visit Croatia for years now. Although, getting a visa for Croatia is extremely painstaking.
I came accross this site below and I started to wonder if I were to travel, as an individual, to a schengen state and then entered Hr. then would that make me exempt from getting a Croatia tourist visa? provided I have a valid schengen visa and insurance?
http://www.mvpei.hr/MVP.asp?pcpid=1615
Please advise.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Ali,
If you are holding a valid Schengen residence permit you do not require a visa for stay up to 90 days
birundhaa,
Visa required, except for A max stay of 90 days:
- for nationals of India provided holding normal passports together with visa issued by a Schengen Member State and a travel health insurance. Passenger must travel as a tourist in an organised group.
Hr.Fan,
To do so, you MUST travel in an organised group.
If you intend to enter Croatia alone you will be refused entry.
I strongly advise you to obtain a visa if travelling alone.
Hi Jack, that would be excellent, it is impossible for me to keep up will everything related to Visa, so any help is welcome, thanks for replying on the first questions
Morten

Hi,
I want to visit Croatia for my summer holidays. I am from Peru but I live in England (married with a EU). If it’s possible to visit Croatia with my English residence.
Thank you!
Fabiana,
If you are a Peruan passport holder you require a visa to enter Croatia, even if you have a UK residence permit because UK is not a Schengen country but if you hold a EU passport you can enter Croatia without a visa.
My wife has a russian passport and a US green card does she need a visa to travel to Croatia?
No,
Provisional visa regime suspension from 1st April to 31st October 2010 – citizens of the Russian Federation, holders of valid regular passports, will not require a visa for entering the Republic of Croatia and for a stay of up to 90 days.

My son is working on a yacht in Croatia currently – he is South African. His Schengen visa expires in Sept 2010 and is returning to obtain a Croatian visa – I believe he can only get a 90 day visa. What can u do to obtain a visa for a longer period of time as he cannot go back and forth every 3 months. Is there any way around this or would a Schengen visa alone be sufficient.
THanking you
Hi Morten,
I am planning a trip to Croatia, flying into Split. I am a U.S. citizen and I will be staying with friends. I have been reading about entry requirements and I am a bit confused. I know that a passport is required and that a visa is not because I will only be there 1 week. Is it necessary to register with the police in Zagreb when I arrive, or is that only for visitors staying more than 90 days?
Thanks,
Denise
Hi Denise,
you have to register at the nearest police (does not have to Zagreb, i you stay somewhere else) and pay the tourist tax of about 1 Euro a day.
Morten
Hi,
My friend and I are citizens of Ukraine and we are going to visit Croatia for a week in September. Please explain what documents (except for valid passport) we need to show on Croatian border. As we know no visa is required till the end of October. Do we need to have health insurance? Is it obligatory to have health insurance or only if we want to? Do we need to show confirmation of accomodation reserved for one week period? What other documents are required?
Thanks in advance,
Alexandra
Alexandra,
You only need valid passports to enter Croatia.
No health insurance is required, although it is recommended.
You do not need to show confirmation of accomodation but hold a copy just in case, sometimes Croatian border police ask `third country citizens` to show confirmation.
And hold a sufficienf funds, at least EUR 100 per day of stay, but nobody is going to ask for that so do not worry.
Regards,
JackD

hi,
i’m italian and my boyfriend is croatian and we are considering going to new zealand (or australia) to look for a job and stay there for a while. i know that citizens from certain countries (like italy) have the option to go there with a working holiday visa. croatia doesn’t seem to be one of these countries. what should he do in order to get a visa and be able to legally work there? once there, would he be able to change his visa into an other kind (and stay longer) in case he finds a job? i was not able to find any information about croatia-new zealand agreements on the visa regulation online!!
Please help!!
Hi Clau
i dont know anything about that but now your question is online, so maybe somebody else would be able to answer your question
Morten
Hi I am looking for information on visas needed for a group of South Africans going to Croatia for a gymnastics competition. They will go after 31 October because the competition is in November. Some will have Schengen visas. Does the Schengen suffice or so they need separate Craoatian visas? Thanks
Clau,
Your boyfriend should contact the Australian Embassy in Croatia, though working holiday visa is also available for Croatian citizens.
Here is the link for New Zealand visa regulations:
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/
Despite, New Zealand working/immigrant visa is so easy to get.
Since there is no New Zealand embassy in Croatia you should contact one in Italy.
