  1. We will fly from Thailand to Italy, then take an overnight ferry from Bari (Italy) to Dubrovnik, then stay in Croatia for 7 days, hire a car for travelling, then get the train from Zagreb to Budapest, and finally fly back Thailand from Hungary.

    So, if we are a holder of the short-term stay ITALY Schengen Visa, and also our purpose is tourist visiting, we do not have to apply for the Croatian Visa, do we?

    Is our understanding right?

    Thank you

  2. Naseer Ahmad,
    Of course you can get a tourist visa for Croatia.
    For more information visit: https://www.mfa.hr/MVP.asp?pcpid=1615&dmid=48#pocdrz

    Devendra,
    Having a valid Schengen visa;
    a)organised group means having a person as your travel guide (who works for a travel agency or other company) and must have proper qualifications to be a tourist guide. The group can be of only two persons as long as you have a preson as a travel guide. Also, you must have your travel itinerary from the agency where your guide works. Citizens of different countries have different conditions of entry in Croatia. You, as Indian citizen do not have to arrive on a cruise ship but must come from a Schengen member country. Not to forget you have to have a valid travel health insurance.

    2)The section number 2 applies to you, as you are Indian citizen.
    As well, section 2 was written so that citizens of the countries mentioned should not think that the regulation number 1 applies to them as well, it does not.

    You can check for confirmation with the Croatian embassy. I assure you that they will answer the same I did. Though, I work as a border agent and I check all information in the system used at port of entries.

    c)You must leave the country with the same group with whom you entered.

    Rob,
    Croatia has the same regulations as the Schengen member countries. As so, you are allowed to stay up to 90 days in a 180 day period. If you leave the country for a week or two it does not reset the clock, you would still be allowed to stay 90 days in a 180 day period. You can apply for a short-term stay visa. It is not expensive, and you would easily get it, as Australian citizen.

    Polapat,
    Your understanding is good. You do not have to apply for a Croatian visa.

  3. Thank you very much JackD. So, now I can save the Croatian VISA fee, and the difficulty of applying the Croatian VISA in Thailand.

    • Hi! I was having the same problem. I was just having a chat with my mom on what we were going to do. I’m from Sri Lanka and we do not have a Croatian Embassy here in Colombo which means I have to go through the Croatian Embassy in New Delhi, India. Since I will be travelling soon to Europe I can not send our passports to New Delhi.
      Polapat thank you for raising that question. Happy Travels
      JackD thank you very my for the information.

  4. Hi, I am holding an Indian Passport and am staying Oman on work permit. I wish to visit Croatia. What are the visa procedure? I can get Schengen visa (frequent travel to Europe).

    Since Croatia does not have an Embassy here.

    What is the best way to reach Zabok?

  5. Hi to all Experts,

    I have gone through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on “Visa requirement overviews” (https://www.mvpei.hr/mvp.asp?pcpid=1615&dmid=187#pocdrz), but still having a couple of doubts here.

    Would appreciate if anyone can provide any info for my case.

    * As a Chinese passport holder and currently working in the UK (provided with valid residence permit / work permit);
    * Have a valid Schengen visa;
    * Would like to travel to Croatia for a few days in early June (which falls in the published temporarily facilitate period, from 1 April to 31 October 2011);

    In terms of travelling via airoplane into Croatia, does it require for Croatia visa prior travelling?

    Appreciate for your answers / experience in advance.

  6. Hello,

    To JackD (author) and Croatia Expert,

    I’ve sent the same question as above to the Consular officer, Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Indonesia. He replied me as follows:

    “You need a visa because ferry is not cruise ship and even if you are arriving on a cruise ship you will not be able to stay overnight at the shore.

    cruise ship is
    a ship used to carry groups of tourists from port to port on a designated route and usually equipped to entertain them lavishly along the way

    ferryboat is
    a boat transport (people, vehicles, or goods) by boat across a body of water.”

    Why he said like that? So sad to heard from him ๐Ÿ™

    Does anyone already have this experience? or
    Has anyone been to Croatia by ferry without VISA yet?

    Thank you,

    PS: I didn’t argue both of you, but just only want to know.

  7. Benjamim,
    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
    TIRGL/SCHN and a travel health insurance. Passenger must
    travel as a tourist in an organised group and arrive from a
    Schengen Member State.
    You can get a visa at the nearest Croatian Embassy.
    More information here: https://www.mfa.hr/MVP.asp?pcpid=1615

    Tomas,
    Visa required, except for A max stay of 90 days:
    – for holders of Hong Kong (SAR China) passports;
    – for nationals of China (People’s Rep.) provided holding
    normal passports together with visa issued by a Schengen
    Member State TIRGL/SCHN and a travel health insurance.
    Passenger must travel as a tourist in an organised group
    and arrive from a Schengen Member State.
    Since UK is not a Schengen member state you require a visa.

    Polapat,
    Unfortunately, if you received that reply then you require a visa.
    Sorry, I just red your question again and I misunderstood your Italian visa with Italian Residence Permit. But you will get a Croatian visa easily, as you already got your Italian one and it is not expensive. I wish you a welcome to Croatia and have a good time here.

  8. Hello Experts,

    I am the captain of a pleasure yacht coming to Croatia with a South African national aboard. She is the holder of a Schengen visa. Will this be enough to enter Croatia for 90 days? Will she also require travel health insurance?

      THEN ALSO U ENQUIRY ABT IT โ€ฆ AND DO ASK ABT IT HOW MANY PPL MUST BE TOGHTER WHILE ENTERING IN CROATIA THROUGH SCHENGEN VISA

  9. Hi ,

    I heard the news that the Kuwaitis people no need to get Visa from June to September ? Is it true !!

  10. I am possibly joining a super yacht as a crew member once it is in Croatia.
    I will be flying in from South Africa to Croatia, I will then board the yacht as crew and the yacht will spend some time in Croatia and then depart to European waters.
    I have a Schengen and a Seaman’s book.
    What visa will I need to enter Croatia to join my boat?

  11. Ben,
    Since she is arriving on a pleasure yacht, she requires a visa.
    Schengen visa is valid for entry into Croatia only if arriving to Croatia on cruise ships with the purpose of tourist visit.

    khaled,
    Yes IF you are holding normal passport together with a visa issued by a Schengen Member State and a travel health insurance.

    kirsty,
    You will need a Travel (tourist) visa.
    -Travel visa may be issued for one, two or multiple entries into the Republic of Croatia, for tourist, business, personal or other purposes. Validity period of a travel visa is up to one year.
    Continuous stay or total duration of consecutive stays may not exceed 90 days in the period of 6 months, counting from the date of first entry.

  32. Please Help,

    Im trying to plan a honey moon for my partner and I (i am a UK passport holder and he is South African) I currently live in Cape Town South Africa and have spoken to the Croatian embassy in Pretoria (we live in Cape Town where there is no Croatian embassy) to avoid the added expense of flying to Pretoria to appear in person as per there requirements, I was advised by one of the lady’s at the embassy that with a valid schengen Type C visa and supporting documentation (what you used to apply for the visa) you may be granted entry!!

    Obviously im confused as Croatia is NOT a schengen state!!!

    Please can you clarify this for me!!!!

    • Hi Clair, I’d love clarity as well.

      We both South African’s and will be traveling to Italy on a multiple entry Italian Schengen Visa.
      From Italy we will visit Croatia for 4 days and return to Italy and then cruise from Italy for 7 days on the med and fly back to South Africa from Venice. We phoned the embassy and they said as long as we have all the required papers, visit of stay, proof of income etc(As required to apply for a VISA) we can enter in Croatia on our Schengen Visa. I just want confirmation in writing that this is the case and be sure what papers we need to have with us.

    • Hi Clair, I think if we google enough we will find the answer.

      I just found the following:
      https://www.mvep.hr/MVP.asp?pcpid=1615&dmid=245#pocdrz

  46. Hi, I am Thai. I saw Croatia visa is not required if holding double or multiple entries Schengen visa. This is due to people will go back to Schengen countries after visiting Croatia. I have single entry Schengen visa. If I visited other Schengen countries then Croatia then leave Europe from Croatia, would single entry visa is enough?
