Visas for Croatia, without the guesswork

Short stays in Croatia run on the shared Schengen rules — one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Croatia takes applications

Good to know about Croatia

• Joined Schengen and the euro on the same day, 1 January 2023.
• Croatia applies its own national airport-transit list on top of the EU common list.

Staying longer than 90 days

Stays over 90 days use a long-stay visa (D) tied to an approved residence/work purpose; temporary residence is granted by the police administration after arrival.
