Croatia is an EU and Schengen member on the Adriatic Sea, known for stunning Dalmatian Coast islands, medieval walled cities, crystal-clear waters, Game of Thrones filming locations, and rich Roman heritage. Zagreb is the capital. Croatia joined the Schengen Area and Eurozone in 2023. Visitors are drawn to Dubrovnik's Old Town walls (UNESCO site), Plitvice Lakes National Park waterfalls, Split's Diocletian's Palace, island-hopping (Hvar, Korčula, Brač), Istrian hilltop towns and truffles, Zadar's Sea Organ, and vibrant coastal nightlife. Croatia offers Mediterranean beauty with reasonable prices compared to Western Europe.

Visa Requirements for Croatia

As of January 1, 2023, Croatia is a full member of the Schengen Area. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens can enter with just a valid ID card or passport for unlimited stays. Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and many other countries can enter visa-free for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The same Schengen rules now apply to Croatia. Those requiring Schengen visas should apply through Croatian embassies or consulates (or any Schengen country's mission), submitting completed application forms, passport photographs, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, travel insurance (minimum €30,000 coverage), proof of financial means, and purpose-specific documents. Croatia's integration into Schengen has eliminated border controls with neighboring Schengen countries.
