Passport/Visa

Travellers who want to enter Croatia must have a passport issued within the past 10 years and valid for 3 months after their planned departure from the country. EU citizens are only requested to provide their ID card to enter the country. In most cases visas are not required for stays up to 90 days, but travellers are advised to check the Foreign and European Affairs Ministry's website.
