What is a Schengen Visa for Croatia?

A Schengen visa for Croatia is a short-term visa that allows travelers to enter Croatia for tourism, business, or family visits. Although Croatia joined the Schengen area in 2023, UAE residents still require a valid Schengen visa to enjoy its picturesque coastlines, historic cities, and cultural landmarks.

This visa permits stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is part of the Schengen agreement, which allows visa holders to travel to multiple Schengen countries without needing separate visas for each country.

Who Needs a Schengen Visa for Croatia?

Residents of the UAE and other non-Schengen countries planning to visit Croatia for tourism, family visits, or short business trips need a Schengen visa. Citizens of the UAE must apply for this visa before travel, even if they have visited other European countries previously.

Key eligibility criteria:
  • UAE residents traveling to Croatia for up to 90 days.
  • Travelers visiting for tourism, business meetings, or family/friends.
  • Individuals with no prior visa violations in the Schengen area.
