Tips for Crossing the Croatian Border

Croatia became a member of the Schengen area from January 1, 2023. This means entry formalities have been considerably simplified for EU and Schengen citizens.

For Schengen Citizens

Tourists from Schengen countries do not need any identity cards or passports to enter Croatia. Schengen citizens can be tourists for 90 days in any Member State.

For Non-Schengen Citizens

  • Valid passport with issue date less than 10 years ago
  • Passport validity of at least 3 months after your planned departure date
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking, address confirmation)
  • Proof of travel insurance
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Proof of sufficient funds for your stay

New EES (Entry/Exit System)

From October 2025, when entering the Schengen area you may be asked to register biometric details: fingerprints and photo at a special booth. Children under 11 will not have fingerprints scanned but may have photos taken.

Police Registration

Your accommodation provider must register you with police within 48 hours. Hotels typically do this automatically.
