Do you need a visa to visit Croatia?

Visa requirements
In today's globalized world economy many countries are trying to simplify the visa issuing procedure or even terminate visa requirements at all. In order for this to happen bilateral agreements between countries need to be signed. In terms of visa requirements Croatia has agreements with many countries around the world, making it easier for their citizens to freely travel to Croatia.

New rules
Government of Republic of Croatia, as of March 10, 2011, adopted the decision to temporarily facilitate the entry of aliens on tourist visits to the Croatia on the basis of valid Schengen residence permits and visas. Fore information on specific details about visas on any country, I suggest visiting Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration.
