🇨🇳 China to Croatia: visa and entry requirements 🇭🇷

Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Schengen visa required before travel; maximum 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole area · A mainland People's Republic of China ordinary-passport holder must obtain a Schengen visa before tourism travel to Croatia. Croatia participates in the common Schengen short-stay system, whose ceiling is 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across the entire area rather than a separate Croatian allowance. Time spent in another Schengen state therefore reduces the remaining period available in Croatia. The application belongs with Croatia when it is the sole or main destination, while the issued sticker may authorise fewer days or entries than the shared maximum. Possession of the visa is not an automatic right of entry and the traveller may still be asked to substantiate the purpose and conditions of the trip at the border.
