Requirements and Instructions for the Croatia Visas
Entry/Exit Requirements
"A passport is required for travel to Croatia. A visa is not
required for U.S. passport holders for tourist or business trips
of fewer than 90 days within a six-month period. All foreign citizens
must register with the local police within 24 hours of arrival and
inform the office about any change in their address. Registration
of foreign visitors staying in hotels or accommodations rented through
an accommodation company is done automatically by the hotelier or
accommodation company. Failure to register is a misdemeanor offense;
some Americans have been fined as a result of their failure to register.
U.S. citizens already in Croatia who wish to remain in Croatia for
more than 90 days must obtain a temporary residence permit from
the local police having jurisdiction over their place of residence
in Croatia. With their residency application, applicants will need
to provide a copy of their birth and marriage certificates (obtained
within 90 days before application) and a police report authenticated
for use abroad from their state of residence in the U.S. or from
the country where they permanently reside. All documents should
have an “apostille” stamp certifying their authenticity.
Information regarding apostilles and authentication of documents
is available at http://travel.state.gov/law/info/judicial/judicial_701.html.
For information on obtaining FBI or local police reports, please
see http://travel.state.gov/tips/emergencies/emergencies_1201.html.
If an extension of the approved temporary stay is needed, the request
should be submitted no later than 30 days in advance of the last
day of authorized stay." - US State Dept
