Visa Services
As both Croatia and Germany are members of the European Union and the Schengen Area, German citizens do not require visas to enter or reside in Croatia. They enjoy freedom of movement under EU regulations and can travel, live, and work in Croatia without visa requirements. The consulate provides information and assistance regarding residency registration, documentation for extended stays, and EU citizen rights in Croatia. For third-country nationals residing in the consulate's district who require visas to visit Croatia, the consulate processes Schengen visa applications following common EU visa procedures. Applicants must submit a completed application form, valid passport with sufficient validity, biometric passport photographs, travel health insurance with minimum €30,000 coverage, proof of accommodation and travel itinerary in Croatia, and evidence of financial means. Visa appointments should be scheduled in advance through the consular section.
