VISA TYPES

Before applying, please ensure you are very clear on your ‘purpose of visit’ – do remember we are here to assist and help you through the entire visa application process but are not permitted to advise or guide you on choosing a visa category. Since our work is primarily administrative in nature, we have no say on whether you will be granted a visa and how long it will take to process your application, as this is entirely the prerogative of the Embassy of Croatia.

Short- term visa (Type C)

It is issued for one, two or more entries for transit, tourist, business, private or other purposes.

The validity period of a visa depends on the circumstances of traveling and cannot exceed five years.

  • Overview

    Since January 1, 2023, Croatia is a member of the Schengen area (Croatia issues Schengen visas valid for the Schengen area). Citizens of Mongolia who plan to visit Croatia are required to obtain a visa before departure. Foreign nationals residing in Mongolia should check whether they require a visa for Croatia .

    A visa allows foreign nationals to stay in Croatia or other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within any period of 180 days. Time spent in Croatia is added to the time spent in other Schengen countries. The Short-stay Visa Calculator of permitted stay can be used as a helping tool to calculate travel days remaining under a Schengen short-stay visa.

    If the traveller plans to visit more than one Schengen country during the course of one trip, the Schengen visa application must be submitted to the embassy or consulate of the country that is the applicant’s main destination based on the length or purpose of stay. If several Schengen area countries are visited but the main destination cannot be determined, the application must be submitted to the representative of the Schengen country that is the applicant’s first point of entry into the Schengen area.

    A Schengen visa contains information on the number of times its holder is allowed to enter the Schengen area (one, two, or multiple entries). If a visa is valid for only one entry and the holder leaves the Schengen area (for example to the UK, Montenegro, or Bosnia and Herzegovina), re-entry to the Schengen area is not possible without a new visa. It is therefore important that applicants state in their visa application how many times they will be travelling in and out of the Schengen area during their visit.

    Foreign nationals cannot work in Croatia on the basis of a short-term visa. Applicants may be required to attend a personal interview with a visa officer at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Beijing. Submitting a visa application, including all required documents, does not automatically mean that the visa will be issued. An issued visa is also not a guarantee that a foreign citizen will be permitted to enter the Republic of Croatia.

    At every border crossing, a border police officer may require foreign citizens to present all relevant documents, including copies of Letters of Guarantee for both private and business visits.

    If a visa is granted, it is the applicant's responsibility to check all details on the visa to ensure it covers the requested period of stay, the required number of entries, correct applicant details, and that it is valid for the purpose of the trip.

    Any falsification of documents or use of such documents may be subject to criminal prosecution.

Citizens of Mongolia who plan to visit Croatia are required to obtain a visa before departure. Foreign nationals residing in Mongolia should check whether they require a visa for Croatia .

    A visa allows foreign nationals to stay in Croatia or other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within any period of 180 days. Time spent in Croatia is added to the time spent in other Schengen countries. The Short-stay Visa Calculator of permitted stay can be used as a helping tool to calculate travel days remaining under a Schengen short-stay visa.

    If the traveller plans to visit more than one Schengen country during the course of one trip, the Schengen visa application must be submitted to the embassy or consulate of the country that is the applicant’s main destination based on the length or purpose of stay. If several Schengen area countries are visited but the main destination cannot be determined, the application must be submitted to the representative of the Schengen country that is the applicant’s first point of entry into the Schengen area.

    A Schengen visa contains information on the number of times its holder is allowed to enter the Schengen area (one, two, or multiple entries). If a visa is valid for only one entry and the holder leaves the Schengen area (for example to the UK, Montenegro, or Bosnia and Herzegovina), re-entry to the Schengen area is not possible without a new visa. It is therefore important that applicants state in their visa application how many times they will be travelling in and out of the Schengen area during their visit.

    Foreign nationals cannot work in Croatia on the basis of a short-term visa. Applicants may be required to attend a personal interview with a visa officer at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Beijing. Submitting a visa application, including all required documents, does not automatically mean that the visa will be issued. An issued visa is also not a guarantee that a foreign citizen will be permitted to enter the Republic of Croatia.

    At every border crossing, a border police officer may require foreign citizens to present all relevant documents, including copies of Letters of Guarantee for both private and business visits.

    If a visa is granted, it is the applicant's responsibility to check all details on the visa to ensure it covers the requested period of stay, the required number of entries, correct applicant details, and that it is valid for the purpose of the trip.

    Any falsification of documents or use of such documents may be subject to criminal prosecution.

  • Overview

    Since January 1, 2023, Croatia is a member of the Schengen area (Croatia issues Schengen visas valid for the Schengen area). Citizens of Mongolia who plan to visit Croatia are required to obtain a visa before departure. Foreign nationals residing in Mongolia should check whether they require a visa for Croatia .

    A visa allows foreign nationals to stay in Croatia or other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within any period of 180 days. Time spent in Croatia is added to the time spent in other Schengen countries. The Short-stay Visa Calculator of permitted stay can be used as a helping tool to calculate travel days remaining under a Schengen short-stay visa.

    If the traveller plans to visit more than one Schengen country during the course of one trip, the Schengen visa application must be submitted to the embassy or consulate of the country that is the applicant’s main destination based on the length or purpose of stay. If several Schengen area countries are visited but the main destination cannot be determined, the application must be submitted to the representative of the Schengen country that is the applicant’s first point of entry into the Schengen area.

    A Schengen visa contains information on the number of times its holder is allowed to enter the Schengen area (one, two, or multiple entries). If a visa is valid for only one entry and the holder leaves the Schengen area (for example to the UK, Montenegro, or Bosnia and Herzegovina), re-entry to the Schengen area is not possible without a new visa. It is therefore important that applicants state in their visa application how many times they will be travelling in and out of the Schengen area during their visit.

    Foreign nationals cannot work in Croatia on the basis of a short-term visa. Applicants may be required to attend a personal interview with a visa officer at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Beijing. Submitting a visa application, including all required documents, does not automatically mean that the visa will be issued. An issued visa is also not a guarantee that a foreign citizen will be permitted to enter the Republic of Croatia.

    At every border crossing, a border police officer may require foreign citizens to present all relevant documents, including copies of Letters of Guarantee for both private and business visits.

    If a visa is granted, it is the applicant's responsibility to check all details on the visa to ensure it covers the requested period of stay, the required number of entries, correct applicant details, and that it is valid for the purpose of the trip.

    Any falsification of documents or use of such documents may be subject to criminal prosecution.

  • Overview

    Since January 1, 2023, Croatia is a member of the Schengen area (Croatia issues Schengen visas valid for the Schengen area). Citizens of Mongolia who plan to visit Croatia are required to obtain a visa before departure. Foreign nationals residing in Mongolia should check whether they require a visa for Croatia .

    A visa allows foreign nationals to stay in Croatia or other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within any period of 180 days. Time spent in Croatia is added to the time spent in other Schengen countries. The Short-stay Visa Calculator of permitted stay can be used as a helping tool to calculate travel days remaining under a Schengen short-stay visa.

    If the traveller plans to visit more than one Schengen country during the course of one trip, the Schengen visa application must be submitted to the embassy or consulate of the country that is the applicant’s main destination based on the length or purpose of stay. If several Schengen area countries are visited but the main destination cannot be determined, the application must be submitted to the representative of the Schengen country that is the applicant’s first point of entry into the Schengen area.

    A Schengen visa contains information on the number of times its holder is allowed to enter the Schengen area (one, two, or multiple entries). If a visa is valid for only one entry and the holder leaves the Schengen area (for example to the UK, Montenegro, or Bosnia and Herzegovina), re-entry to the Schengen area is not possible without a new visa. It is therefore important that applicants state in their visa application how many times they will be travelling in and out of the Schengen area during their visit.

    Foreign nationals cannot work in Croatia on the basis of a short-term visa. Applicants may be required to attend a personal interview with a visa officer at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Beijing. Submitting a visa application, including all required documents, does not automatically mean that the visa will be issued. An issued visa is also not a guarantee that a foreign citizen will be permitted to enter the Republic of Croatia.

    At every border crossing, a border police officer may require foreign citizens to present all relevant documents, including copies of Letters of Guarantee for both private and business visits.

    If a visa is granted, it is the applicant's responsibility to check all details on the visa to ensure it covers the requested period of stay, the required number of entries, correct applicant details, and that it is valid for the purpose of the trip.

    Any falsification of documents or use of such documents may be subject to criminal prosecution.
