Why We Love Croatia…

We love the buzz and vibrancy of Croatia’s towns and cities, paired with the relaxed nature of their islands.

Entry Requirements

Visas

British and American tourists don’t need a visa for entry to Croatia.

Your passport must be:

– Issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)

– Valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date.

Please check out your local travel advice and let us know if you’re travelling from a different territory.
