What Croatia may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

  • Passport valid 3+ months beyond stay with 2 blank pages
  • Proof of funds: minimum 70 EUR per day of stay
  • Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
  • Hotel booking or accommodation confirmation
  • Travel insurance with 30,000 EUR medical coverage
