Visas

Schengen, 90 in 180

Croatia applies the Schengen rules in full since 1 January 2023. Third-country nationals, with or without a visa, may stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Time in Croatia adds to time in other Schengen states. Check the rules for your passport.

Registering a stay

Mooring services register you

A business that provides mooring in a nautical tourism port registers a third-country national within one day of arrival, if the person first arrived on the vessel where they stay. Seafarers registered as crew on a foreign-flag ship do not have to register for a short stay. Check the rules for your passport.

Departure

The crew list

Before the vessel leaves, the master passes border control if required and certifies the list of crew and passengers at the Harbourmaster's office or branch office. Check the rules for your passport.
