Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders enter Croatia with no border checks. Croatia joined the Schengen area in January 2023, so flights from Spain no longer have passport control on arrival. A valid Spanish national ID card or passport is sufficient. No visa or advance paperwork is required.

Croatia is also an EU member since 2013, so Spanish citizens have full rights to live and work there without a permit. For stays longer than 3 months, register at the local police station (policijska postaja) for a temporary stay certificate. Bring your ID, proof of accommodation, and evidence of employment or funds. The certificate is issued within a few days and is free for EU citizens. Croatia adopted the euro in January 2023, so no currency exchange is needed when traveling from Spain.
