Foreign citizens in the Republic of Croatia

Visa issuance at border crossing points

A visa application can also be submitted at a border crossing point

Exceptionally, if a foreign national could not submit a visa application, the competent police station at the state border may issue a short-term visa: for stay of up to 15 days, for the purpose of transit or to a sailor for the purpose of transit.  

If the visa is issued by a police station competent for border control, the application is charged EUR 60 (HRK 452,07) in the HRK equivalent, according to the mean exchange rate of the Croatian National Bank as at payment date, and in case of need for this, the foreign national should provide documents proving they have an unpredictable and urgent need to enter Croatia.
