I am a studying and working here in Zagreb, Thats interesting wow see you missed the beauty of the whole croatian coast and its people anyway its pretty been a great place i have been living here for around 2 years now and people here are quite great and warm, but never been to spain planned a trip with a friend to malaga for a carnival there last summer but we couldnt make it

Always wanted to visit Croatia, the coast and the women are fiiiine!

Thought it would be full of racists though.

@mr moaka add me on @bout coming to play football in croatia well there is the possibility as i have so many friends who are footballers here playing with dinamo but nt forgeting croatians also play great the best thing is to get a try out first and someine who would put u through. @ suprted well yeah croatia is very beautiful and one of the safest countries on earth about the gals huh way to pretty. but rascim here has not been something different from anywere in europe

hw far buraz, are u saying there is a bit of racism there? pls be clear on this. thnx

i would say the level of racism could be compared to possibly what you would have in germany or italy, but bare in mind its an individual thing it depends on you practically i would say racism here has only been with the young little kids who prtray the skinheads and nazi but are very very in active as there are anti racism laws which are very effective in croatia ffrom my own point of view i would say racism here can only be compared to a speech thing but not to an actively demonstrated level as you can have in the east or far russia, you can definately do whatever you want been a foreigner but bare in mind the countrys beaucracy is something i never experiemced before in my life croatia is a country that loves to much documentation that i can say i hate with passion

thnx man, but pls, hw high is the acceptance chance into the skl for international students. i can see studies there is farely cheap. do u knw if all masters programs are conducted in english?. am just asking cos i feel u should knw better since u r a student there.

Huh mr abdullahi well thanks for your mail, well wherever you got the information on studying in croatia has been cheap i think that was a wrong move or advice studying in croatia has a foreigner is pretty expensive as much as you would pay in canada, america or in the uk, prior to your question definately they are english language courses for foreigners but it depends on your discussion with the faculty has lately there have been increased number of foreigners but not as much has you would have elsewhere, your best bet can be the university faculty of medicine, the economics faculty and probably the faculty of informatics i know they offer some masters courses in english and you depends you may be lucky getting a scholarship or a tuition waiver depending anything is possible but the best bet is discussing with the faculty directly they would direct you on what to do, as studying in croatia isnt an easy thing at all,

wow, thnx man. i will get to the department and communicate with them. thnx for ur help.

Hello, I came accross your discussion about croatia on nairaland, I'm planning on going to croatia and I want to ask a question about getting the visa, the Agent helping me get the visa says that they use disame process as Dubai which is Cable Visa(e-Visa) that once its ready they'll send me the visa once its ready to my email and we'll confirm it on the internet..please tell me what you know about this and how you obtained your own visa in nigeria befor you left for croatia, did you attend any interview in any embassy, and where's in Nigeria is their embassy.

ahahahahhahahahahahahahaa I got your message this is the most funniest thing i have read so far listen up croatia as a country has nothing called a cable visa it doesnt exist you would go to their embassy do an interview and then over convince them of your reasons in living in croatia which the chances are 10% that you would get it if either you are not a student or dont have a croatian family. listen up croatian visa is one of the most complicated and difficult to get in the whole world they have quotas yearly and they dont even reach the quota before they stop giving visa. secondly for your information croatia has no embassy in Nigeria and you would only be required to go to egypt south africa or london as those are the nearest embassies of croatia which deals with west african nationals. so think twice which ever agent who told you this is only kicking your head

What if its a football club inviting the person, from what a friend of mine said his there now,its this proccess he got there through Cable visa.he gets interviewed at the airport I think and he has his documents.I think he was going there for a trial with one football club there

Listen if you dont still understand their is nothing such as a cable visa croatia has nothing of such as a footballer his agent or football club arranged the collection of visa for him i would once more advice you my dear friend not to try whatsoever plans of yours through an agent cause 100% of it is fake...here is the ministry of foreign affairs page. mvpei.hr i guess the page is also in english so you can get yourself informed dont try to overlook any informtion given cause its all taking seriously

@buraz!how did you secure secure ur visa? From where did you apply ?

Yes how did you secure yours

Sorry for the late reply...I got mine in the Uk

well i wont be able to give my email on a public site what ever you need to ask ask on here and i would try my best to answer you...Thanks

........

BiH you should know is a very bleeped up country anyway but the people are cool, very open and accomodating expect a lot of muslims quite similar to turkey.meanwhile the living standards yeah its not as good as compared to other countries cause the pay is low and people are very poor there so but life is cheap so its good coming in for one or 2 days for a good coffee and snack or skiing.

.......

yeah i cant be compared to croatia is a very much more developed country than bosnia nothing can be compared with croatia. but if you plan relocating to bosnia you shoudl put a couple of things in mind compare it to wht you plan and remember bosnians would also like to relocate from their own country cause sometimes could be a shit hole but if you are a muslim ou would enjoy it so dependss on what yur plans are would be visiting bosnia in 4 weeks

...

Apart from adria that attract tourist what is in croatia dry land, I dont want to generalise everybody in croatia honestly they are very racist and over proud to be geographical in europe i will never waist my time and money to travel inthere

@ charles86 dont cross the borders its just next to impossible due to the tight controls.@kennybuda what the heck do you know about croatia. well its your opinion and you are subject to it if you say croatians are racist what do you call germans french

Hello I got an invitation from a club in croatia
And when I checked to apply to the embassy I found out there's no croatian embassy in nigeria but only in south africa

Now my question is , is it possible to send my visa application through courier directly from nigeria to the croatian emabassy in south africa for stamping or I have to travel to south africa myself??
