Hello guys,

As there is no thread for Croatian Visit/Tourist Visa in nairaland, i have decided to convert this thread for the purpose of gathering information about Croatian Visit/Tourist Visa.

I and my family was granted 14 days visa each and we spent 10 days in the very beautiful Zagreb city. What a beautiful clean country. We did not experience any form of racism. Croatians are so friendly and accommodating. They love what is called "Enjoyment" . Their official currency is called "Kuna". However, you will still be able to pay in Euros for certain items such as accommodation, transportation and some restaurants. The country is currently at the final stage of becoming Schengen member state.

There is a Nigerian restaurant there called African Cuisine & Bar and the most shocking thing is that Croatians are their main customers... The way Croatians are eating Nigerian foods is really shocking..

Below are some of the pictures I took in Croatia (Zagreb)

CROATIA:

Croatia is a member of the European Union (EU)
Official languages: Croatian
Government: Parliamentary system
Population: 4.171 million

so why croatia?

You could have killed many birds with one stone by applying for a Schengen visa, then use it to enter either Croatia, Cyprus, all Schengen countries and other EU countries not in Schengen yet (e.g Romania, Bulgaria), not to even mention additional countries that grant entry to holders of Schengen visas.

enjoy your holiday. Croatia is truly beautiful
