🇰🇷South Korea🇭🇷CroatiaKR-HR South Korea to Croatia visa requirements
No visa needed. South Korean ordinary passport holders can enter Croatia visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, because Croatia is in the Schengen Area and South Korea is on the EU visa-exempt list. Croatia has been a full member of the Schengen Area since 1 January 2023, so entry rules follow the common Schengen short-stay policy. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) is on the EU/Schengen visa-exempt list, meaning ordinary passport holders may travel for tourism, business, family visits and transit without any visa for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. This 90-day allowance is cumulative across the entire Schengen Area, not Croatia alone. As of 1 June 2026, no advance online authorization is required: the EU's ETIAS travel-authorization system is not yet operational and is expected to launch in the last quarter of 2026 (with a transitional grace period after that). Once ETIAS is live, visa-exempt travelers including South Koreans will need a low-cost online authorization before travel, but it remains an authorization rather than a visa. Travelers should carry a passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date, proof of onward/return travel, accommodation details, and evidence of sufficient funds. Border officers retain discretion to ask for these at entry.
