Croatia Visa
Schengen tourist • business • seasonal work
Visa overview
Croatia joined the Schengen Area in 2023, so its visa now allows travel across the whole area. It is known for the Adriatic coast and for seasonal work in tourism and construction; work files require a residence and work permit issued by the Croatian Ministry of the Interior.

RMDS provides an appointment ALERT service only: we notify you when potential availability is detected. We do not book, do not access your account or the customer portal, do not bypass any protection (CAPTCHA), do not submit appointment requests, do not pay appointment fees and do not guarantee availability. RMDS represents no VFS, TLS or BLS centre, embassy or consulate.
Site reachable ≠ appointment available: an appointment alert is only sent on an actual availability signal.
This service only sends alerts when potential appointment availability is detected. It does not include booking and does not guarantee that the slot will still be available when you access the official platform. Booking remains the customer's responsibility.

Frequently asked questions
Can I do seasonal work in Croatia on a tourist visa?
No. Work requires a residence and work permit; working on a tourist visa risks deportation and a Schengen ban.
Can you guarantee the visa?
No. The decision belongs solely to the consulate. Our role is to help you prepare an organized, complete application based on the requirements published by the competent authorities.
What happens if I am refused?
We analyse the stated grounds for refusal with you and prepare either an appeal or a new file addressing the weak points.
How long does file preparation take?
5 to 10 days for a tourist file.
