🇭🇷Croatia Visa
Croatian travel on an ordinary (burgundy) Turkish passport requires a visa, and since Croatia is part of the Schengen area, that application falls under the Schengen rules. The visa lets you stay up to 90 days within any 180-day window, plenty of time to wander Dubrovnik's old walls and the wider Adriatic coast.
Ordinary (Burgundy)
Croatia joins Schengen in 2023. Ordinary (burgundy) passport holders must obtain a Schengen visa. Application is made through VFS Global or iData. If you have an existing Schengen visa, you do not need to get an additional Croatian visa.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Turkish citizens visit Croatia without a visa?
Holders of the ordinary burgundy passport cannot. Because Croatia is a Schengen member, you'll need a Schengen visa. Green (special), grey (service) and diplomatic passport holders, on the other hand, enter visa-free for up to 90 days.
How do you apply for a Croatian visa?
Book an appointment under the Schengen category and put together your file: passport, biometric photo, travel health insurance, plus your accommodation and round-trip details. Since appointment and processing times shift with demand, confirm the current steps and document list on the official application page at idata.com.tr.
What does the 90/180 rule actually mean?
A Schengen visa lets you stay a maximum of 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. Those 90 days can be a single trip or split across several entries; what matters is that, looking back over the last 180 days, the total never tops 90.
Which passports enter Croatia without a visa?
Green (special), grey (service) and black (diplomatic) passport holders enter Croatia visa-free and may stay up to 90 days. The visa requirement applies only to the ordinary burgundy passport.
