Overview
The Embassy of Croatia in Rome is Croatia's diplomatic mission to Italy, processing visa applications for Italian residents, providing consular services to Croatian nationals, and supporting the substantial cross-Adriatic tourism relationship between the two countries.
Visa Services
Since January 1, 2023, Croatia has been a full member of the Schengen area. Italian citizens and all EU/EEA/Swiss citizens can enter with a valid ID card or passport, with no limit on length of stay. Citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and many other countries can enter visa-free for tourist or business stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Travellers needing a Schengen visa apply at a Croatian embassy or consulate (or that of any other Schengen country), with a completed application form, photo, itinerary, accommodation booking, travel insurance covering at least 30,000 euros, and proof of financial means.
Consular Services
The embassy provides passport and travel document services, civil registration, document attestation and legalization, and emergency consular assistance for Croatian nationals in Italy.
Trade & Export Support
Italy is one of the largest source markets for tourism to Croatia's Adriatic coast, with extensive ferry and cruise links connecting Italian ports to Croatian destinations, alongside broader trade across manufacturing and agriculture. The embassy's economic section supports bilateral trade promotion and business matchmaking between Croatian and Italian companies.
