Travel Advisory

Travel Advisory for the Republic of Croatia


If you are going to visit or live in Croatia, please take the time to tell our Embassy about your trip. If you enroll, we can keep you up to date with important safety and security announcements. Your enrollment will also help your friends and family get in touch with you in an emergency.

Entry Requirements: Malaysian citizens do not need visa to enter Croatia if they are coming for tourist or business trips of fewer than 90 days within a six-month period.

All foreign citizens must register with the local police within 24 hours of arrival and inform them of any change in their address. If you are staying in a hotel or in accommodations rented through an accommodation company, the hotelier or accommodation company will register you automatically. Failure to register is a misdemeanor offense and one can be fined if not doing so.

Crime: Violent crime is rare. However, foreign tourists do appear to be singled out by petty criminals. We advise you to safeguard your belongings in public areas, especially in bus or railroad stations, airports, and gas stations, and on public transportation. As in many countries, outward displays of wealth may increase your chances of being targeted by thieves.

While violent crime is rare, but there could be isolated attacks. We urge Malaysian citizens to avoid going to so-called "gentlemen's clubs;" a few such establishments have presented foreign customers with grossly inflated bar bills, sometimes in the thousands of ringgits, and threatened those customers who refuse to pay.

Medical Facilities And Health Information: In case you have been medically treated at Croatian health care facilities, doctors and hospitals usually expect immediate cash payment for health services and generally will not accept credit cards.

Payments: Most of the shops and restaurants in Croatia will accept credit card payment, although coffee bars, sellers at market places and fast food restaurants would prefer chash payment only.
