British citizens visiting Croatia for periods of less than three months do not require a visa for tourist or business trips. However, a visa may be required for other types of visit or stay.

Unless staying at a hotel or official tourist accommodation, all foreign citizens are required to register with the local police within 48 hours of arrival. You can register at the nearest police station or at the town tourist agency (if in Zagreb, at the 1st Police station, Stroosmayerov Trg 3- in the city centre, near the main square).

Failure to do so may result in a fine or possible removal from Croatia (which may include a restriction on your ability to return to Croatia for a certain period).
