Croatian Mission in New York

Croatia admits US citizens without a visa for stays of up to 90 days.

2025 figures: 434 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Croatia’s office in New York, and 416 visas were issued. 8 applications were refused, a refusal rate of 1.9%. That is barely different from 2024 (1.3%). Applications rose by 9% compared with 2024 (399).

Over 2023–2025 the rate ranged from 0.4% (2023) to 1.9% (2025).

Croatia issues Schengen visas at 4 locations in the United States; this office handled 46% of their 944 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Los Angeles 4.9%, Chicago 0.8% and Washington D.C. 1.0%. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.

Across all Schengen consulates in the United States, 4.9% of applications were refused in 2025; Croatia’s rate worldwide was 18.5%. Croatia received the 18th largest number of applications of the 28 Schengen states represented here.

63.0% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of the United States.

For matters it cannot handle, the Croatian embassy in Washington D.C. (333 km) is responsible. Besides the Croatian mission in New York, Croatia has 1 other mission in the United States. The United States in turn has an embassy in Zagreb.
