Croatia visa for Algerian citizens

For the tourist visa, Croatia’s official sources give a standard fee of €90, and applications are made on crovisa.mvep.hr. Processing time, as Croatia states it: As a rule within 15 calendar days of lodging; up to 45 days if further checks are needed. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period, counted together with all other Schengen states.

Croatia has 1 mission in Algeria, with its embassy in Algiers.

In 2025, Croatia’s embassy and consulates in Algeria (Algiers) received 363 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 85. 76.5% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 75.2%. Applications rose by 29% compared with 2024 (282).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 31.3% of the applications lodged in Algeria that year, from 27.5% at the consulates of Finland to 81.9% at those of Malta. Croatia’s consulates worldwide refused 18.5%. Croatia was the 18th most applied-for Schengen state in Algeria.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Algeria, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Algeria to Croatia, the published travel advice reads as follows: the US State Department rates Croatia at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 17 May 2026), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Croatia (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Croatia (updated 13 October 2026). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
