Croatia visa for Egyptian 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 Egypt, with its embassy in Cairo.

In 2025, Croatia’s embassy and consulates in Egypt (Cairo) received 1,489 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 816. 42.7% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 35.3%: the rate rose by 7.4 points, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 40% compared with 2024 (1,067).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 24.2% of the applications lodged in Egypt that year, from 4.4% at the consulates of Romania to 50.9% at those of Sweden. Croatia’s consulates worldwide refused 18.5%. Croatia was the 19th most applied-for Schengen state in Egypt.

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 Egypt, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
