INFORMATION SESSION
 
On Saturday 15 February 2025 at 9:30 there will be an information session regarding the implementation of the ETIAS system which is planned to come into force later this year. This system will require all foreign citizens that do not need a visa to travel to Croatia/EU (including New Zealand citizens) to acquire a travel authorization prior to travel to the EU - similar to what Croatian citizens have to acquire to travel to New Zealand.
 
The system might affect Croatian citizens that intend to travel to Croatia on foreign passports, and also those that have different names in different identity documents i.e. different names in Croatian and foreign passport.
