FAMILY MEMBERS OF EU/EEA CITIZEN

Family members of citizens of European Union or European Economic Area Member States, who are nationals of third countries, are entitled to free movement in accordance with Directive 2004/38/EC of 29 April 2004, which the Republic of Croatia transferred into her national legislation.

A family member of citizen of European Union or European Economic Area Member States can travel without a visa to Croatia if he has a valid passport and a valid identification card called "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen", and if he travels with or joins the family member who is citizen of European Union or EEA Member State.

If a family member of EU or EEA Member State citizen does not have such card, he needs a Croatian visa.
