Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Croatia immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

The Vietnamese passport ranks #161 worldwide, opening 52 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (23 visa-free, 25 with a visa on arrival and 4 with an eTA). Croatia is not among them — it is one of the 100 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.

Southeast Europe is closed to spontaneous travel for Vietnamese passport holders: none of its 9 destinations can be entered without an application first.
