Current Travel Situation
Vanuatu to Croatia: What You Need to Know
Croatia became a full Schengen member in January 2023 and adopted the Euro in the same year. Its stunning Adriatic coastline, historic Dubrovnik, and the Plitvice Lakes National Park make it a popular European destination. Vanuatu citizens benefit from visa-free access under Schengen arrangements.
How to Get There
Croatia neighbours Slovenia (Schengen), Bosnia (not Schengen), Montenegro (not Schengen), and Hungary (Schengen). All Schengen days share the 90-day allowance.
Money & Banking
Croatia uses the Euro (EUR) since January 2023. Cards are widely accepted. ATMs are available in cities, towns, and major tourist areas. Some smaller islands and markets prefer cash.
Practical Tips
Book Adriatic coastal accommodation well in advance for summer visits (June-August), as Croatia is extremely popular. Ferry connections run along the coast and to nearby islands. Dubrovnik is best explored in shoulder season (May or September) to avoid peak crowds.
