Australian Citizens in Croatia: Schengen 90/180 Rules (2026)
As a Australian Citizen, you do not need a visa for tourist or business trips to Croatia for up to 90 days within any 180-day rolling window.

€200 - €1,200How the 90/180-Day Rolling Window Works
The 90/180-day rule operates on a rolling backward window. Whenever you enter or stay in Croatia, immigration authorities look back at the preceding 180 days. Every day spent in any of the 29 Schengen member states is combined into this single 90-day pool.
- Moving between Schengen states does NOT reset your allowance: Days in Spain, France, Germany, or Croatia all count toward the same 90 days.
- Passport Validity: Valid at least 3 months beyond planned exit date from the Schengen territory.
