The electronic visa facilitates short-term visits for purposes such as tourism or family reunions. It is a digital alternative to visiting a consulate. Croatian travellers can track their application status online once the request has been finalised. The system ensures that all preliminary checks are completed before the traveller arrives.
A successful application requires the upload of a recent passport-style photograph and a scan of the Croatian passport's main page. The photograph must be clear, with the face centered. The passport scan must include the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the page to allow for automated data verification.

The process involves navigating a series of digital forms where details about your identity and your travel plans are recorded. It is designed to be straightforward, provided that you have all your information to hand. All data submitted is treated as a formal declaration to the Namibian immigration authorities. More information on the programme goals is available for review.
Processing times are subject to change and depend on the current workload of the reviewing officers. It is recommended not to finalise non-refundable travel arrangements until the e-Visa is secured. Both government and service fees apply to every application and are used to cover the administrative costs of the digital platform.
Every detail on the electronic form must match the Croatian passport exactly. Differences in the spelling of names or errors in the passport number can lead to significant complications. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify all information before the final submission.
Applications are processed individually. Every member of a group must submit their own request and pay the relevant fees.
You must renew your passport before applying if it has less than six months of validity remaining.
