Russian citizens will be able to travel to Croatia without visas for no longer than 90 days as the visa-free rules enter into force on Thursday (April 1st). No-visa regime will be effective until October 31st 2010.

Croatia’s government made this decision on February 25, 2010.

“During this period Russian citizens will be able to go to Croatia on short-term trips for no more than 90 days and not to show visas, tourist vouchers, invitations or any letters of guarantee on Croatia’s state border,” a Russian foreign ministry official said.

“It will be enough to have a valid foreign passport and necessary funds for stay in the country,” the official said.

At the same time, those who would like to go to work or to do business in Croatia should apply for a visa.
