Visa-free entry to Australia for citizens of Croatia as of December 2025
ℹ Гражданам Хорватии не нужна виза для поездки в Австралии. Максимальная длительность пребывания для граждан Хорватии на территории Австралии 90 days дней. Важно! 90 days on each visit in 12-month period if granted The European Commission ruled that the eVisitor's 'autogrant' treatment is not an equivalent to the Schengen visa application procedures. However, only countries which are on ETA list are considered low risk and processing time is one working day. For all other countries processing time is 31 days (75% of applications), and 4 months (90% of applications).[13] Applications for high risk countries, i.e. not ETA, are routinely processed manually rather than via 'autogrant' and they are subject to additional documents prior to arrival, which is typical for a proper visa.[14] Grant rate for eVisitor countries like Croatia is less than 100%, which indicates manual processing.[15] Additionally, Australia's SmartGate entry system for automatically processing through passport control can only be used for countries on ETA list, not by countries on eVisitor list - although trials are underway to enable the use for all EU passports.[16]
