CROATIA
An alien who submits the request for issuing a visa in a diplomatic mission, i.e. in a consular office of the Republic of Croatia or some other country with which the Republic of Croatia concluded a contract on representation in issuing visas, is obliged to show that he has enough means for subsistence during his stay in the Republic of Croatia and for the return to the country from which he originates or for travelling to the third country.
When entering the Republic of Croatia, the authority competent for the control of crossings of the State border is authorised to require from the alien to present means for subsistence during his stay in the Republic of Croatia and for the return to the country from where he came or for the travel to the third country.
The amount of means under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article is the counter value of EUR 100 (in letters: one hundred euros) per day of his planned stay in the Republic of Croatia.
If an alien possesses a certified guarantee letter of a physical or legal entity from the Republic of Croatia, a proof of paid travel arrangement or similar document, he is obliged to present a proof of possession of means in counter value of EUR 50 (in letters: fifty euros) per day of his planned stay in the Republic of Croatia.
