The Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in New Delhi processes tourist visa applications for residents of all of India. Submit your application at the VFS Global Chennai centre — the primary application centre for Tamil Nadu and surrounding regions.
Note: While the Croatian Embassy in New Delhi holds jurisdiction over all of India, applicants from South India typically use the Chennai VAC for convenience. Always confirm your applicable centre on visa.vfsglobal.com before booking your appointment.
★ Gold services are optional paid add-ons. They do not affect visa decision speed or approval outcome.
