All Indian citizens must apply for a Croatia visa, whether planning a vacation, business or social visit. However, the subsequent wait for visa approval can be stressful, leaving you unsure of the outcome and disrupting your travel plans.
To streamline this process, we have developed a convenient tool: the Atlys Croatia visa status tracker. This tool allows you to check your visa application’s progress in real-time, providing instant updates from anywhere, anytime.
How do I track Croatia visa status online from India?
Steps to check Croatia visa application status online using the Atlys tool:
Step 1: Enter your details
Enter the reference number (provided upon submitting the visa application) and your last name.
Step 2: Submit the details
Click the ‘Check Status’ button to view your application status. The result will show one of the following:
Approved: Your visa application has been approved.
In Process: Your visa application is currently being processed.
Rejected: Your application has been rejected by the Croatian visa authorities.

Why use the Atlys Croatia visa status tracking tool?

How will I receive my Croatia visa once it is approved?
Once your visa application is approved, the Croatia visa will be placed as a sticker inside your passport.
You will be notified of the visa decision via mail or SMS, after which you can collect the passport from the Visa Application Centre (VAC) or have it delivered to your doorstep (if you opt for a courier service).
What should I do if my Croatia visa application is rejected?
If your Croatia visa application is rejected, you will receive a letter mentioning the reasons for the decision. You may reapply for the visa after addressing the rejection reason(s) provided.
Here are the common reasons for a Croatia visa rejection:
Incomplete documentation: Missing essential documents or failing to provide accurate information can lead to rejection.
Unclear purpose of visit: If the purpose of your visit is not clearly defined or insufficiently justified, your application may be declined.
Travel history concerns: A lack of travel history or previous visa violations often raises red flags about visa compliance.
Criminal record: A history of criminal activity can significantly impact the approval of your visa application.
Alternatively, if you are unsatisfied with the outcome, you can submit a written appeal within 15 days of receiving the rejection notification.

What information do I need to check the Croatia visa status online?

Note: Your reference number is mentioned on the invoice/receipt issued by the visa application centre upon submitting the application.
Can I check my Croatia visa status using my passport number?
No, a Croatia visa check by passport number is currently not possible. You will need your reference number and last name to check the visa status.
Can I check my Croatia visa status offline?

My Croatia visa status is still showing as "in process." What should I do?
Typically, the processing time for a Croatia Schengen visa is around 15 days, although this can vary based on individual cases. In certain situations, embassies may require up to 30 days to process a visa.
However, if your Croatia visa status still shows "in process" beyond the estimated processing time, consider the following steps:
Check your mail inbox: Check the inbox and spam folder of the email address you provided at the time of application to ensure that you haven’t missed any updates.
Contact the VAC: You can also contact the Croatia visa application centre where you submitted your application. They can provide updates and clarify any issues.
Seek professional assistance: If you encounter complex issues or have concerns about your application, consider consulting a visa expert for guidance.
