Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need travel insurance to go to Croatia?

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for Indian travellers applying for a Schengen visa to Croatia. Your policy must cover at least €30,000 for medical emergencies and be valid across the Schengen area. Apart from the mandatory requirements, a travel insurance plan ensures you are financially covered for uncertainties arising during your trip.

Is Croatia visa-free for Indians?

No, Croatia is not visa-free for Indian citizens. You need a valid Schengen visa for short stays. However, if you already hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa, you can enter Croatia without applying separately.

Is pregnancy covered by travel insurance?

Most travel insurance plans cover complications arising from pregnancy. But these plans are not meant for routine check-ups or childbirth on your trip. It’s important to check the policy details and coverage limits before purchasing.

Is healthcare free in Croatia?

Healthcare in Croatia is not free for tourists. Medical services can be expensive without insurance, which is why having travel insurance with adequate medical coverage is highly recommended.

How much is travel insurance for Croatia?

The cost depends on your trip duration, age, and coverage. For Indian travellers, plans typically start from a few hundred rupees for short trips. Comprehensive plans with higher coverage and add-ons may cost more but offer better protection. Our plans start at just ₹401*, making comprehensive coverage accessible to all.

What is the unspoken rule in Croatia?

Respect local culture and public spaces. Dress modestly in churches, avoid loud behaviour in historic areas like Dubrovnik, and always greet locals politely—it goes a long way in enhancing your travel experience.

Is 1000 euros enough for a month in Croatia?

It can be challenging, but possible with strict budgeting. Opt for hostels, cook your meals, use public transport and plan your trip during the off-season. However, for a more comfortable experience, a higher budget is recommended.

What is the best time to buy travel insurance?

It’s best to buy travel insurance immediately after booking your trip. This ensures coverage for cancellations, delays, and other unforeseen events even before your journey begins.
