Is Croatia in Schengen and does it use the euro?

Croatia has been an EU member since 2013 and took two big further steps in January 2023: it joined the Schengen area, removing internal-border checks with the rest of Schengen, and it adopted the euro as its currency. For travellers this means a Croatian short-stay visa and your time in Croatia count within the wider Schengen 90-days-in-180 rule, and all official fees and income thresholds for residence permits are now set in euros. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens continue to enjoy free movement and don't need the residence permits described here.
