Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Original passport with two blank pages and extended validity | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Issued within ten years and with at least two empty pages. This scope already has validity at least three months beyond the requested visa expiry, satisfying the parent wording as well as the purpose PDF’s three months beyond scheduled return. No handwritten biodata changes are accepted. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Current and old passport/visa copies | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Copy current biodata/front and last pages, used pages and previous Schengen/valid visas as requested. Parent instructions include used pages from the last two old passports. If a previous Schengen visa was unused, provide the requested explanation letter; do not invent travel stamps. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Completed and signed C-visa form and personal submission | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Use the current CROVISA C-visa application and follow English/Croatian form instructions. Sign the application and purpose checklist acknowledgement and attend personally. No portal security challenge is bypassed or completed on the applicant’s behalf. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: One 35 by 45 mm purpose-checklist photo; confirm whether two are required | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The current linked purpose PDF asks for one recent white-background colour photograph, 35 by 45 mm, within six months; parent prose says two. This scope uses a photograph taken within three months to also satisfy older mission age wording. Confirm count with VFS; no paid photo service is mandatory. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Personal explanation of purpose, occupation and expense coverage | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Explain the actual purpose, dates, occupation, who pays each cost and the complete itinerary. Croatia must be the sole/main Schengen destination. Conference scope covers ordinary business-conference attendance only, excluding work or professional duties even unpaid. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Already issued natural-person guarantee, original with Croatian notary certification | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide the actual completed guarantee already signed and certified by a Croatian public notary for this applicant and visit. The national rule certifies the natural-person guarantor’s signature; it is not a universal certification of every supporting document. Enclose the original with the application and keep a copy for the border. This guide uses enclosed-original submission, not the separate optional MFA-storage process. No Indian-notary equivalence, automatic apostille or universal guarantee issue-age is established. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Actual cost selections and guarantor’s continuing undertaking | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The completed form must accurately state who pays accommodation, subsistence and transport. This scope uses the Croatian friend’s owned home for lodging while applicant trip/subsistence costs follow the actual form. Even where the applicant pays, the signed form retains the guarantor’s undertaking to cover stay, subsistence and removal costs if necessary. It is not a no-liability purpose invitation. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Original three-month applicant bank statements, stamped and signed | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide movements in the applicant’s own account for the last three months, duly stamped and signed by an authorised bank official. Keep applicant evidence even with the guarantee; this guide does not invoke the parent’s possible full-expense-guarantee financial exemption. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Three years of applicant tax returns | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The actual current India private/business purpose PDF lists the last three years of ITR. Retain three years for this stated scope; do not silently substitute the generic two-assessment-year list. No blanket notarisation or apostille is inferred. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: International credit card copy and three-month statements | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. This scope already holds an international credit card and the last three months of its statements, as listed in the current India parent funds section. These are retained in addition to bank/tax evidence; no waiver is assumed. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Foreign-exchange purchase proof or passport endorsement | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Retain the forex purchase receipt or relevant passport endorsement requested in the parent funds section. This scope already holds that evidence; it does not claim a no-forex exception or recommend a provider. |
| India to Croatia: nonrelative friend visit with a notarised Croatian guarantee: Employer letter and three months of salary evidence | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide employer evidence on official letterhead establishing position, years of service, approved leave and the last three months of salary evidence. Include the business PDF’s last three salary slips for conference applicants. These remain additional to personal bank and tax records. |
