The Croatian embassy that covers Bangladesh is in New Delhi (A-15 West End, New Delhi 110021). Its page says it covers Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka, and it receives clients Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 12:00 ¹. The Croatian foreign ministry also lists an honorary consulate in Dhaka, run by Honorary Consul Mr. Kazi Nabil at House 44, Road 16 (Old 27), Dhanmondi, Dhaka 1209 ¹. The embassy page gives no visa information and points to konzularniportal.mvep.hr ¹.

The permit for students

The route for study is a temporary residence permit, applied for on Form 1a and issued as a biometric residence permit ². You submit the application in person at a Croatian diplomatic mission or consular office ². If you need a visa to enter, the ministry says you may exceptionally apply at a police administration or station in Croatia instead, but only when you come to study full-time at a higher education institution (undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate) ².

The ministry's page lists documents for temporary residence in general, not for study alone ²:

• the completed application and a colour photo, 35x45 mm
• a copy of a travel document valid at least three months longer than the permit period
• proof of health insurance
• proof that the stay is justified, with study as the purpose
• proof that the consular or administrative fee was paid
• originals or certified copies, with foreign documents translated into Croatian, certified, and not older than six months

The page gives no fee amounts ². The permit is granted for up to one year, and extension requests go to the police administration no later than 60 days before it expires ². After arriving you must report your residence to the police within three days, and you give biometric data at the police after approval ².

Visa numbers for the New Delhi consulate

These figures are for Schengen short-stay visas (type C), all purposes and all nationalities, at Croatia's consulate in New Delhi. They are not student-permit figures and not Bangladesh-only figures.

• 2025: 2,615 applied, 1,721 issued, 709 not issued ⁴. That is a not-issued share of about 27 percent (709 of 2,615).
• 2024: 2,315 applied, 1,676 issued, 606 not issued ⁵. That is about 26 percent (606 of 2,315).

If a visa is refused, you have the right to appeal and you may apply again at any time. The refusal letter explains the reasons ³. That ministry page covers other regions and does not mention Bangladesh ³.

How to check your application on CROVISA

CROVISA is Croatia's online visa application system, and it has a "PROVJERA statusa zahtjeva" page, meaning "check request status" ⁶. The official status page ⁷ asks for:

• Serial number: 7 characters ⁷.
• PIN: 5 characters ⁷.
• The security image (captcha) ⁷.

The serial number and PIN come from your online application ⁷. The CROVISA page says you need them to resume an application ⁶. The ministry's temporary residence page names no status-check method, so ask the embassy if your case went by paper ².

What you may see:

• "Neispravan captcha kod" means you typed the security image wrongly. Try again ⁷.
• A message saying the request does not exist or was not found means the system has no match. Check the serial number and PIN against your form ⁷.
• For any other reply, if the wording is not clearly an approval or a refusal, ask the embassy.

The embassy's phone numbers are 0091 11 4166 3101-3103, and its email is croemb.new-delhi@mvep.hr ¹.

Have your 7-character serial number and 5-character PIN ready for the status check on this page.
