Croatia Relaxes Visa Rules


Angela Hager

During this summer (2010), Croatia will allow citizens from Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakhstan to enter into Croatia without a visa. They will also be allowed to stay for 90 days. This is a part of Croatia's "Anti-Crisis measures" to help stimulate the economy.

This is not the first time Croatia has done this. Last summer, Croatia allowed Russians Visa-free tourist packages. The tourist sector of the economy had an 11% decline in 2009.

Turkey has already seen results with a looser visa regime, and saw a 7% growth in tourism. Turkey has visa relaxations with Syria, Libya, Lebanon and Jordan.
