New Zealand
The Croatian foreign ministry’s listing places New Zealand within the consular area of the embassy in Canberra. The embassy holds consular days in New Zealand, most recently in Auckland (10–12 July 2026) and Wellington (13 July 2026). Citizenship applications and first-time passport applications were accepted, by appointment only, booked by emailing a registration form to the embassy. New Zealand enquiries go to crocons.auckland@mvep.hr.
In 2015 the ministry appointed honorary consuls for the North Island (based in Auckland) and the South Island (based in Nelson). The notice gives no contact details, so contact the embassy first.
Applying from New Zealand? Our guide for New Zealanders covers documents, apostilles and costs.
Honorary consulates
The honorary consulates in Adelaide and Cairns open by prior appointment. Citizenship applications from South Australia are lodged with the consulate general in Melbourne, and from Queensland with the consulate general in Sydney.
Before you go
- Book first: the offices see clients by appointment, and opening hours for clients are shorter than office hours.
- Take originals of every document, with apostilles and translations, and your passport. The document checklist lists them.
- Expect to pay the consular fee when you lodge; it is not refundable.
- Details change. Check the office’s own page or call before you travel.
