Timor-Leste citizens can enter Croatia without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Timor-Leste passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Croatia applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Croatia lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Timor-Leste citizens are treated the same way as Brunei, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan and Macau. Overall the Timor-Leste passport ranks #99 in the world with 56 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a Timor-Leste passport you can also visit 38 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Switzerland and Cyprus.
In the other direction, Croatia citizens can visit Timor-Leste visa-free for up to 90 days.

Non-EU travellers arriving at a Schengen border crossing point for the first time since the EU Entry/Exit System started have a photo of their face taken and/or their fingerprints scanned. The UK government says you do not need to take any action before you arrive at the border, and that there is no cost for EES registration; the EU says the process can be quicker if you register some data in advance at self-service equipment or in a mobile app, where available.

A third-country national who is not on a short stay and has no valid temporary, long-term or permanent residence permission is staying illegally and must leave Croatia without delay.
