Croatia joins in from this January 1, 2023 to the euro zone and the Schengen areaa change that brings many benefits, especially commercially, but also the challenge of having to control the Union’s external border.
The member states of the EU approved Croatia’s accession to the Schengen area on 8 December. The country that has been part of the EU since 2013 thus becomes the twenty-seventh member of the zone where you can move freely without border controls.
What is the Schengen Area?
It is the area of the European countries that have abolished border controls at common borders, also known as internal borders.

These are the 27 countries that form the Schengen area as of 1 January: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta , Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland.
