1. In Frankfurt, you will definitely pass through passport control, since Croatia is only joining the EU on July 1st.
2. The Hovats will certainly have questions, since it is possible to enter Croatia on a Schengen visa if a person has already entered Schengen once on this visa, but it is impossible to enter Croatia on this visa for the first time.

as I understand it, you fly through Frankfurt in transit and you don’t have to go beyond the airport. that is, there will be only customs control.
if you open the Italian Schengen, then it is advisable to enter Europe through Italy and fly out from there.
why don't you want to open a Croatian visa?

Because I live in Yekaterinburg(((((And this means that you need to fly to Moscow at least once (to pick up the docks)(((((...But, it turns out, I fly into Germany through the Schengen ??? Maybe there will still be border control and I will get a visa????

yes, transit through Frankfurt ... I don’t know if there will be customs there or not ... In theory, it’s unlikely ... When I flew to Singapore through Helsinki, there were no customs

Masha, that's not the point.
It is necessary to ENTER the Schengen and LEAVE the Schengen back home, and then Croatia is open for you.

Well, I can advise the option of opening a Croatian visa through a travel agency. then you don't need to go to Moscow.
you will have 100% customs control. but it's not a passport. passport will be only if you decide to leave the airport.
the maximum that awaits you in Frankfurt is travel by internal train from one terminal to another, depending on which one you arrive in and which you depart from. I myself was at Frankfurt Airport, I know what I'm saying))

That's the thing and the trick is that when moving between terminals, there will definitely be control. Usually from NOT the European Union they arrive at terminal 2, these are gates E, D.
http://www.frankfurt-airport.com/content/frankfurt_airport/en/directions/airport_maps1/terminal_1_2.html
If the flight to Croatia is also from terminal 2, then maybe when entering the building they will immediately be sent to the transit zone (there will be airport employees standing and they just poke a ticket). In this case, of course, Schengen will not be slapped! If a flight to Croatia from terminal 1, or from the second terminal without "hanging" in the transit zone and you will be stamped on the "Schengen" about entering the "zone", then it does not matter that it will be "German". This ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
There should be no problems with Croatian border guards in the context of your Italian visa. This is absolutely normal. You can always say that you are going to Italy further. Here the question arises with the CROATIAN VISA (even if it is transit). And at the moment, as far as I understand, it should be!
But for several years in a row for Ukrainians (I don’t know about others), it was canceled from April to October. But in the context of Croatia's accession to the EU - there was a bummer!

If I were you, I would clarify the issue of a Croatian visa at the embassy. Still, calling is easier than flying. YES, and on the website of the embassy such info can be quite

Attention!
Foreign citizens, with the following documents:
a valid temporary residence permit in one of the countries participating in the Schengen Agreement,
a valid Schengen visa type "C" or a multiple entry Schengen visa type "D"
temporarily do not need a visa to enter the Republic of Croatia for a short stay or for transit through the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
The above documents must be valid both at the time of entry and exit from the Republic of Croatia, i.e. must ensure re-entry into the territory of the countries participating in the Schengen Agreement.
The simplified procedure for the entry of foreign citizens into the Republic of Croatia will be valid until the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union.

and here is the info :)

Yes, I have already called the consular department a hundred times. Their infa is constantly changing (one picks up the phone - one carries, the second - the other). Visas must be either Schengen (multi or two-entry) or national Croatian. I called travel agencies from the list (those that are accredited) - they send them together, where far away (we issue visas only when buying a package tour). One boy from the embassy told me "send the DEA docks, but you will take it yourself", and the embassy writes "no post! Only an official notarized power of attorney" !!

Masha, isn't that what you were told about?
If you want a Schengen visa to Croatia - please, at least once, ENTER the Schengen and LEAVE the Schengen.
You kind of don’t want to believe it and again and again stupidly call the embassy back, as if on the hundred and first call they will have mercy and say: “Well, Masha, for such a persistent girl like you, we will make an exception - fly on whatever visa you want ")))

Masha, isn't that what you were told about? - What are you about???
I know the nuances very well (I also read the embassy website and do not call back "stupidly"). As a person who faced the problem and thoroughly studied it, I realized that the employees of the consular department themselves are "confused in their testimony" and give conflicting information. that is why I tried to find out for myself here the possibility of entering Croatia by Italian. visa. but I don't seem to get a good answer here...

Masha - tourists communicate here and give advice or recommendations to each other.
Until this year, it was possible to enter Croatia without a visa. now everything has changed and the season has just begun, hardly anyone has already flown to rest in Croatia this year. More precisely, most likely they have already flown, but it’s not a fact that these people will read the forum.

That's why I bought tickets, because I was sure that the entry would be visa-free ... Croatia is my 26th country, but I have never experienced such an "Ambush" when applying for a visa and inconvenience (even Canada and the USA are many times easier)
аватар sigur62
Sympathize with you.
However: "I bought tickets, because I was sure that the entry would be visa-free" (c) - smiled. A year ago, it was known that there would be no visa-free entry in 2013.
And there is no "ambush", the usual visa formalities.
аватар masha_sociology
I did not know this in September (as well as many others). And there really wouldn’t be an ambush if I lived in Moscow or the promised visa center would be opened in Ekb (the aunt at the Embassy reassured me with a soft Croatian accent and assured me that everything would open at the end of March ... ). Or if the Croats would take care and build relationships with PonyExpress for the regions (as smart Canadians do)...
