actually its cheaper travelling to Croatia from France than going to Nigeria and returning back. How? by train; You could get a direct train, from Zurich Switzerland to Zagreb Croatia- (of course Switzerland borders France, so one could use a bus to Zurich from France)
For the train, There are cheap fares from just €39 with
couchette, €69 with bed in a 2-bed sleeper, if you pre-book.
So its not expensive at all, to me, its even fun. asides the fun/adventure involved, the Visa is Maximally used, once one starts going in and out of EU border zones, the stay duration (days) is recapped upon return.

What kind of visa is required to go into Croatia?

optimusprime2:

If you have a valid Schengen Visa, you will be stamped in to Croatia.
But I have a question; is her visa multiple entry?

swtchicgurl:


Yes, so just a stamp plus multiple entry schenghen visa is enough to get into Croatia?

optimusprime2:


For your information, a Valid Multiple entry Schengen Visa can get you into some non EU member countries like Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, and Ukraine.
For instance Turkey issues a visa upon entry if a Valid Multiple entry Schengen Visa is on the travellers document, all you have to do is pay for it at the P.O.E.
So if you say she has a multiple entry Schengen visa, then entry into Croatia is not an issue as she is very eligible.

Those two countries are EU members.

Thank you for this info. To be clearer for me, if she leaves the Schengen border, and returns the days in duration of stay will reset?

optimusprime2:

Technically, yes... but she needs to spend sometime out there, probablly like 2 or three days.

Pick another country to try!

Ok i get that now, she needs get a letter from the organizers indicating that the conference has been postponed and a letter from her company authorizing her to stay back for the seminar, both letters will be sent to embassy for change of circumstances. She can do it or her company.

swtchicgurl:


you were right about this.

There was much confusion at some point. In addition to the information we got here, we asked people around, some people said it's IMPOSSIBLE or extremely hard to extend. That is very true - which we confirmed.

Some people around also said it can reset if she returned to Nigeria (or exit he schegen boarder) for a few days, some said it won't reset. We can't confirm this, since we did not use this option, but I have a friend who recently left Germany for UK and back, I am trying to confirm if there was a reset. Hopefully, if I find any information, I will update as well.

In all of these, #God-win

Thank you friends.

I'm glad it worked out at least for now, there is always an exceptional circumstances in every rule, you can only get those by writing or calling the authorities. It's not always published because people will abuse it.
Good luck though
