After a 90-days stay at France within 180 days, can I still visit Croatia?

Accepted answer

Staying in Croatia does indeed not count towards your Schengen stay.

Official source:

Stays in Bulgaria, Croatia, Ireland, Romania, Cyprus and the United Kingdom shall not be taken into account as they are not (yet) part of the Schengen area without internal borders.

Croatia has its own 90 out of 180 rule, as can be read on this website of their Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. Holder of a valid Schengen visa do not need to apply separately.

Note that Croatia intends to apply for joining the Schengen area in 2015. Depending on the outcome and how soon your journey is, this should be taken into account.

The HKSAR passport allows 90 days stay in Croatia, as per the HK Immigration website: http://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/service/travel_document/visa_free_access.html
