Britons heading to Croatia must abide by the Schengen area passport requirements.
The FCO continued: "To enter Croatia (and all Schengen countries) your passport must have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive.
"You must have passports issued after 1 October 2018 are now valid for only 10 years, but for passports issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added if you renewed a passport early.
"[And] have an ‘expiry date’ at least three months after the day you plan to leave."

This comes as Britons travelling to Greece have been given a safety warning.
Tourists are urged to be careful when visiting popular parts of the country as demonstrations are likely.
"Avoid demonstrations wherever possible and follow the advice of the local authorities," the FCO said.
"Some demonstrations in the past have turned violent. If you do find yourself unexpectedly near a demonstration, move away to the last known safe place.
"Security forces often use tear gas to break up demonstrations, which can harm your breathing and vision."
