Mark do you intend to travel with your wife from Philippines to Spain?
It's much easier if you can do that.

Sorry for being so nieve terpe but in what way would it be easier the consulate said that I need an NIE number which I obtained then to have an adrfess in Spain so I could accomodate my wife I have the necessary resources to maintain our selfs its just confusing any other input would be very much appreciated as if you said its best to go with her then thats not a problem...

I'm sorry ...... but this is total & utter b*ll*cks !

A VISA IS REQUIRED for Croatia.

... it says it on their website...

... and the Visa section just confirmed it to me on the phone.
The "only" exception they might make is that if the individual concerned still had a valid mult-entry Schengen visa, then this would "probably be accepted, but it would be down to the individual immigration officer at your time of entry".

Unless you're prepared to back this up with evidence (and link) to the relevant statements & documentation, I'd suggest you don't post such misleading information.

Someone will suffer because of it.
