From real experience

riskHungarian Schengen visa application is currently a common workaround for traveling to Croatia due to strict Croatian visa processing times.
Key risk factors for visa cancellation include: 1. Failure to check into booked accommodation (some hotels report no-shows to consulates). 2. Discrepancies between the intended itinerary and actual stay duration. Recommendation: Ensure the primary destination (Hungary) matches the declared duration or that Hungary is the entry point, and consider staying at least one night in the booked hotel to mitigate risks of cancellation reports.

how-toTo determine if a Schengen visa allows multiple entries and re-entry after leaving the Schengen area, check the visa sticker in the passport.
Look for the term 'MULT' printed next to the number of days of validity (e.g., 90 or 69). If 'MULT' is present, the visa is multi-entry, permitting you to leave and re-enter the Schengen zone as long as the visa remains valid and you do not exceed the total number of allowed days of stay. If '01' or no such marking is present, it's likely a single-entry visa.

how-toFamily reunification for spouses of Digital Nomad Visa holders in Croatia involves applying at the local police station (MUP) or the embassy.
Required documents usually include: marriage certificate (apostilled), proof of sufficient funds, health insurance, and the primary applicant's residency permit. Processing times at embassies can exceed 3-4 weeks, so local processing is often preferred if the spouse is already in the country legally.
