I am planning to go to Spain to celebrate the New Year, but before then, if my visa situation permits, I also plan to go to Croatia in November.

Due to me working abroad, I will only have time to apply for one visa.

The question is, if I state in the visa application to the Spanish Embassy that I am going to Croatia for 5 days in November in the first trip, then leave the Schengen area for a month and then go to Spain for 10 days during the New Year for the second trip, would it be reasonable to expect the Spanish Embassy to provide me with a multiple entry visa starting from November or is this just a pipe dream?

Thanks for your kind help.

I am very sure that I answered a similar question not very long ago, but I can't find it anymore. Perhaps it was deleted by the author.

You are right that you are allowed to enter Croatia if you hold a multiple entry Schengen visa. There are some restrictions, but not likely applicable in your case.

That does however not mean, that a Schengen state consulate will issue you a visa with the purpose of visiting Croatia. If you unveil your real travel plans in the visa application to the Spanish consulate, they will unlikely issue you a visa for the trip to Croatia.
