About this Visa
You can get this visa if your company in another country sends you to work in Croatia for a few months or up to a year. The company you work for stays your employer—you're not getting hired by a Croatian company. This is different from regular work visas because it follows European Union rules that make it faster and easier. You can legally work in Croatia during your stay. You don't need a separate work permit if you have this visa. Your employer must notify Croatian authorities before you start working. This visa is for employees sent on temporary assignments—not for people moving to Croatia permanently.
Key Benefits
- Work legally without getting a separate work permit
- Same minimum wage and working conditions as Croatian workers
- Use public healthcare if you have health insurance
- Travel to other countries for up to 90 days without losing your visa
