Foreign workers who want to live and work in Croatia must obtain a work permit and the appropriate work visa. The process begins with securing a job offer from a Croatian employer, who will then apply for the work permit on your behalf. Once approved, applicants submit their Type D long-stay visa application at the Croatian embassy or consulate. Required documents usually include a valid passport, a job contract, proof of accommodation, health insurance, and a police clearance certificate. Work permits are generally valid for one year and can be renewed. With growing opportunities in tourism, construction, IT, and agriculture, Croatia is becoming a popular destination for foreign workers.
