About the country
Croatia is an EU, Schengen and eurozone member on the Adriatic coast. Since January 2021 it has run a state digital nomad visa (Digital Nomad Residence Permit) for non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens who work remotely for foreign employers or clients. The permit is issued for up to 18 months, and income under this status is not subject to Croatian income tax. It cannot be renewed back to back: once it expires you need a break of at least 6 months before applying again.
Worth knowing
- !A high income threshold that rises every year - from €3,622.50/month as of July 2026 (2.5× the average net salary)
- !The digital nomad status cannot be renewed back to back - a break of at least 6 months is required before a new application
- !Time on the digital nomad status doesn't count towards the 5 years needed for permanent residence - that needs a different permit
