Frequently Asked Questions (Croatia Digital Nomad Visa)
What is the statutory minimum income requirement for Croatia's Digital Nomad Visa? ▾
Under the Croatian Aliens Act (Zakon o strancima), applicants must demonstrate a regular monthly remote income equal to at least 2.5 times the national average net salary (~€2,539.54/month) or show a lump-sum bank balance of at least €30,474.48 for a 12-month stay.
How much additional income is required for accompanying family members? ▾
For each accompanying dependent family member (spouse or child), the statutory financial threshold increases by +10% of the base requirement (approximately +€253.95/month per dependent).
Are digital nomads exempt from Croatian personal income tax? ▾
Yes. Under Article 9, paragraph 1, item 26 of the Croatian Income Tax Act (Zakon o porezu na dohodak), income earned by digital nomads from remote work for foreign clients or foreign employers is 100% exempt from Croatian personal income tax.
Can a digital nomad provide remote services to Croatian companies? ▾
No. The statutory permit strictly prohibits performing work, providing services, or invoicing domestic Croatian employers or companies. Doing so invalidates the permit and triggers standard Croatian tax and social security liabilities.
What is the maximum duration of the temporary residence permit? ▾
The permit is issued for a maximum period of up to 12 months. It cannot be directly renewed; applicants must leave Croatia for at least 6 months before submitting a new application for another digital nomad permit.
