Croatia Visa Requirements: Do You Qualify?
Check whether your income or savings meet Croatia's requirements for Digital Nomad temporary stay and Temporary stay for other purposes for your whole family.
How it works
Using the checker
- Enter who moves with you: the adults besides you (a spouse or partner, dependent parents) and the children.
- Enter your monthly income before tax and the savings you can show.
- Each route shows the amount it asks of your household and whether your figures meet it — by income, or by savings where the rules accept them.
The routes and how the amounts are worked out
- Digital Nomad temporary stay — Remote work for an employer or your own company registered outside Croatia. 2.5 × the average net salary of 2025 (€1,449) = €3,622.50 a month, + 10% of it (€144.90) for each family member; or savings for the whole stay (€43,470 for 12 months). Up to 18 months; a new application is possible 6 months after it ends. No work for Croatian employers.
- Temporary stay for other purposes — Staying on your own means for another lawful purpose. 60% of the average net salary of 2025 = €869.40 a month (since January 2026). The extra amounts for family members are not clear in the regulation — the calculator shows the applicant's own amount. Croatia has no golden visa.
Money is not the only requirement
Every route also asks for health insurance, a clean criminal record and documents proving the income, translated and legalised where required. A lawyer checks the whole file before you apply and helps with the residence permit after arrival.
