Croatia extended the work permit to 3 years

Croatia is planning to introduce more relaxed regulations for foreign workers. The country introduced a more straightforward accommodation procedure and extended the residence and work permits from the current one year to three years.

 

By extending the residence and work permit, the country wants to offer an easier transition from one job position to another and make it simpler to change employers.

 

As per the data from Pension Insurance Institute show that around 143,000 foreign workers are currently working in Croatia. As per the data, most foreign workers come from non-EU countries, accounting for 12,000 in Croatia. Most of the Non-EU residents working in Croatia are mainly from:

 

• Bosnia
• Herzegovina
• Serbia
• North Macedonia
• Kosovo
• Albania

 

Despite Croatia having many foreign workers, the country continues to deal with shortages in several fields.

 

Each month, Croatia issued around 20,000 work permits to Non-EU workers to deal with the shortage. While different parts of Croatia need foreign workers, Istria is constantly in shortage.

 

In Croatia, there is a shortage of around 30 occupations. Foreigners who have acquired jobs on the shortage list have increased chances of obtaining a work visa and entering the country for work purposes.
