Temporary residence permit for remote workers employed by or owning companies outside Croatia. Valid for up to 18 months (or 6 months minimum). One of Europe's most popular digital nomad programs with a key benefit: complete tax exemption on foreign-sourced income. Requires minimum monthly income of €3,295 or savings of €39,540 for 12 months (€59,310 for 18 months). Can include family members (+10% income per dependent). After the permit expires, you must wait 6 months before reapplying. Does NOT count toward permanent residence. Croatia's Schengen membership allows visa-free travel throughout the Schengen zone.
