Croatia is in desperate search of employees right now. Many sectors, such as manufacturing and leisure, do not have sufficient individuals to cover all available opportunities. As a consequence, Croatian businesses are searching for candidates from other countries to occupy these positions. The firm hires an immigrant, and the authorities issue a working visa.

One of the reasons for the labor scarcity is that many Croatians are emigrating to other EU nations, and part of it is that Croatians do not want to work in these types of employment. If you are a non-EU resident, you may request a working visa in Croatia if you fulfill the requirements.

Requirements for work permits and the labor force assessment 

Employment restrictions were removed on January 1, 2021. It indicates that the amount of overseas labor which can be recruited in Croatia has no restriction. It is unquestionably an improvement, yet there is still one hurdle that a corporation must clear before hiring an immigrant. The “labor market test” is the name of this obstacle.

If a Croatian company seeks to engage a non-EU citizen, they must initially obtain approval from the HZZ recruitment office before submitting a job and residency visa application. HZZ will conduct a labor force analysis to decide whether or not the business will be allowed to recruit the expatriate.

If a business wants to recruit full-time or part-time personnel, it can submit a labor force assessment. But, whether or not to hire someone part-time is a judgment made by the HZZ. In this instance, the prospective part-time worker must be paid at least 3381 kunas on a “net” basis. If this criterion is fulfilled, HZZ may approve the hiring of a part-time worker.

How can a Croatian company obtain an international employee’s working and residency permit? 

Companies must apply for an employment visa for their prospective overseas workers after receiving approval from HZZ. Recruiters must submit a working visa application to MUP.

The recruiter must submit: 

• Agreement of hiring 
• Evidence of fulfilling the conditions that prospective workers must meet in the labor force exam, which often contain: 
• a particular degree of schooling 
• Qualifications in education 
• Skill in the workplace 
• Criminal record check for workers that have been apostilled/legalized 
• Passport copies of a worker

Net Salary, not Gross Salary

Also most important part is the Employment contract, kindly note all salary discussion should be after Tax salary i.e. Net Salary.
