Croatia AB dışı çalışanlar için çalışma izni ve göçmenlik rehberi

Genel bakış

Hırvatistan sabit kotaların yerine işgücü-piyasası testini (labour-market testing) getirdi, ancak 2026 işveren koşulları katıdır. İşverenler aktif kayıtlı faaliyet, kamu borçlarında temerrüt bulunmaması, geçen yıl içinde en az bir kesintisiz istihdam edilen yerli çalışan, asgari hesap girişi göstermeli ve üçüncü ülke çalışanlarının en az %20'si (kıt meslekler için %10) oranında bir yerli-çalışan tabanını korumalıdır.

Başvuru süreci

• Labour market test request — Employer via Croatian Employment Service (Hrvatski zavod za zapošljavanje - HZZ): The employer requests a labour market test and the opinion of the Croatian Employment Service via the HZZ web platform to confirm no suitable domestic, EEA or Swiss worker is available (unless the post is on the high-demand list or otherwise exempt under Article 110).
• HZZ opinion issued — Authority via Croatian Employment Service (Hrvatski zavod za zapošljavanje - HZZ): The Croatian Employment Service evaluates labour demand and the employer's eligibility (registered activity, no tax/insurance debt, at least one full-time domestic worker employed in the prior 6 months, no labour-related convictions) and issues a positive or negative opinion.
• Stay and work permit application — Employer via Ministry of the Interior (Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova - MUP): The employer (or worker) submits the single residence-and-work-permit application (Form 2a, or Form 4a for an EU Blue Card) online via the HZZ portal, or in person/by mail/email to the competent police administration or police station at the place of intended residence or work.
• Permit decision — Authority via Ministry of the Interior (Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova - MUP), competent police administration or police station: The competent police administration or police station decides on the residence-and-work permit, valid for the term of the employment contract up to one year (renewable). (EUR 74.32 for the granted stay and work permit)
• Entry visa (if required) — Worker via Diplomatic mission or consular office of the Republic of Croatia: If subject to visa requirements, the worker applies for a long-stay (type D) entry visa at a Croatian diplomatic mission or consular office before travelling to Croatia.
• Biometric residence card issuance — Worker via Ministry of the Interior (Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova - MUP), competent police administration: After arrival the worker registers and collects the biometric residence permit card, which evidences the right to stay and work. (EUR 31.85 for biometric card production (EUR 59.73 accelerated), plus EUR 9.29 issuance fee)

İşlem süresi ve resmi ücretler

• Overall processing time: Standard residence-and-work permit applications are generally decided within about 30-60 days of a complete submission; under the 2025 Law on Foreigners amendments a 60-day decision deadline applies to EU Blue Card applications. Renewal applications must be filed no later than 30 days before the current permit expires.
• Government fees: EUR 74.32 for the granted stay and work permit; EUR 31.85 for biometric residence permit production (EUR 59.73 accelerated) plus EUR 9.29 issuance fee; EUR 39.82 for a work registration certificate (alternative route). Fees paid via state-budget payment slips obtained at police administrations.
• Authorities (MUP, HZZ, consular offices), the single-permit flow, employer eligibility conditions and the EUR fee amounts were verified against MUP and gov.hr official pages and the EU Immigration Portal; the exact 30-60 day standard processing window comes from secondary 2026 commentary and the 60-day Blue Card deadline from 2025 amendments and should be reconfirmed against MUP for the case-specific permit type.
