Hi Spencer, thanks for taking the time to make the video. I went through the process for the Hungarian Digital Nomad Visa (White Card) and it sounds like the Croatian one is a lot more complex- the Hungarian one was fairly straight forward. Once you have signed up to a 12 month rental agreement, how do you get it notarised over there? Thanks!
Hello! Thank you so much for your video! I have a question - by the time you went to Croatia for the interview, did you stay permanently already? Or did you have to leave Croatia while waiting for something else to happen after that interview?
Hi! Glad you found the video helpful :) I just stayed in Croatia in the meantime. I believe that once your application is being processed you are free to stay until it is concluded.
Can you alsso please give the sample of your Contract that you submited so that we may also request our employer to make like that for us to be more specific ..thanks

Watched your video and you're looking beautiful mate. I did applied for the same and they asked for the Police Character Certificate, I got it apostilized/attested from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country, do I also need to get it from Croatian embassy or I'm okay with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, please advise?
Hi, thanks for the compliment 😂 As long as you’re certain it is indeed apostilled (not just issued from your home country's Ministry) you should be good to go!
Hi @spenot09, I have a question. Everytime you move from one place to another say from Split to Zagreb, do you need get a new residence permit. If yes, how cumbersome it is. I m planning to stay in Split for only a month and then move to Zagreb, as I heard that the processing time in Split is faster compared to Zagreb. Please reply
Hi! Yep you will receive a temporary residency card which will have to be updated, but this won't be too difficult to do (certainly much simpler than getting the card in the first place!)
Quick question about your video ... does one need a rental contract for an entire year to get Croatian permit? Or can one have a short contract (Air BnB) followed by an intent to travel around Croatia?
Do I need to buy health/travel insurance for the whole year before I submit my application at the VFS centre? I checked some websites and I see that max duration for which travel insurance is issued is 180 days only. Your reply is greatly appreciated
Hi! Yes you will need health insurance for the entire period of stay. You will be asked to submit proof of this when making your initial application so it is needed. Do note that you need health insurance, not travel insurance which is maybe why some only offer it for 180 days. I personally went with Cigna who’ve been great!
