A digital nomad is a third-country citizen who is employed or
performs work remotely through communication technology for a
personally owned or another business entity that is not registered
in Croatia and does not provide goods or services in Croatia.
It is estimated that five million people around the world can be
considered as digital nomads since the ongoing pandemic has made
work from home quite common and accelerated this trend with more
and more people turning to digital nomadism. The Republic of
Croatia has caught up with the global trend of regulating the
status of digital nomads and was one of the first countries to
adopt the digital nomad visa.
Digital nomads can reside in Croatia for up to one year and
similar visas can also be provided for their family members, both
extended on yearly basis.
