Overview

This permit is for third-country nationals legally employed by a company in another EEA Member State and posted to work in Croatia for more than 90 days.

This permit facilitates the movement of labor within the EEA by allowing third-country nationals employed by EEA companies to work in Croatia. It is strictly tied to the posting agreement and requires the applicant to maintain their employment status in the originating EEA country.

It serves as a bridge for workers to contribute to the Croatian economy while maintaining their primary employment abroad.
