Indeed, any foreign individual who is not a citizen of the European Union or the European Free Trade Association and wishes to remain in Croatia for more than 90 days must apply for a long-stay visa in Croatia. This also applies to non-citizens who are granted an exemption from short-stay visas. Croatian long-stay visas are often granted for the reasons of job, education, or family reunion. A long-stay visa grants the individual permission to visit Croatia specifically for the purpose of applying for a Croatian Residence Permit. The ability to travel, reside, study, and work in Croatia without a visa, whether for a short or long period, is only granted to nationals of the EU/EFTA under the EU ability of Free Movement.
