Next step **How we know** Every figure here is as mup.gov.hr publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so. Sources are listed further down the page. ## What to know before you apply The starting-point figure needed correcting on two counts: the maximum stay is 18 months (not 12), and the current means-of-subsistence figure is 3.622,50 EUR/month, uprated under Official Gazette 3/26 (the Regulation citation on the MUP page now reads "no. 14/21 and 3/26"). The 6-month gap before re-application IS confirmed verbatim on the official page. The "time as a digital nomad does not count toward permanent residence" rule could NOT be verified: the MUP digital-nomad page says nothing about permanent stay / long-term residence, and secondary sources contradict each other on it, so it is omitted here. No taxNote: the MUP page carries no tax information, and the Croatian Tax Administration site (porezna-uprava.hr) returned a generic placeholder page for every path tried, so the commonly repeated claim that digital nomads' foreign income is exempt from Croatian income tax is NOT verified here. MUP states no official processing time. ## What it means for your tax days A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days. Croatia treats you as tax resident once you are present 183 days At least 183 days, in one or in two calendar years — so the period may straddle a year end, and residents are taxed on worldwide income. Days are not the only test: Under the Opći porezni zakon (General Tax Act) a taxpayer has a domicile (prebivalište) where they own or possess a dwelling continuously for at least 183 days in one or two calendar years; actual physical presence in the dwelling is not required. Habitual abode (uobičajeno boravište) is a continuous or temporally connected stay of at least 183 days in one or two calendar years; interruptions of up to one year do not break the count.
