Hello OP, what is the best option for a 40yr old male with WAEC certificate. That wants to travel to Croatia for work
Re: Living In Croatia - Work And Study Route by Eky29: 5:18pm On Apr 08
Good evening charmingsamson,

I hope you are doing well.
Please I would like to know if you process your visa application to Croatia from Nigeria through VFS Abuja?
If yes, please how long after submitting did you get a response from them?
I would like to know because their website said the visa will be ready within 45 days or more and now it is already 55 days and I’m yet to hear from them.

I have emailed them on Friday to know the status of my application and no response yet.
I’m very worried because my employer is already paying for my accommodation in Croatia and he’s not happy about the delay.

Can you advise me what else i can do?
Would it be okay to send them a another email?
Thank you and I shall await your response



charmingsamson:
Yes, You can convert from student visa to work permit. You don't need to speak Croatia to obtain work permit

Embassy of Croatia in Pretoria South African only process Nigerians visa application through VFS Abuja.

When it comes to legalization of Nigerian documents, Croatia embassy in South Africa doesn’t do that.

Hi Eky29

I submitted since 16 of February, haven't heard anything
Re: Living In Croatia - Work And Study Route by Eky29: 6:07pm On Apr 09

You actually submitted 3 days after mine. I submitted on the 13th of February.

I have not heard anything from them, I even sent them an email last week Thursday and no response yet. It was very strange because during the time I was looking for which Croatian embassy to legalize my police character, I emailed them few times and they usually reply within few hours.

So I’m wondering maybe they didn’t see my email and I’m thinking of resending but I’m not sure that will be a good idea because all these embassies sometimes have skoi skoi..

Jesus!!! 6 to 12 months?
Maybe it’s because of the type application you applied for. My employer actually called them like 3 weeks after I submitted and they told him that it takes 45 days or more sometimes to process the visa

Maybe you can email them to know the status of your application or better still check with the embassy since you are in SA but not sure they can allow you in.

I applied in Croatia with a Schengen visa, but a buddy applied in Abuja, and it took more than two months since VFS submitted it to the Croatian Embassy in South Africa, which then approved it by the Ministry of Interior in Croatia. Please be patient. Good luck.

Re: Living In Croatia - Work And Study Route by charmingsamson(m): 10:12am On Apr 13
It depends on if you choose to live alone. If you want a shared apartment, it will cost you between 150 and 250 Euro per room, but living alone will depend on the sort of apartment you choose. The cost of living is very inexpensive. Salary varies by employment; some make between 850 and 1400 euros after taxes and health insurance. Transportation costs 0.55 cents every trip. Most people in Croatia speak English, but I recommend that you learn Croatian for easier assimilation.

@ charmingsamson

Good afternoon, thank you for this information it helps alot.
I came across your post in March 2024 and I followed you and @Eky29 steps.
Lucky me an employer replied me last week and set up zoom interview yesterday, very straight forward guys.
I passed the first stage of interview and am moving to next stage which is panel interview with the team.
It's an administrative role, he asked me salary expectations but i think I did not research well on that area he said I can still make amendments in the next interview.
Please assit with the below questions should incase it comes up in the next interview stage I don't want to lose this opportunity:

1. Cost of living in Zagreb like housing, transport, feeding etc.
2. Everybody speaks english cause I have to relate with customers/clients.
3. Please what is like average salary of administrative staff. Google give me €27k per annual and that's like €2.2k per month.

@Eky29
Please kindly assit if there's any additional information or questions that might come up.
Since you have pass through this stage.

Thank you in advance i only have till Wednesday.

When it comes to working in Croatia, your age is not an issue. If you have all of the necessary talents, I promise you will not have any problems. Electrical and plumbing contractors are in high demand here. Working as a restaurant cook. To work in Croatia, you must possess all of the required abilities. check Linkdin or https://www.moj-posao.net/HR/Izdvojeno/International/Foreign-Workers-Jobs-Croatia. Make sure your CV is excellent and apply. We need more good Nigerians here. Good luck.

I have made a list of companies hiring foreigners and recruiting companies to bring foreigners to Croatia. I have you contact them. Please make sure you have skills and your CV is perfect. A criminal record is important. It must be legalized in the ministry of foreign affairs. Then maybe the Nigerian Embassy in London and the Croatian Embassy in London. Good luck.

charmingsamson:
Hello Everyone, I am a Nigerian who recently moved to Croatia. I am surprised that I can hardly find any Nigerians, even Africans. It is a shame because Croatia is a nation thriving with steady growth in economics, boom infrastructure, and tourism. I am surprised there are any Nigerians coming to work here. Whenever I take a walk on the streets, it is full of Nepali and Indian nationals working in construction companies, bakers, cleaners, wolts, and other important sections where local nationals won't want to work. There are a lot of jobs here. The minimum wage here is 840–1000 euros. They have a very good health section and a beautiful seaside, which I think is the best in Europe. I haven't experienced any racism and the people are friendly, and mostly the women are very beautiful and they love black men. I will guide you on how to apply for a job in Croatia.

First, create a very good CV and create an account with Moj-posao.net. You need to translate the page because it is in Croatian. Click job for jobs for foreign workers in Croatia. https://www.moj-posao.net/HR/Izdvojeno/International/Foreign-Workers-Jobs-Croatia/   Start applying immediately. Please continue applying. Don't sleep or rest. another website for hiring foreigner https://brightfuture.hr/looking-for-a-job/ There are a lot of jobs for foreigners.

If you finally get a job, the Croatian Embassy visa application is handled by VFS Croatia in Abuja. It was straight-forward. High rate for visa approval for job applications. If you intend to study in Croatia, which is likely the easiest. Aspira University College in Split and Zagreb campuses is your best option. They offer a program in English with very cheap tuition fees. Study visa is straight-forward and easier. Please ask me any questions here. Please, nobody should DM me; I won't respond. We need very good Nigerian in Croatia. Croatians want foreigners who are likely to integrate very well into society. Learning Croatian is very important. Good luck.
Good day, please the second website you posted is requesting for a payment of $50

I don't know if the OP went via study visa, I am at the point of submission but I need clarity on the type of visa to apply for.

University of Zagreb is not providing sufficient information regarding visa.

But based on my research, 5K Euro is enough for POF aside your tuition
