If you are interested in applying for a job in Croatia, send an email with all required documents to this agency. All my Filipino coworkers at my workplace came through this agency. I heard they recruit from the Philippines and India, but you have to give it a try. The agency will collect 20 percent of your salary if they offer you a work permit. Police clearance is very important when applying for a Croatian work permit. If you have someone in South Africa, Europe, or anywhere, there is a Nigerian embassy and a Croatian embassy. They could help you notary it. You just need to write a power of attorney notary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja and send it to him or her to help you notarize your police clearance. Remember, there is a shortage of assistant chefs, warehouse workers, plumbers, and cleaners. Make sure your CV has years of experience, even if you don't have any. It is very important.
- CV
- Passport copy (must be valid for at least 2.5 years)
- Passport size picture
- NBI with apostille or police clearance with MOFA and embassy stamp is mandatory
- Copy of high school or college diploma
Applications without complete documentation are invalid.
Contact them at jobsincroatia@gmail.com with the position that you are applying for as the SUBJECT
https://www.facebook.com/CROpportunities

Thanks for sharing this top info, your kind being are rare.

Is it possible possible to get job offer without
apostille or police clearance with MOFA and embassy stamp or all the recruitment agencies mandated it?

I guessed this process can be done after someone get job offer (visa application stage)

Thanks in Anticipation.

Very good question.
I don’t really know the document required for Croatia study visa.
But when it comes to Croatia work visa, CV, degree or waec result depending on the one you have and is required for the job. Certificate of apprenticeship ( depending on the kind of job) data page of international passport, passport photo, police certificate.
Note that: police clearance cert needs to be legalized at the federal ministry of foreign affairs Abuja and also in Croatia embassy. This is very important.

Also note that the above mentioned documents are required for obtaining a Croatian work permit.
Then once you have the permit, you can now go to VFS Abuja for visa application with the required documents for visa.


I will like to ask if dependants are allowed for Croatia work visa

Re: Living In Croatia - Work And Study Route by charmingsamson(m): 6:07pm On Aug 03
I have been busy working and don't have time to check on Nairaland. Anyone gotten a job in Croatia recently? I just signed a contract with an agency to bring workers from Nigeria. I will have to focus on bringing my family members and friends here first, then I will start recruiting from Nairaland, maybe in the October period. I will be available for questions now.

Process of Obtaining a Student Study and Work Visa for Croatia from Abuja, Nigeria

Step 1: Acceptance into a Croatian University
Choose a Program and Apply:

Select a Croatian university and the program you wish to study. Submit your application along with required documents, such as transcripts, proof of English proficiency (if needed), and any specific documents requested by the university.

Acceptance letter from the Croatian university.
Proof of accommodation in Croatia (e.g., dormitory reservation or rental agreement).
Proof of financial means to support yourself during your stay (bank statements, scholarship letters, etc.).
Travel health insurance covering at least €30,000 for the entire duration of your stay in Croatia.
Proof of payment for the visa fee.
Additional Documents for Work Permit:

If you plan to work while studying, check the specific requirements for a work permit, as these may vary. Some students may be allowed to work part-time without a separate work permit, depending on their course and duration.

Step 3: Submit Visa Application
Apply at the VFS Global Visa Application Centre:

As of now, Croatian visa applications from Nigeria are processed through VFS Global in Abuja. Here is the contact information:

The processing time for a student visa can vary but generally takes several weeks. It’s advisable to apply well in advance of your planned departure date.

Upon arrival in Croatia, you will need to register your residence and apply for a temporary residence permit at the local police station within 30 days. This is required for stays longer than 90 days.

If your visa does not include a work permit, consult the university’s international office or local authorities to understand the process of obtaining one, if applicable.

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.
