Actually I used a third party to help me but he carried me along with everything he was doing


The first thing he requested for was Police Clearance certificate!!!

I search online for how to get PCC, on the second day I reach out to a police officer in alagbon Lagos

He asked me to pay 50k after much bargain we concluded on 45k because I wasn't ready to go to Lagos for fingerprint. I sent the money to him and in less than five hours the PCC was sent to my mail.

Precisely February 16 I send my documents to South Africa for authentication at the Croatia Embassy


Documents: Police Clearance certificate and booked Croatia Address

Note this is not a working visa
It's a digital nomad visa which allows the applicant to work anywhere in the Schengen area
Most especially freelance

Getting a temporary residence permit doesn't guarantee you will be given the visa

Reason 2: the procedure for withdrawing a temporary stay permit has been initiated

Sorry about this.

Did you include a verifiable remote job, source of income of 2k+ monthly ?

Or did you just pull lump sum to make up 30k+ in your balance.

I guess the first reason has to do with verifiability or how genuine your source of income is.
