Common questions
What workers ask us most
Do I need to pay for my own work permit?
No. Your employer (or their agency) applies for and handles the permit. Legitimate employers cover or reimburse most administrative costs. Requests for large upfront payments are a warning sign of fraud.
How long until I start working in Croatia?
Typically 30–45 days for an unregulated trade. It depends mostly on how quickly the Ministry of the Interior issues the work permit (currently 20–30 days).
How much can I earn?
It depends on the job and the employer. In construction, for example, general laborers earn roughly 1,200–1,500 EUR a month gross and specialists such as welders up to 2,500 EUR (approximate market figures). Net pay is typically 75–80% of gross. Your gross salary is always written in your contract.
Where will I live?
Most employers of foreign workers provide or arrange accommodation, typically shared apartments for 2–4 workers. The cost is either covered by the employer or deducted from salary (roughly 200–400 EUR a month). Always get the arrangement in writing before you sign.
Do I need to speak Croatian?
No. Basic English helps with supervisors, and on many sites work is shown visually. A translation app covers daily life in the first months.
Will I have health insurance?
Yes. Once your employer registers you with the Croatian Health Insurance Fund (HZZO), you have access to public healthcare from the first day of employment, the same as Croatian workers.
