Croatia Visa Types
Croatia Business Visa
The business visa is valid for 90 days or 180 days, and this can be extended as per the discretion of the immigration authorities. As this is strictly a business visa, you cannot seek employment with this.
Croatia long-stay visas
If you wish to stay in Croatia for longer than 90 days, then you will have to possess two kinds of permits - Croatia long-stay visa and a temporary residence permit. There are different kinds of Croatian long-stay visas. For example, with a Croatian work visa, you can live and work in Croatia. However, you need to have a Croatian employer before applying for a work permit and a visa, because it is the employer who gets this for you. It is not possible to get a temporary residence permit in Croatia without a valid work permit.
