To obtain a work permit for Croatia as a Bangladeshi citizen, you will typically need to follow these general steps:

  1. Job Offer: Secure a job offer from a Croatian employer. The employer must be willing to sponsor your application for a work permit. They will generally need to prove that they could not find a suitable candidate from within the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) countries for the position.

  2. Job Sectors: (Factory, Warehouse, Packaging, Delivery, Construction, Cleaning)

  3. Salary: Basic salary starts from 800 to 1000 euros per month. Duty times 8 hours per day 40 hours per week.

  4. Work Permit Application: Once you have the job offer, your employer will apply for a work permit on your behalf. This application is usually submitted to the Croatian Employment Service (HZZ). The employer will need to provide documentation, including details of the job position, proof of recruitment efforts, and your qualifications.

  5. Labor Market Test: The Croatian authorities will perform a labor market test to ensure there is no suitable candidate from the EU/EEA available for the job. If the test is successful, the work permit can be granted.

  6. Visa Application: Once the work permit is approved, you will need to apply for a work visa at the Croatian embassy or consulate in Bangladesh. Required documents typically include:

    • Valid passport
    • Work permit approval
    • Proof of sufficient financial means
    • Proof of accommodation in Croatia
    • Health insurance
    • Educational and professional qualifications
    • Passport-sized photographs

  7. Residence Permit: After entering Croatia with the work visa, you will need to apply for a residence permit at the local police station in Croatia. The residence permit allows you to live and work in Croatia for the duration of your employment.

  8. Processing Times and Fees: Processing times and fees can vary depending on the specific circumstances of your application. Be sure to check with the Croatian embassy for the latest information.

It's important to note that Croatia is a member of the EU, and the work permit process may differ for citizens of EU/EEA countries compared to non-EU/EEA countries like Bangladesh. Therefore, having the support of an experienced immigration consultant or legal expert is highly recommended.
