Croatia Visa And Residency Information

Having Croatian citizenship can open up new opportunities for work, investment, and personal enrichment. Although it isn’t always easy, you can obtain Croatia citizenship if you have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years.

Your application for citizenship will be processed by the Croatian police (MUP).

Here is a list of some of the documents required for your citizenship application:

• Documents proving identity
• Education or work permits
• Proof of Croatian address
• Marital status documents
• Identification documents for parents and/or children

Expect to give more information on why you are applying for citizenship and your knowledge of Croatian culture and customs. If you live in Croatia and immerse yourself in the culture (e.g. joining sports clubs, participating in cultural traditions), you are more likely to have your citizenship approved.

Providing a general statement about your interest and intentions for citizenship will be a rule for the application process.
