Croatia extends the validity period of the EU Blue Card

17.10.2024 The country is preparing amendments to the Law on Foreigners: The EU Blue Card will become valid for 4 years, which will significantly increase the duration of stay of highly qualified foreign workers in Croatia.

Since the extension of the validity period of the Blue Card, it is possible to solve the problem of labor shortage in the country, as well as providing foreign workers with more opportunities for employment.

The country also plans to expand the criteria for obtaining an EU Blue Card: work experience in the field of information technology will be taken into account, even if the foreigner does not have the necessary educational qualifications. The applications of this group of employees will be evaluated by a special committee that will be established to consider such issues.
