Status of digital nomads - Croatia joined a global trend

The new Foreigners Act, the Republic of Croatia regulated the status of digital nomads and has joined a global trend.

Nomads are people who use information and communication technology for work that they can perform from anywhere in the world and therefore can choose their place of residence in the country of their choice.

The definition of digital nomads under the new Foreigners Act describes them as third-country citizens, ie a non-EU country or the Swiss Confederation, who perform work for a company or their own company that is not registered in the Republic of Croatia and does not perform work or provides services to employers in the Republic of Croatia. The law came into force on January 1, 2021, and allows digital nomads to apply for regulation of temporary residence for up to a year. After the expiration of one year, digital nomads will be able to re-apply for the regulation of temporary residence after the expiration of a period of six months from the expiration of the temporary residence.

In accordance with the regulation of the status of digital nomads, the Republic of Croatia also changed the tax legislation. Amendments to the Income Tax Act, which also entered into force on 1 January 2021, were not subject to personal income tax, the income of natural persons earned on the basis of self-employment or activity for an employer who is not registered in the Republic of Croatia on the basis of the acquired status of a digital nomad.

The Digital Nomad Association Croatia has been founded, and for this initiative and establishment is most responsible Jan de Jong, a Dutchman who has lived and worked in Split, Croatia for fifteen years, and he is committed to promoting Croatia in this regard.
