How long does Croatia's digital nomad stay last, and can it be extended?

The digital nomad temporary stay is issued for a maximum of 18 months. Within that window it covers your residence, but it is deliberately time-limited rather than a long-term route.

Once the permit expires you cannot immediately roll into a fresh one. The rules require a six-month gap before you may submit a new digital nomad application. If you want to stay continuously beyond the maximum, you generally need to switch to a different residence category that suits your situation.
