How do I apply for EU long-term residence in Croatia and what does it cost?

Applications are filed at the police administration or station responsible for the area where you live. The Ministry of the Interior makes the final decision on whether long-term residence is granted.

There are official fees: a decision fee for the long-term residence application, and a separate charge for the biometric residence permit, with an accelerated option costing more. Because amounts and reference-number rules can change, confirm the current fees and payment details on the official Ministry of the Interior page before paying.
