Is there a waiting period before I can bring my family to Croatia?

Croatia does not always allow immediate reunification. If your status is based on a one-year work permit, the rules require you to have held temporary stay for at least a year before your family can join you.

This waiting period is meant to establish that your own residence is settled before relatives are admitted. The exact timing depends on the basis of your stay, so it is worth confirming your category and how long you need to have been resident before starting the family applications.
