Corridor at a glance

Construction in Croatia — Working roles.

Construction is one of the categories where Croatia most often needs foreign workers, because of housing, tourism infrastructure and public works on the coast and in inland cities. Before sponsoring you, employers ask HZZ for a labour market test (test tržišta rada) and then apply for the stay-and-work permit with Form 17a (the employer's housing declaration) and your Form 18a health certificate, which you complete in Pakistan before travel. From offer to arrival usually takes about 10–14 weeks once the documents, the labour market test and the medical are done.
