What a well-run Croatia hire involves.

Written for the HR or procurement manager who signs off a recruitment file from Pakistan. Send us the details below and within one business day you will have a feasibility note, a shortlist plan and an honest estimate in weeks.

Your part (employer)

  • HZZ labour-market test and Form 17a accommodation declaration
  • Employer OIB and employment contract
  • Croatia has no embassy in Pakistan, so we file the visa through the competent mission or VFS

Our part (in Pakistan)

  • Search and trade test against your job description (video or photo file if you want it)
  • Police certificate, passport check and PakSoftSkills pre-departure registration
  • Form 18a health and vaccination file from a licensed doctor in Pakistan
  • Protector of Emigrants clearance under OEP 2868/RWP
  • Tickets and airport assistance from Islamabad and Rawalpindi

How long it usually takes

Fastest: 8–10 weeks
Usual: 10–14 weeks
If the medical, quota or embassy is delayed: 16 weeks

Who pays for what

What you pay us: nothing for sourcing, screening, trade testing or the shortlist pack.

Paid by the employer or in Bahrain: work permit and visa fees, any medical the destination requires, the air ticket (unless the contract says otherwise), wages, food, housing and insurance under local law.

Replacement: if a selected worker fails the medical or absconds within the agreed period, we find a replacement with no extra agency fee. Re-issuing the ticket or visa follows the terms of the demand letter.

We send copies of our licence and ISO certificate with the feasibility note on request.

Why Croatia, and why this year

By April 2026 Croatia had more than 105,000 valid work and residence permits for foreign nationals, and warehouse workers (skladištar), forklift drivers (viličarist) and construction trades remain among the most sought-after occupations. As local labour gets scarcer, more Croatian employers are hiring tested workers from Pakistan.

Trades we place with Croatian employers

  • Warehouse staff (skladištar)
  • Forklift drivers (viličarist)
  • General labourers and construction helpers
  • Factory and production line operators
  • Professional truck and bus drivers, under Croatia's 2026 long-term visa rules
  • Hotel and housekeeping staff
  • Forecourt attendants, tyre fitters and car wash staff

How we work through Croatia's 2026 permit process

Since the April 2026 Ordinance (NN 43/2026) and the May 2026 Aliens Act amendments (NN 55/2026), Croatian employers face new documentation and eligibility requirements. Crown manages the candidate side of this process so your HR team doesn't have to:

  • Form 18a — the health and vaccination certificate, arranged with a licensed doctor in Pakistan (chest X-ray, stool culture and diphtheria-tetanus, polio and measles vaccination records) and completed within the validity periods required before travel.
  • Candidate paperwork — passport, police clearance, trade certificates and Pakistani documents prepared alongside your Form 17a accommodation declaration and the HZZ labour-market test.
  • Visa arrangements — because there is no Croatian embassy in Pakistan, we arrange submission through the appropriate Croatian mission or VFS Global centre.
  • Staying compliant — we help you plan for the new 10% domestic-workforce ratio and the 12-month financial check brought in by the 2026 amendments, so your request does not get stuck at the HZZ opinion stage.
