Yes, You can convert from student visa to work permit. You don't need to speak Croatia to obtain work permit

Good evening charmingsamson,

I hope you are doing well.
Please I would like to know if you process your visa application to Croatia from Nigeria through VFS Abuja?
If yes, please how long after submitting did you get a response from them?
I would like to know because their website said the visa will be ready within 45 days or more and now it is already 55 days and I’m yet to hear from them.

I have emailed them on Friday to know the status of my application and no response yet.
I’m very worried because my employer is already paying for my accommodation in Croatia and he’s not happy about the delay.

Can you advise me what else i can do?
Would it be okay to send them a another email?
Thank you and I shall await your response

mediafada:


Embassy is in South Africa, do you have to legalize at the embassy or just to legislation it at MFA

You actually submitted 3 days after mine. I submitted on the 13th of February.

I have not heard anything from them, I even sent them an email last week Thursday and no response yet. It was very strange because during the time I was looking for which Croatian embassy to legalize my police character, I emailed them few times and they usually reply within few hours.

So I’m wondering maybe they didn’t see my email and I’m thinking of resending but I’m not sure that will be a good idea because all these embassies sometimes have skoi skoi..

@ charmingsamson

Good afternoon, thank you for this information it helps alot.
I came across your post in March 2024 and I followed you and @Eky29 steps.
Lucky me an employer replied me last week and set up zoom interview yesterday, very straight forward guys.
I passed the first stage of interview and am moving to next stage which is panel interview with the team.
It's an administrative role, he asked me salary expectations but i think I did not research well on that area he said I can still make amendments in the next interview.
Please assit with the below questions should incase it comes up in the next interview stage I don't want to lose this opportunity:

1. Cost of living in Zagreb like housing, transport, feeding etc.
2. Everybody speaks english cause I have to relate with customers/clients.
3. Please what is like average salary of administrative staff. Google give me €27k per annual and that's like €2.2k per month.

@Eky29
Please kindly assit if there's any additional information or questions that might come up.
Since you have pass through this stage.

Thank you in advance i only have till Wednesday.

Hello OP, what is the best option for a 40yr old male with WAEC certificate. That wants to travel to Croatia for work

charmingsamson:
Hello Everyone, I am a Nigerian who recently moved to Croatia. I am surprised that I can hardly find any Nigerians, even Africans. It is a shame because Croatia is a nation thriving with steady growth in economics, boom infrastructure, and tourism. I am surprised there are any Nigerians coming to work here. Whenever I take a walk on the streets, it is full of Nepali and Indian nationals working in construction companies, bakers, cleaners, wolts, and other important sections where local nationals won't want to work. There are a lot of jobs here. The minimum wage here is 840–1000 euros. They have a very good health section and a beautiful seaside, which I think is the best in Europe. I haven't experienced any racism and the people are friendly, and mostly the women are very beautiful and they love black men. I will guide you on how to apply for a job in Croatia.

First, create a very good CV and create an account with Moj-posao.net. You need to translate the page because it is in Croatian. Click job for jobs for foreign workers in Croatia. https://www.moj-posao.net/HR/Izdvojeno/International/Foreign-Workers-Jobs-Croatia/   Start applying immediately. Please continue applying. Don't sleep or rest. another website for hiring foreigner https://brightfuture.hr/looking-for-a-job/ There are a lot of jobs for foreigners.

If you finally get a job, the Croatian Embassy visa application is handled by VFS Croatia in Abuja. It was straight-forward. High rate for visa approval for job applications. If you intend to study in Croatia, which is likely the easiest. Aspira University College in Split and Zagreb campuses is your best option. They offer a program in English with very cheap tuition fees. Study visa is straight-forward and easier. Please ask me any questions here. Please, nobody should DM me; I won't respond. We need very good Nigerian in Croatia. Croatians want foreigners who are likely to integrate very well into society. Learning Croatian is very important. Good luck.

charmingsamson:
I applied in Croatia with a Schengen visa, but a buddy applied in Abuja, and it took more than two months since VFS submitted it to the Croatian Embassy in South Africa, which then approved it by the Ministry of Interior in Croatia. Please be patient. Good luck.

mediafada:


@charmingsamson Did you apply for Schengen Visa from Nigeria then got your RP when you got to Croatia?.

Sopurusistus:

Please is there anyone that has relocated to Croatia through school route
Please what’s the minimum amount needed in both your personal bank statement and sponsors own

Eky29:

It goes this way
Legalization at the federal ministry of foreign affairs Abuja?
Authentication at the Nigerian High Commission London .
Legalization at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia London.
