03The paperwork

The papers that wait for you in Croatia

Everything runs on your OIB, the personal identification number, and each office has its own role: the police for your stay, the tax office for taxes, the HZZO for health. Declaring your stay late costs a €20 fine.

04How Hello Expat helps

Your Croatian admin, in the right order

Hello Expat lists your steps in the order Croatia expects them, each with its official source and the date it was checked. Moovy, your personal assistant, is an AI: it answers with the page it used, and drafts the emails you send yourself.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Declare your address

    Staying more than three months? Tell the police where you live within 15 days of arriving, using form 6b (Obrazac 6b).

    Source: Croatian police (MUP)

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Declare your temporary stay and collect your OIB

    Go to your local police station no later than eight days after your first three months end, with form 1b. You leave with a free attestation, and the police give you your OIB on the spot, so there is no trip to the tax office.

    Source: Croatian police (MUP)

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Join the HZZO

    Not insured in another EU country? Register at the HZZO regional office within eight days of your stay being approved. Employees and pensioners with an S1 are covered another way. Then you choose your family doctor.

Example conversation

You

I am moving to Split from Germany. Do I have to go to the tax office to get my OIB?

Moovy

Usually not. When you declare your temporary stay at the police station, the police give you your OIB on the spot. You only go to the Porezna uprava, the tax administration, if you need the number earlier, for a bank account or a purchase. As an EU citizen, you can then ask for it online with an e-Građani login, or at the counter with the request form and your ID. Keep the OIB certificate: you will be asked for it often.

    Encrypted

    A vault for your papers

    Your documents are encrypted before they are stored, with a different key for each document, kept apart from our servers. Nobody on the team has a tool to open them. Moovy reads each document you add to file it, and every reading appears in your log. You can delete everything whenever you like.

    When Moovy reads a document, the text is processed by our AI provider, in the United States.

  • Tell us once
