Split for digital nomads: cost, visa, safety (2026)

Living in Split, in plain words

Written by the Navoy team. The numbers that back it up follow below.

Split is a Roman palace that became a city, and it sits on the Adriatic with the islands of Brač and Hvar visible from the waterfront. Croatia introduced one of Europe's early nomad permits, and Split, more than Zagreb, is where people use it: a mid-sized coastal city with a real year-round population, a ferry port, an airport and the kind of summer that explains the rest of the year.

That summer is also the problem. From June to September the old town belongs to cruise passengers and festival crowds, rents double for short lets, and locals retreat. Off season the city is quiet, affordable and very pleasant, and that is when nomads do best here. Internet is good, English is widespread, and the coast road and ferries make weekends easy. The permit requires proof of income and comes with an 18-month limit and a six-month cooling-off period, so it is a stay rather than a move.

Split suits people who want the Mediterranean at Croatian prices, with sailing, hiking and islands within reach, and who can arrive in autumn or spring. Those who need a big city or a winter social scene will find it small.

Do you pay tax here on income from abroad?

Tax status · Croatia

Worldwide tax at 15%–33%, but non-EU digital nomad permit holders pay none on their foreign work pay

Worldwide income

Croatian tax residents (a home or 183 days' stay) pay tax on their worldwide income: 15%–33% on salary and freelance profit, depending on the municipality, and a flat 12% on dividends, interest, capital gains and rent. Holders of the non-EU digital nomad permit pay no Croatian income tax on pay from a foreign employer or their own foreign company. Other income is still taxed. There is no wealth tax, and inheritance and gift tax is 4%.

On the nomad visa

Article 9(1)(26) of the Income Tax Act exempts from income tax receipts that individuals earn from employment or an activity for an employer not registered in Croatia, on the basis of acquired digital nomad status. It was added by NN 138/2020 and has applied since 1 January 2021. The Ministry of the Interior grants that status to non-EU nationals who work through communication technology for a foreign company or their own company registered outside Croatia, and who do not work for Croatian employers. It accepts an employment contract, a service contract with a foreign employer, or your own company's registration as proof. So employees and owners of their own foreign company are clearly covered. A freelancer with several foreign clients and no company falls outside the law's 'for an employer' wording. We found no Tax Administration guidance on that case, so treat it as uncertain. The exemption lasts only as long as the status, at most 18 months. It covers only that work income: dividends, interest, capital gains, rent and pensions are taxed normally if you are a Croatian tax resident. Your home country may still tax your salary.

Salary from a foreign employer or fees from foreign clients

Taxed15%–23% up to €60,000 a year and 25%–33% above it, at rates set by each municipality

This applies to ordinary residents: EU/EEA citizens, and non-EU nationals living in Croatia on any permit other than the digital nomad stay, including once that stay ends. Their salary from a foreign employer and their profit from foreign clients are taxed at the progressive rates of their municipality, after a personal allowance of €600 a month. Since 2024 there has been no local surtax. Instead, each municipality sets a lower and a higher rate within statutory bands. From 2025 the bands are 15%–20% and 25%–30% for municipalities, 15%–21% and 25%–31% for towns, 15%–22% and 25%–32% for large cities and county seats, and 15%–23% and 25%–33% for Zagreb. The higher rate applies to income above €60,000 a year. A municipality that adopts no rates gets 20% and 30% by default. Freelancers registered as sole traders whose receipts stay under the VAT registration threshold can choose flat-rate (lump-sum) taxation instead (see regimes). The catch: the digital nomad exemption covers only non-EU permit holders, and only for the life of the permit (at most 18 months). An EU citizen working remotely from Croatia, or a non-EU national who stays on after the permit, is taxed like everyone else. Social security contributions are a separate obligation and are not covered here. Foreign tax can be credited under a double tax treaty.
