Croatia Digital Nomad means of subsistence document requirements
This guide summarizes the documents required for the application and their submission conditions.
Checked: 2026-08-28
What you need to prepare
- The means of subsistence evidence is prepared as a single PDF file.
- File-size limit confirmed in the official record: within 2 MB. This binding applies to the means block and is not generalised to the other application documents.
- The file and its contents must be clearly labelled, in Croatian or English (a translation by an authorized translator is acceptable), and the currency of the funds must be stated, as officially required.
- Page count, minimum size, colour, page ranges, and merge policy are not specified by the authority and are not stated in the official guidance.
- Proof of health insurance is required as a separate document from the means of subsistence evidence (its own upload slot on the portal): travel or private insurance must cover the territory of Croatia for the period of your stay. The file must be in Croatian or English (a translation by an authorized translator is acceptable), as officially required.
Required documents and conditions
For a Croatia digital nomad temporary stay application (MUP), the means of subsistence evidence (bank statements totalling 12/18 months, a regular-income statement, or payslips for at least 6 months) is prepared as a single PDF. The officially confirmed requirements are the PDF format and the 2MB cap; page count, colour, and similar details are not specified in the published guidance.
The tool does not alter the document contents (format conversion, compression, page combination, and orientation only). No photo is required at the application-document stage; the biometric residence card photo and biometrics are provided in person after approval (a separate step).
The health insurance proof is one of the MUP application enclosures (item 3). The authority specifies the insurance type (travel / private), the covered territory (Croatia), and the period (your stay), but publishes no minimum coverage amount and no format or page requirements. The tool does not validate the insurance contents; it only prepares the document as a single PDF (PDF output is a product-side composition, not an official format requirement).
What to check before you submit
Page counts, colours, and merge policies are not stated by the official source. Confirm the current conditions in the official portal before submission.
Using the web tool

Frequently asked questions
What is the PDF file-size limit?
The official requirement is at most 2MB (the basis for this limit is not specified in the published guidance). The tool outputs a PDF within this limit. The limit binds the means block and is not generalised to the other application documents.
What are the language and labelling conditions?
The file must be clearly labelled and in Croatian or English (a translation by an authorized translator is acceptable), and the currency of the funds must be stated.
Do I also need to prepare a face photo?
No. No photo is required at the application-document stage. The biometric residence card photo and biometrics are provided in person after approval (a separate step).
Do I also need to prepare proof of health insurance?
Yes. The MUP online application requires a health insurance proof in its own upload slot: travel or private insurance covering the territory of Croatia for the period of your stay, in Croatian or English (authorized translation acceptable). No minimum coverage amount is published, and the tool does not judge the insurance contents.
