- Earnings of the occupation group "Professionals": ≈ 1,931 EUR/month (gross, 2022)
- Regulation: Regulated
- Recognition route: General system of recognition - primary application; The Croatian government places regulated qualifications outside its seven automatic professions in the general system, which assesses education, knowledge, skills and experience; language proficiency may also be relevant. The precise teacher-title route and authority must be checked by the applicant's title and origin.
- Language requirement: For a third-country national who has resided in Croatia for at least one year on an Article 97 stay-and-work permit (or the specific Article 110(32) route), amended Foreigners Act Article 92.a requires a standardised Croatian-language and Latin-script test at basic A1.1 level, with proof for a new/renewed covered permit. The Act identifies approved language schools, universities and authorised adult-education providers as test providers; exemptions include Croatian-educated applicants, speakers of a South-Slavic-subgroup language, and seasonal workers. This is an immigration-permit condition, not a profession-licensing language rule.
- EU Blue Card threshold: 36,288 €/year (current)
