Which exceptional-talent, academic, scientific, artistic, technological, cultural or other profiles does the pathway target?

The route targets scientific researchers arriving on the basis of a hosting agreement with a research organisation; the hosting agreement, not a talent assessment, defines the profile.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The sentence is about where visa-required nationals may apply; it names the profile as 'scientific researchers arriving on the basis of a hosting agreement'. No discipline, seniority or field is specified on any page read.
  • chars 1941-2620
    Exceptionally, third-country nationals who are required to have a visa to enter the Republic of Croatia may also apply for temporary stay at a police administration/police station if they are: close family members of a Croatian citizen, life partners or informal life partners of a Croatian citizen, arriving for the purpose of studying at a university at undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate level, scientific researchers arriving on the basis of a hosting agreement, close family members of third-country nationals referred to in items 3 and 4, submitting an application for temporary stay on humanitarian grounds, family members of an EU Blue Card holder.

What achievements, recognition, awards, publications, reputation or other evidence establishes the required level?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the achievements or evidence that establish the required level.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No achievement, publication, award or reputation standard is published. The Croatian index page (2.g) and the FAQ only require a hosting agreement (ugovor o gostovanju); the FAQ's proof-of-means rule for research is a copy of the hosting agreement at first application and six payslips at renewal. Searched captures 6190, 54f0 (section 2.g and 'PRAVA ISTRAŽIVAČA'), 6a9a and 90ca for 'znanstven', 'istraživ', 'publik', 'nagrad', 'research'.

Is an employer, nominator, recognised body, peer group or government endorsement required?

Yes: a hosting agreement (ugovor o gostovanju) with a host organisation is required; if the host holds a five-year accreditation to host researchers, the researcher is also exempt from proving health insurance.

    Privremeni boravak u svrhu istraživanja odobrit će se državljaninu treće zemlje ako: ima ugovor o gostovanju i ispunjava opće uvjete za odobrenje privremenog boravka ili ima ugovor o gostovanju sklopljen s pravnom osobom koja ima akreditaciju za ugošćavanje istraživača u trajanju od pet godina i ispunjava uvjete za odobrenje privremenog boravka, te zbog akreditacije, nije dužan u postupku odobrenja prilagati dokaz o zdravstvenom osiguranju

Can the holder change employer, work independently, establish a business or conduct other professional activity? What is the family position?

Besides research, the researcher may teach at the hosting research institution, which may set a maximum number of teaching hours or days; this also applies to researchers on short- or long-term mobility. The official source does not state whether the holder may change employer, work independently or start a business, or the family position.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Changing employer, self-employment or starting a business are not addressed on the pages read.
  • The work page (capture 90ca…) lists 'temporary stay for the purpose of research (Article 74)' and family members of such researchers among those who may work without a permit - not in this citation.
  • Family: the temporary-stay page lets close family members of researchers apply in-country at the police (capture 6190…, line ~195) - not in this citation.
  • chars 39560-39811
    Istraživač kojem je odobren privremeni boravak u svrhu istraživanja, kao i istraživač na kratkoročnoj ili dugoročnoj mobilnosti može podučavati na istraživačkoj ustanovi koja ga ugošćuje, a koja može odrediti maksimalni broj sati ili dana podučavanja.

What duration, renewal and accelerated or normal longer-term residence pathway is officially stated?

Granted for up to one year; up to two years for researchers covered by Union or multilateral programmes that include mobility measures. The official source does not state a research-specific renewal rule or a longer-term residence path.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No research-specific renewal rule; the general rule is renewal at the police administration at least 60 days before expiry (capture 54f0…, 2.m).
  • Long-term residence: research stay is not among the categories excluded from the five-year count on the permanent-stay page (capture 8ad2…), so it appears to count fully - an inference from the exclusion list, not a stated rule.
  • chars 39272-39558
    Odobrenje za privremeni boravak u svrhu istraživanja izdaje se s rokom važenja do godine dana, a odobrenje za privremeni boravak za istraživače koji su obuhvaćeni programima Unije ili multilateralnim programima koji obuhvaćaju mjere mobilnosti izdaje se s rokom važenja do dvije godine.
