Student life & Accommodation

Health Insurance

The health and safety of international students and scholars at ZSEM is our primary concern. Not only does ZSEM academic rigor cause stress, but a new, unfamiliar environment can compound the pressure that you may already be experiencing.

It is very important to obtain International Health Insurance that covers any eventual situation during the coming, returning and staying in Croatia. Your insurance card must be valid for the period of staying and the date of expiry must be clearly visible on the document. EU students must have a valid European Health Insurance card.

Visa and Temporary Stay Permit

  • Temporary Stay Permit

    Students are required to check whether their nationalities require a Visa to come to Croatia.

    1. If you’re from a country that doesn’t require a Visa to enter Croatia:
    • You can begin obtaining the Temporary Stay Permit once you’re in Croatia.
    • You must start this process within three days of your arrival.

    2. If you’re from a country that requires a Visa to enter Croatia:

    • Contact the nearest Croatian Embassy or Consulate for information on the Visa application process. You have to apply for the Schengen visa (visa type C)
    • Ensure you start and complete this process before arriving in Croatia. This process typically takes several months. While ZSEM will provide necessary documents like the Acceptance letter, it’s your responsibility to obtain the Visa.

    To check if your country requires a Visa for entry into Croatia and its eligibility, please refer to this link.

  • OIB Number

    Students are required to obtain an OIB number once they arrive in Croatia. An OIB number is a unique identification number assigned to every inhabitant in Croatia regardless of whether they are in Croatia for a short or longer period of time.

    The OIB number is important for:

    • Opening a bank account in Croatia
    • For getting your student X-card (only for EU-students)
    • For getting your Public Transport Pass (ZET card)
    • For signing any contract in Croatia (job, etc.)
    • For signing up to city libraries

    To get your OIB number you should go to the Main Tax Office in Avenija Dubrovnik 32 (working hours – from 8 – 15h).

    EU-students will also get their OIB from the police once they get their Temporary Stay Permit, however, since this can take a long time, we recommend both EU and non-EU students to go get their OIB from the Main Tax Office (you will get your OIB there in 10 minutes). It’s very important though that you bring the paper with your OIB to the police once you come to pick up your Temporary Stay Permit.

    You need to bring a copy of your passport/ID with yourself to the Main Tax Office.
