ZAGREB, 18 February 2021 - The government on Thursday sent to parliament amendments to the law on the compulsory health insurance and healthcare of aliens to align it with the parts of the Aliens Act regulating digital nomads' right to healthcare.
The amendments allow digital nomads to exercise their right to healthcare. They are third-country citizens who work for companies which are not registered in Croatia, who do not work for employers in Croatia and who have been granted temporary residence in Croatia.
Digital nomads are not required to register for compulsory health insurance and they are obliged to cover the costs of healthcare in a medical facility in Croatia, Health Minister Vili Beroš said at a cabinet meeting.
