It is not necessary to have secured an affiliation at the time of application; however, grantees must submit evidence of an affiliation at least three months before arriving in Croatia.
Affiliation Fees/Tuition
Most Croatian institutions do not charge affiliation fees and the Ministry of Science and Education has traditionally provided lab and office resources to Fulbright research students without cost. Please note that it is the responsibility of the candidate to coordinate any fees or waivers with their affiliation.

Visa requirements
First Residence Permit: The Croatian government passed a new law for foreigners similar to residency and entry laws for European Union member states. The law stipulates that foreign citizens planning to stay in Croatia longer than 90 days must apply for the First Residence Permit (for a period covering their entire stay in Croatia). For detailed instructions on the procedure and required documents please refer to the Handbook for Fulbright Grantees in Croatia that will be provided to all grantees as part of pre-departure materials.
