Croatia: New EU member as of July 1, 2013

As of July 1, 2013, Croatia will be the 28th member of the European Union. The Dutch government however has, as a result of the difficult economic situation in the Netherlands, placed restrictions on the employment of personnel with the nationality from Croatia. For at least the next two years it will still be obligatory to obtain a work permit for the Netherlands for Croatian nationals. The restrictions can be kept in place for a maximum of seven years.
