An EU national generally has the right to work for an employer or as a self-employed person in any EU country without a work permit. (Some restrictions are in place for Croatian citizens in some countries, and for some EU citizens in Croatia). This quick guide provides\u00a0important information you need to know before embarking on your career in another EU country.<\/p>\n
Regulated Professions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Some professions are regulated differently depending on the country, and employers may require that your qualifications, training and professional experience be officially recognised before you can start working. If you are moving on a short assignment (maximum of 2 years) you won\u2019t need your professional qualifications recognised, although you may need to make a written declaration for some professions.<\/p>\n To check whether you need to have your qualifications recognised, you can use the regulated professions database<\/a>. Beware that you will need to know the name of the job in the local language. If you cannot find your profession in the database, contact the national contact point in the country where you wish to work. They can also advise you on what you need to submit to the authorities.<\/p>\n
