Planning to move or work temporarily from Dalmatia as a digital nomad? Split is a fantastic choice — a seaside city with rich history, vibrant cafés, and excellent infrastructure for remote work. But before you pack your bags, you’re probably wondering: What do I actually need to bring?
No worries — we’ve put together a practical guide to help you arrive fully prepared. At the end of the article, you’ll also find useful info about what’s already provided in our apartment, so you can travel light.
Essential Tech
No matter how minimalist you travel, these are the tech items every digital nomad simply needs:
- Laptop and charger
- Smartphone + power bank
- Adapter for European plug standards (if you’re coming from outside the EU)
- USB-C hub (if your laptop has limited ports)
- Wireless headphones with microphone (ideal for calls)
- External hard drive or cloud backup solution
At Apartment Nevena, a work monitor is already waiting for you — so you can lighten your backpack and leave the extra screen at home!
Documents and Papers
Croatia is friendly toward digital nomads, but always keep these on hand:
- Passport (valid for at least 3–6 months)
- Proof of health insurance
- Confirmation of employment or freelance work
- Digital Nomad Visa documents (if staying longer than 90 days)
- Driver’s license (if you plan to rent a car or scooter)
Clothing and Footwear
Split has a mild Mediterranean climate, but there are still seasonal changes to consider:
- Light clothing for spring/summer (T-shirts, shorts, light dresses)
- A jacket or sweater for evenings and autumn/winter
- Comfortable shoes for walking on stone streets and trips
- Sportswear if you plan to hit the gym (which we highly recommend!)
- Swimsuit and beach towel
- Umbrella or light raincoat for occasional showers
Digital nomad: mental preparation
- Be ready for a slower pace of life — Dalmatia has its own rhythm. There’s no rush, but everything gets done.
- Stay open to local customs and conversations — learn a few Croatian words; locals really appreciate it.
- Know that you’ll probably want to stay longer than you planned. 😊
