As you probably know, all foreign visitors to Croatia are required to go to a Police station within 24 hours of arrival to apply for temporary residency. I will be visiting Croatia frequently over the coming months and staying a few days each time. I will be driving in from Hungary and crossing the border at Gola.
My question concerns which Police stations I am allowed to use for this. Ideally I would do it at the border crossing but it sounds like that may not be allowed. My destination in Croatia is in Koprivnicko-Krizevacka county, but if I have to go to the police station in Koprivnica it will add a considerable distance to my journey. I see there is a police station at Đurđevac which would mean a smaller diversion but I don't know if they deal with temporary residency there?

Maybe confusing residency with registering as a tourist? If the latter just go to local tourist office if they have one.

Perhaps it is not called temporary residency but you definitely have to report to a Police station within 24 hours of arriving in Croatia. I asked at the border crossing and fortunately they were able to register me there.

This is what my friend Sandra in Varazdin told me:
"Regardin the application to the police whenever you want to stay longer gan 24 hours in Croatia, to me it looks like a stupid rule. I wasn't even aware of that until one british couchsurfer told me about it. So i went there with her and her passport to the poluce station - office for foreigners. We didn't pay anything for that and it took us 2 minutes to do that. The police lady told me that it's necessary to do that because tgey need to know where soneone is in case something like war... Happens. By the way, you can pay a fine if they catch you. The same rule about foreigners applying (you just have to tell them how many days you're planning to stay and, i guess, why) is valid in Slovenia as well (i don't know whether this is against eu rules) because one of my slovenian friends told me about it. He had a friend from croatia staying at his flat in ljubljana and the police was checking something and they almost paid a fine of 500 eur."

That's right January,
If you are staying in a hotel, apartment or on a campsite you have to be registrated and pay tourist tax.
If you have your own house and you are a EU citizen you don't have to do anything, no registration whatsoever.
If you have your own house and you aren't a EU citizen you have to get a Registration and cancelation of residence or registration of change of address.

I'm confused !!
Rene78 is saying that January is right ... but January is saying that according to the uk gov website, you must register with the police. Rene78 is saying that you have 'no registration whatsoever' Surely only one of these positions can be correct.

We register with the Tourist Office in Jelsa, Out of season there is no tax in season there is a small amount to pay. Holiday home owners pay less tax than other tourists.

We have a holiday home on Hvar and register with the local Tourist Office. Out of season there is no tax to pay in season a small amount, much less than tourists.

In the Dubrovnik region, 60kn per person for owners to cover whole year, but we have to register our "presence" each time we are there, for statistical
reason so the TO said.
