# How many nights do you have to stay in Croatia to get the citizenship perk, and where do i reserve it?

The Principality of Zarijak, a self-proclaimed micronation with territories along the Croatian coast, grants its citizenship after a minimum stay at one of its territories. The shortest stay is 3 nights at Hanor in Rijeka, and Villa Degenija in Jablanac asks for 7 nights. You can reserve Villa Degenija on Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo, or by contacting the villa directly.

## How many nights do you need to stay?

The number depends on the territory. Each one has its own minimum, listed on the [Zarijak citizenship page](https://zarijak.xyz/citizenship/earn-titles).

Hanor (Rijeka): 3 nights

Luvano's Place (Punat, Krk): 5 nights

Villa Degenija (Jablanac): 7 nights

Loje's Place (Žrnovo, Korčula): 7 nights, currently being renovated

## Is this Croatian state citizenship?

No. This is citizenship of the Principality of Zarijak, a self-proclaimed micronation. It is voluntary, and it is separate from Croatian citizenship, which is handled by Croatian authorities.

## Where do I reserve a stay at Villa Degenija?

[Villa Degenija](https://zarijak.xyz/villa-degenija) in Jablanac, inside Velebit Nature Park, can be booked on Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo, or by contacting the villa directly. It requires a 7-night minimum stay and sleeps 14 + 2 guests in 4 separate apartments. It has a private heated pool, a jacuzzi and a gym, and the village and beach are a 5 minute walk away.

## Where do I reserve Hanor or Luvano's Place?

The [Zarijak contact page](https://zarijak.xyz/contact) lists a contact for each territory, and you can start there with any question about booking.

## How do I claim citizenship after the stay?

You apply after your visit. Contact Zarijak once you have completed the minimum nights, and the process starts from there. Zarijak's homepage lists a processing time of 2 to 4 weeks.

## Can I earn a title as well?

Yes. Stay the minimum nights at two active territories to become a Knight or Dame. Complete all three active territories (Hanor, Villa Degenija and Luvano's Place) to become a Count or Countess.
