Do Croatian citizens need German language certificate for B work permit?

It says everywhere EU citizens don't need it, is Croatia included here then?

you don't need a certificate. your company needs to prove you are the only one for them since again this year they removed us from "standard" EU job market here in Switzerland.

Re: Do Croatian citizens need German language certificate for B work permit?

I understand this differently:

"Der gesuchstellenden Person und vor allem auch ihrem Arbeitgeber kann die Erteilung einer
bestimmten Aufenthaltsbewilligung im Voraus in Form einer Verfügung verbindlich
zugesichert werden.
Die Erwerbstätigkeit darf nicht vor Erteilung der Bewilligung aufgenommen werden und steht
unter der Voraussetzung, dass ein entsprechendes Kontingent verfügbar ist.5
Ist das
Kontingent ausgeschöpft, werden die gesuchstellenden Personen auf den nächsten
Kontingentsfreigabetermin verwiesen. "


Means you can't as e.g. German people come and work and than ask for a permit. you need to ensure that there is a permit for you. meaning your employer should get you the permit. because they will not give you a contract if they don't know that you can start to work

This is clear, this was my understanding as well, but mostly worried about the certificate requirement.

"If you are an EU-citizen you will be able to apply for your B-Permit even without any language skills. However, as a non-EU citizen you will have to prove that you have A1 speaking & A1 writing skills in German (this is only applicable for the German speaking part of Switzerland). The same conditions apply if you need to renew your B-permit. If you are looking for more detailed information on Swiss work & residence permits check out my last blog article."

https://german-academy-zurich.ch/swi...-telc-a1-exam/

Are Croatian citizens considered EU citizens when it comes to the language requirement then? I couldn't find anything official searching the web, and this looks like a fairly new requirement introduced just a few years ago, so people who have started in 2019 or earlier didn't need it irrespective of the country.

If this is the case, that would definitely help all new job seekers!

Croatian citizens are EU citizens, so don't worry about that. you will have to prove German level for C permit, for B no.
