If you’re looking for personalized expert assistance with living in Croatia, our relocation specialist Lucija Perić can help you with anything you might need on the ground in Croatia.
Born and raised near Split, Lucija has spent most of her life in Zagreb, as well as Germany and Serbia. She has been helping foreigners navigate the Croatian system and get settled in the Split area since 2018.
From her time living abroad, she knows how hard it can be setting up life in a new country, or even after returning to one’s home country after living abroad.
Lucija’s clients benefit from her extensive experience with Croatian bureaucracy (as well as bureaucracies abroad), back door connections and knowledge of how to get things done in this country where too often it feels like things can never been done. Whether it’s communicating with the police or negotiating with a landlord, Lucija is fully dedicated to understanding your needs, informing you of all possibilities and risks, providing detailed updates throughout the process and eliminating as much stress as possible.
Lucija can help you with most in-person tasks or situations in which a power of attorney is not required.

This review is a tad late but we wanted to make 100% sure we thanked our friends in Split Croatia who helped us realize our dreams during a very stressful period in our lives. In early 2022, Oksana and I were left homeless because of the war in Ukraine. We contacted Ms Peric and the folks at Expat in Croatia. Lucija immediately found us an apartment that was centrally located in the city center of Split. From there, she organized showings of local apartments and homes for us to rent. She found us the perfect place for us to live. She located a small but perfectly situated home on the outskirts of Split. Lucija organized all of our contractual papers with the city, our immigration documents with the police and coordinated the entire rental agreement with the landlord, as well as setting up our utility services. Life marches on, and we have since relocated to the USA. Even so, we are so in love with the Croatia lifestyle that we are going to look at buying a new or used home, or possibly lease a home long-term. Awesome job and thank you Ms Lucija Peric!

I needed help with finding an apartment when I moved to Split and Lucija found a great apartment for me and made the process very stress-free. She was there for finding my apartment, working with the landlord, getting the lease motorized, and address registered with the police. When it was time for me to apply for the Digital Nomad permit, all of my apartment paperwork was squared away. Lucija has a great knowledge of the systems here in Croatia and she made the whole process less stressful for me, can’t recommend her enough!

The entire crew was very professional. Sara has great enthusiasm for her work and has recruited a great team. Lucija has provided timely and consistent support for many matters big and small. Even though I have lived as an expat in a few different countries before, this is first experience as a retiree, without an employer doing all the background work. Not sure how I would have done it without Lucija.
