Local Assistance
If you’re looking for personalized assistance with living in Croatia, our professional assistant Lucija Perić can help you with anything you might need on the ground in Croatia.
Obtain Croatian birth certificates
If you plan to apply for citizenship based on descent, you'll need the birth certificate of your ancestor. Older records are not digitized and can be much harder to find. Having someone on the ground in Croatia to research your ancestor will give you the best chance of finding the birth certificates you need.
Application for temporary residence in Croatia
There are many paths to temporary residence in Croatia. We can help you figure out the right path for you. Then, we can connect you with a vetted lawyer who can handle the entire process on your behalf.
Croatian tax liability evaluation
Croatia's income tax system is residence-based. That means that anyone residing in Croatia for more than 183 days is obligated to report and potentially pay income tax on their worldwide income. However, it's not that simple. We can connect you to a vetted tax advisor who can evaluate your liability to ensure there are no ugly surprises.
Application for Croatian Citizenship (based on descent)
If you have a Croatian ancestor, then you may qualify to apply for Croatian citizenship based on Article 11 of the Citizenship Act. We can help validate your claim as well as connect you to a vetted expert who can prepare your application from beginning to end.
Registration for Croatian Citizenship (for people with Croatian parents)
If you were born to a Croatian citizen then you may qualify to register for Croatian citizenship based on Article 5 of the Citizenship Act. We can help validate your claim as well as connect you to a vetted expert who can prepare your application from beginning to end.
