Thank you for that detailed message. Especially helpful for the implant industry that is building. I live in Split and I found a great family practice that I feel very safe with. They meet all the criteria you mentioned above. (Maybe not the ... Read More
Know more about Split, our 'New Home' - Temporary residence? by angelacolville
Hello! My husband and I live in Chicago, he has a business here in the States but are very interested in eventual renewable temporary residence in Croatia and will be visiting this winter to do some recon. We have been to Split, Zagreb and Dubrovnik ...
Nope, doesn't make sense at all. Why pay for insurance when you're not here? I can see paying for it if you travel from here, but you're living here. It seems like a bit of a scam to me. I know in Canada where insurance is automatic upon ... Read More

Hi. Yes, she does. They have a place below us that is the same size as our place with a little different configuration and then a smaller place in the basement which is half below ground, if you know what I mean. I don't understand the 12 months ... Read More

I don't know if I can explain it better. We opened a bank account after getting our OIB, a number you need to do business in Croatia and open bank accounts. We put 2700 kunas x 12, plus 500 kunas x 12 into our bank account. This money you are ... Read More

Hi. The thing to know about moving here is if you don't have health insurance, get Croatian travel health insurance. When you get that, they issue you an OIB. With that you can open a bank account, see doctors (as mentioned below) and rent an ... Read More
Do very few people rent their homes in Croatia?
In Split there are many furnished and unfurnished apartments for rent. The problem here is that many only rent long term from September 1st to July 1st since they can make so much money in July and August. Our apartment would be only 500 Euros a ... Read More

I just finished up what turned out to be a cracked root on a crowned tooth. Dario tried everything to save it before we extracted it today. His prices are reasonable and posted in the reception area. Here is his information. He is on vacation from ... Read More
food quality and choice in touristic restaurants. by BIG JOCK
I have lived in Croatia (central Dalmatia) for 17 years and the food has not changed. Croatian restaurants provide domestic food. Nothing exotic. Now i like domestic food. But my parents in law cook it just fine. Thats what domestic food is after ...
We've only been here 2 months and I agree with a lot of what Jock had to say. In Split there is a restaurant I go as often as I can afford it. Perivoj near the main law courts and a short walk from the palace. It is creative and the desserts are ... Read More
In retrospect, would you move again to Croatia? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Croatia, would you heartily say "let聮s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
We were lucky. The hostess of the Airbnb we stayed in had just had a long time friend talk with her family having an apartment they wanted to rent long term. It was just a fluke, I think. When we met our landlord, he liked us right away and we were ... Read More
Dealing with emergency situations in Croatia
I am hoping there will be some information here soon. We are very near a hospital, but short of asking our landlord what to do, I am uninformed. The last country we lived in had very complicated rules regarding death of an "alien" in ... Read More

Yes I would. We decided to move here last September 2015. We planned to move here as soon as possible which turned out to be March 17, 2016. We chose to come by cruise ship from Fort Lauderdale, FL because at the time of planning (October) it was ... Read More
Essentials to live in Croatia by Christine
Hi, As an expat living in Croatia, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along? What are the items you can easily find in Croatia? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive? Share with us what you would ...
Your place in Rijeka sounded great! It must have been very hard to leave. We loved Rijeka when we were there. We were close to the north beaches and very close to Opatija. I would need a car there, I think. Although the bus system looked ... Read More

Thanks, Ellen. I live in Cuenca, Ecuador now. We moved here 3 1/2 years ago thinking this would be IT but the high altitude is not good for my husband's health. After this move here, I have decided we won't be renting anything but furnished ... Read More

Does anyone have things sent from Amazon to Croatia? Mostly kitchen things - knives, utensils - that kind of thing. Any other shopping sites they can tell me about that will deliver to Croatia? Thanks, Read More

Hi all, Newbie on the Croatia forum? Don聮t know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on ...
It was great to be able to talk about it. Finding a way to move with extra luggage and not going broke was the trick. Brian needs leg room so we can't fly in economy. So we compared prices for flying one way first class (that would be free ... Read More

Hi, I don't know if our story will help, but here it is. We live in Cuenca, Ecuador at 8200 ft. It is hard on us but most of all I am a fisherman's daughter, so I miss the sea. Fortunately, my husband agrees that it is time to move to the ... Read More

I've been an expat ever since I moved from my home in the Lower Mainland of BC, Canada. We moved, so my husband could teach elementary school, to a 6 mile long island you could only get to be a car ferry and a sea plane from Vancouver Island. ... Read More
