Though the right to live and work in Croatia and the EU is often seen as the primary benefit of holding Croatian citizenship, applicants may not know that Croatian Citizenship offers many benefits.
Croatian citizens who acquire their citizenship through descent are currently eligible to return to Croatia and live there without paying income tax for five years upon returning. This is often overlooked, but can be a tremendous incentive for remote workers and expats alike.
Access to healthcare in all EU member states is also guaranteed once citizenship to the Republic of Croatia is granted. This can help you save on travel insurance when visiting Europe and can make the process of moving to the EU less stressful.
Croatian citizenship also makes you eligible for a Croatian passport, which comes with fewer travel restrictions than a US passport. Croatian citizens enjoy fewer restrictions when traveling to countries such as Venezuela, Pakistan, Russia, and Belarus to name a few.
