Property Owners & Retirees Visa

Temporary residence permit for property owners and retirees. Property ownership: Must own residential property in Croatia and live there. Retirees 60+ who own property can renew more easily. Alternative: Prepaid 12-month rent allows 1-year residence. "Other purposes" permit for passive income requires minimum €460/month (€660 for couples). No dedicated retirement visa exists, but these options serve retirees well. All require health insurance and accommodation proof. Can lead to permanent residence after 5 years.
