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.

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.
