Learn about Expat Life in Croatia

On the cusp of the Adriatic Sea you’ll find Croatia, a beautiful country with a rich tapestry of heritage and culture. Croatia offers a relaxed lifestyle and a warm climate but with the lively up and coming feel of a country with something extra special to give. Expats in Croatia get the best of both worlds, as miles of clear blue sea and pebble beaches sit comfortably next to the bustling metropolises of Split, Zagreb, and Dubrovnik; which, while famous for their historic beauty, are fast becoming regarded as major European cities. Since becoming a member of the European Union in 2013, Croatia has been an increasingly popular destination for expats looking to start a new life abroad. Croatia offers somewhere where your child can have a free education and where the economy and healthcare systems are robust enough to build a life to the standard you're accustomed to. After a hard day’s work you can settle into a long, picturesque walk along the walls of the Old Town in Dubrovnik, or simply take it all in with a peaceful evening at the harbor in Split. With Croatia’s extensive, and largely new railway and road infrastructure, getting around is easy so a trip out to other picturesque parts of the country is a breeze. If you think Croatia is not for you then there are plenty of other communities to explore with InterNations.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Spain or Saudi Arabia, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Your Friendly Network for Expats in Croatia

By joining InterNations, you’re not just logging into a website — you’re opening the door to a new life. InterNations unlocks a whole new community of friends and like-minded expatriates with whom you can share stories, hints, and tips about the new country you call home. We recognize that starting a new life in a new country can be daunting, which is why we not only offer a supportive online community of friends, but give you the chance to meet up in real life too, whether that be as part of a local group who meet up to indulge a shared interest, or at larger networking events organized by us here at InterNations.
