Schiff Sovereign's Take on Croatia
If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, HBO’s popular series, then you’re likely a fan of Croatia.
The show famously features King’s Landing in Dubrovnik. Further north along the Croatian coast lies Split, home to the 1700-year old Diocletian’s Palace, and the Klis Fortress, both locations that feature in the series as well.
Dubrovnik and Split are typical Croatian coastal towns. The coastline is just spectacular, and these little towns are incredibly well preserved. In fact, we would argue that Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
It is also relatively inexpensive. All of this makes Croatia a nice place to visit, and a lovely place to live. (Refer to the case study we did on an American expat happily living in Croatia.)
If you can find pockets where English is widely spoken, spending time in Croatia can work fantastically well for you, too. And fortunately, spending longer periods of time in Croatia is not as hard as it used to be.
The country has introduced a Digital Nomad Visa, which allows you to spend up to 12 months there without having to pay taxes on your earned income.
For business and economic opportunities, however, Croatia puts up some major barriers. There’s still plenty of corruption and red tape. Navigating through government bureaucracy can be extremely hard, especially if you do not speak Croatian.
Keep this in mind if you plan to start a local business there, for example.
