Croatia has been a member of the European Union since 2013, located close to several EU member states. Croatia plans to adopt the EURO in 2023.

Thanks to modern motorways and numerous airports located near major coastal towns such as Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik in Dalmatia, you can travel to Croatia from different parts of Europe in just a few hours.

Real estate prices

Given that real estate prices in big cities are on an upward trend, real estate prices on the Adriatic are still acceptable to investors. Also, compared to other European countries, average real estate prices in Croatia are still slightly lower. This means that investors from all over Europe buy everything that Croatia offers them. Croatia is ideal for buyers who do not like risk and want to invest in something profitable.

Real estate as an investment

Europeans who buy real estate as an investment in Croatia most often do so by renting the exact property to tourists when they are not using it themselves. Modern villas or apartments with sea views are trendy. Croatia is considered a destination with great potential, in which real estate prices are constantly rising, and a significant increase in real estate prices is expected in the coming years.

Minimum barriers for foreign investors

Whether a country makes it easier for foreigners to engage in business is very important when investing in a foreign country’s economic environment. Croatia provides for the smooth establishment of companies. In contrast, the owner of a company in Croatia can be a natural person (EU citizen) or a legal entity (a company operating in the EU). With Croatia’s membership in the EU, all your business and investments are protected by international laws and EU regulations.
