Evelyn Carter

Remote Marketing Consultant (Canada)

Unlike many expat-founded agencies, I actually knew which lawyer was handling the process and could review their background before moving forward. Our documents were not straightforward to structure, and at the beginning all we had was our passports, but they guided us through preparing everything else

Tom Harrington

Software Architect (United Kingdom)

I contacted a few other law firms and agencies beforehand, but the admin/case management team here stood out for being fast, transparent, and responsible. Communication was always clear, and they didn’t disappear halfway through the process like some others do.

Important Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

We help with the full process — not just “checking documents”, but actually building the right strategy for your case from the beginning.

We know not every application is straightforward. Some applicants are close to their 90-day Schengen limit, some have time-sensitive travel plans, some earn through multiple income streams (personal accounts, LLCs, freelance platforms, dividends, etc.), and some are unsure how to properly structure financial proof or supporting documents.

Even though every case is unique, our team includes lawyers and professionals with different perspectives and backgrounds — from immigration law to tax and business matters — so we can approach the application from multiple angles and help you choose the safest and most practical route. 

In short: instead of figuring everything out alone, you’ll have a team experienced with complex and non-standard cases guiding you through the process.

We provide full Legal Services Croatia, including residency guidance (long term residency in Croatia, Croatia Digital nomad visa), contracts, tax compliance, and everyday legal needs for expats and digital nomads.

 

Simply book a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, assess your needs, and outline how Mandracchio Capital can support your next stage of growth.

Mandracchio Capital was founded by Prof. Dr. Šime Jozipović​, a Croatian advisor specializing in
expat relocation, residency planning, and cross-border structuring.

One thing that makes different is that clients know exactly who is handling their case. You will work directly with our lawyers and professionals whose backgrounds and areas of expertise can be reviewed before you even move forward with the process.

We also understand that many digital nomad visa applications are not “standard.” Some clients are dealing with complex income structures, tight Schengen timelines, non-traditional documentation, or unique personal situations. In many cases, people come to us with little more than their passports and a lot of confusion, and we guide them step by step through building a complete and properly structured application.

Another thing clients often mention is the communication. Many people contact several firms before choosing us, and what stands out is usually the responsiveness and transparency of our admin and case management team. We aim to keep communication clear, realistic, and consistent throughout the process, without disappearing halfway through the application journey.

Yes, every expat situation is unique. We provide custom legal service, tailored to your nationality, income, lifestyle, and goals.

Yes. We provide end-to-end support for your entire residency process in Croatia. This includes identifying the residency category that best fits your situation, outlining the exact documents you need, preparing and reviewing all forms, and guiding you through every appointment or administrative step. Whether you’re applying for temporary stay, the digital nomad visa, family reunification, or long-term residence, we ensure your application is complete, compliant, and submitted correctly the first time.

Our Croatia Digital Nomad Visa service starts at 1,300 EUR.

We offer 3 different service packages depending on the complexity of your situation and the level of support you may need throughout the process.

Some applicants have relatively straightforward cases and mainly need guidance, document review, and filing support. Others may have more complex situations  such as multiple income streams, tight Schengen timelines, non-standard documentation, dependents, business-related questions, or additional concerns that require more strategy, coordination, and ongoing support from our legal and case management team.

 

The service fee does not include third-party or government-related costs that may arise during the application process. Additional possible expenses can include:

  • Certified translations
  • Apostille or notarization services
  • Government application and residence card fees
  • Courier/shipping costs if applicable
  • Health insurance costs
  • Other supporting documents requested specifically for your case

These costs vary depending on your nationality, document origin, and individual application circumstances.

Yes. We regularly assist expats who are planning to retire in Croatia.
Our support covers the key areas most retirees need when relocating: Financial planning & proof of funds required for residence applications. Property search and real estate purchase or long-term rentals. Residency and immigration guidance for non-EU citizens. Healthcare insurance setup. Tax and long-term financial considerations for retirees

We work with a network of Croatian lawyers, real estate professionals, and relocation specialists to help make the transition to retirement in Croatia smooth and legally compliant.
