“I contacted them because I wanted local support for our move.

I was used to the flexibility of spending time outside the country, so I needed clarity on how residency actually works in Croatia.

They explained everything clearly, helped us plan properly, and guided us on how to structure travel and stay compliant.”

A Message From Our Founder

Prof. Dr. Šime Jozipović

Moving from Dubai to Europe is more accessible than ever, but clarity is still rare.

Most people speak with immigration agents, tax advisors, and relocation services separately. Each covers one piece. Nobody connects them. That’s where mistakes happen, wrong residence pathway, inefficient income structure, overlooked compliance requirements.

I’ve worked with clients who wanted more than a visa. They wanted a setup that would still make sense years after the move.

That’s the approach we take. We treat relocation as a full legal and practical transition, from choosing the right residence basis to making sure everything works once you arrive.

What Our Clients Usually Ask Before Moving to Croatia

Prof. Dr. Šime Jozipović CEO and Founder of Mandracchio Capital in Croatia - legal harbour for expats doing business in Croatia

Yes. We provide end-to-end support for UAE residents, from Strategy to Execution to Settlement, navigating the specific document legalization and translation requirements for your Croatian visa application.

Unlike most agencies that simply forward your documents and hope for the best, we take full ownership of your relocation from start to finish. Our team is made up of internationally recognized experts who are native Croatian citizens but have lived and worked abroad. This unique combination means we understand both the challenges of relocating and the lifestyle you want, while possessing the precise local expertise in law, taxation, business, and real estate needed to make your move seamless.

We don’t just guide you — we handle every step, from visas and taxes to housing and interactions with authorities. The result is a smooth, worry-free relocation that lets you focus on enjoying your new life in Croatia while we manage all the complexities behind the scenes.

Lets talk!

Yes, we are a premium service and charge more than companies that simply forward your paperwork and hope for the best. But that’s why we don’t have to cut corners and can get top talent on your case that protects your time and peace of mind. 

Costs depend on your situation (country of origin, family setup, legal basis for relocation). To keep everything transparent, we offer a free initial consultation. After that, you’ll receive a clear, no-obligation quote. Even if you don’t move forward with us, our experts will point you in the right direction and you will have a better understanding about the VISA process in Croatia and the EU.

Lets talk!  

That depends on your profile. Croatia offers several routes: employment permits for those hired locally, digital nomad permits for remote workers with foreign income, family reunification for spouses and children, and business-based residence for entrepreneurs who establish a real operation here.

For example, a remote worker with US clients usually qualifies as a digital nomad, while someone planning to open a company would instead apply under the business route.

Because the right permit depends on your nationality, income source, and family situation, we offer a free initial consultation. In that call, we review your case and tell you exactly which visa applies, what documents you’ll need, and how the process works.

Lets talk.

Yes. Whether it’s your spouse or children, we take care of all the paperwork and make sure your whole family can move together smoothly.

That depends on the level of service you choose. Our VIP clients, typically ultra–high-net-worth individuals with complex international structures, rarely need to be involved at all. We work directly with their legal or tax teams abroad, coordinate everything with our Croatian experts, and manage the process from start to finish.
For most clients, we provide a comprehensive service that keeps your involvement minimal. Any documents needed from your home country can usually be sent digitally, and we guide you step by step to ensure everything meets Croatian requirements. You stay informed without having to travel or navigate bureaucracy yourself.
This is exactly why we start with a free consultation, to understand your situation and recommend the service level that best fits your needs.

Lets talk!

In most cases, we can manage the entire process remotely. Our team can prepare paperwork, communicate with authorities, and even secure your residence address before you arrive.

That said, some steps do require input that only you can provide — for example, confirming your intended residence or signing certain official documents. Even these are usually handled efficiently with digital submissions, courier services, or a brief in-person appointment if absolutely necessary.

The result is that you can complete the bulk of the relocation from anywhere in the world, and your arrival in Croatia is smooth, organized, and stress-free.

We will give you more insights during your free initial consultation.

Lets talk!

Our process is designed to prevent this. First we have an initial consultation, analyse which VISA(s) you could get and if there are reasons from preventing you to aquire them. If there are already reasons visible at this stage, you get clarity immediately without having to invest time or money into an application.

If in the first step we assess together with you that it makes sense to proceed, we go into the paperwork gathering phase. We inform you what we need, what parts we will take care locally from Croatia and what parts we will need you to provide. As soon as we have all the paperwork, we do our own review of it and check if there are any potential reasons for rejection, even before the application is filed. If there are reasons, we work with you to resolve the situation, either by switching to a different type of VISA or where possible giving you a clear plan how the issue could be resolved. 

Because we do this already before the application is filed, you don’t waste months waiting for a decision, and have the piece of mind that with us your approval rate is 90% higher than applying by yourself!

We cannot guarantee the decision of public authorities.

But here is our guarantee if we take you on as a client: if you provide us with complete and honest information and your application is rejected, we will not leave you on your own.

We will guide you through the entire appeal process at no additional cost, handling every step with precision and care.

Our focus is on making sure everything is done correctly and efficiently, giving you the strongest possible chance of approval.

Lets talk!

Typically around €3,700/month or equivalent savings. The key is not just the amount, but how your income is presented.

Yes, we assist with accommodation options and ensure your lease and documents meet application requirements.

In most cases, no, but your global tax position should still be reviewed properly.
