$10,000 to $12,500 a month is a ridiculous example. You can live in Paris or Switzerland with that monthly income. The average American social security is $1,800 a month.
If you are planning to live in Croatia, you are expected to learn the Croatian language and integrate in the local culture. As a Croat I am fine with speaking English to tourists, but to immigrants I will speak Croatian only.
"If you are planning to live in Croatia, you are expected to learn the Croatian language " We agree with you :) However, let's remember that Croatian is not the easiest language and it takes time.
@@the_expat Croatian is the easiest Slavic language. Everything is pronounced as it's written. Russian and Polish are much harder. There are even harder languages such as Finnish, Hungarian, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese etc. I would even argue that French is more difficult than Croatian because of pronunciation. I know people who learned freakin Arabic from scratch. Arabic can't even be compared to Croatian how difficult it is. The reason why immigrants don't know Croatian is because they don't care to learn it.
Your content and visuals are decent, speed too fast but the sound of your voice is overly dramatic, accent too heavy and overall extremely, extremely irritating. OK for Brazil but not OK for English speakers and listeners.
It's expensive when tourist season witch duration is only few months and only in "popular "destinations"like Dubrovnik ,Split,island Hvar ect.And you really think that Bulgaria and Albania can compete with Croatia? Dude don't be troll 🤔😏
I think that migrants with lots of money are firstly welcome, but when they purchase houses and prices for housings and rent will rise, so that the Croats themselfes will suffer (as they already do), things will turn. Just look at Portugal, Spain / Mallorca / Barcelona, where their own citizens are fed up with too many "rich" migrants that make living there too expensive for their own people. If you love this country, leave it alone!!!
off season is not warm. It is warm enough to swim only between mid June to mid September and even that's a stretch, generally only July and August. I am Croatian saying this.
Croatia are not so cheap or only if your incomes are over 2000 euro person monthly ,houses are pretty expensive now especially at sea and food relative ecpensive so basically Croatia are something more expensive then Spain or even France

In this video we are talking about retiring or living in Croatia with an income from abroad, not a Croatian income (which is indeed relatively low). Croatia does not taxes income from abroad and also don't have property taxes.

We do not advise anyone to retire abroad solely on American social security...
@@the_expat What if your SS is 3000 a month and you have multiple savings accounts - IRA, Annuity, etc. ?
He literally said that amount puts you in the top 0.001 percent
@@Jane-dt5we SSA will stop after 6 months you out ot USA. Check ssa.gov for mo info
Obviously he isn't saying 10k US lol
The Croatia government don't allow visa for more than one year snd you cannot renew it.
For digital nomads, yes. They must find another reason to stay or leave for 3 months before reapplying.

I am retiring. Boring sounds lovely.
This rubbish. Dubrovnik is expensive as hell. Too msny cars and rude people!
That is why we recommend Split :)
@@the_expat
Another BS
Pretty much. We are rude never think to come. We don't want you or others to retire here.
The channel should be called the ExPrat
You are absolutely right 😊
"$10,000 to $12,500 a month"...😳How many people make that kind of money??
In general, high-skileed retirees from western countries.
Ooh there's plenty of people in America making between $10,000 - $16,000 a month

Croatia is nice but expensive.
Albania or Bulgaria are much cheaper.
Interesting! We are planning a video on Albania soon.

10 to 12k a month…surly that’s not correct.???
Please, don't come. We don't need more price surges.
It would be hard to deal with the tourists. Living in Croatia off-season makes sense.
Croatia is not just about the Adriatic sea. No tourists galore in the mainland.

When comparing similar cities (eg: Rijeka vs Nice), Croatia is way cheaper than France.

Cheap NO. Low taxes, hell NO. Also Croatian average wage is just above 1000 EUR per month

@@the_expat Yeah, why don't you make your government in USA stop charging you property taxes instead of bringing your inflated dollars with you!
I think normal tax rate is 15%. That is much lower than most countries.
no real-estate tax
Not really with concrete information..
You don't know what are you talking about 😅
"The food is not expensive in America and Medicaid covers their health." Lol, good joke.
What lies!
Ha,ha why you laying
