I can give you contacts if you decide for Rijeka region.

But what Trofo is saying is pretty much the best advice you can get. All of us here are serious people and not some kids that will fool you around. But if I were you, I would probably hire an agency to help me.

For 1000 EUR/month, you can get a good-looking, 2-room apartment (at least) 60 m2 or more in all cities in Croatia, including tourist destinations (except maybe Dubrovnik). It all depends on what you're looking for. It is generally worth avoiding urban centers and attractive locations, and looking for quieter, residential neighborhoods to find the best deals. You might even find smaller houses with gardens in these areas for the same price. Since you likely won't be working here, a daily commute won't be a factor.

Nije nista bolja situacija ni u Hrvatskoj, cak mislim da je i gora kad se uzme u obzir razlika u primanjima te opcenito ekonomska situacija. U Zagrebu je postalo skoro pa nemoguce iznajmiti pristojan stan na nekoj normalnoj lokaciji koja nije vukojebina ispod 700-800 eura.

Ako Bog da bitcoin napravi ono sto se svi nadamo da hoce, s gustom odoh zivjeti na selo a u gradu nek zivi ko mora raditi. 

Well, that what you are saying (12% tax on crypto-to-fiat and 0% tax for a two year hold) is true. But (and that's a big BUT) the problem is not paying the taxes. The biggest problem (at least for me, but I think for a lot of people) is what to do when Croatian IRS asks for FIFO list. I don't have it and I have no idea on how to do it. I tried several times, but there is no way to list all transactions that I made in the past few years.

If by surtax you mean "prirez", there is no such thing in Croatia after 1.1.2024. At least that's what I heard of. Croatian government decided to remove surtax, but some cities like Zagreb increased their taxes to overcome less money flowing into their account.

Germany comes to my mind as there you have to hold crypto only for 1 year in order to avoid paying tax. Then again, I have no idea how complicated their laws are.

@tratatanga, like SirJohn mentioned, a bit more detail in your question would be helpful. Are you curious about crypto taxes specifically?

In Croatia, there are no specific laws or regulations related solely to the taxation of cryptocurrencies. However, there are regulations within the EU, of which Croatia is a member, that apply. In short, cryptocurrencies constitute a form of digital property in Croatia. This means that all gains or losses from buying, selling, or trading digital assets are subject to a capital gains tax of 10%. There is also a local surtax depending on your place of residence.

For example, if you bought cryptocurrencies worth €500.00 and later sold them all for €1,000.00, you are required to report and pay capital gains tax which is calculated as the difference between the purchase and sale price, which means: (1,000-500)*10% = €50 (plus surtax).

There are some exceptions to capital gains tax, such as owning the property for more than two years. However, this exemption does not apply to other taxes you may owe depending on how you acquired the property, such as additional income tax.

No, it isn't. In addition to the original tax, Slovenia also levies a transaction tax on cryptoassets . The transaction tax is set at a rate of 0.25% and applies to all crypto asset transactions. In case of losses on crypto assets, Slovenia allows taxpayers to use the losses against taxes on other income.
