According to the British "Huawen Weekly", pension is a global topic. What happens to foreigners in Croatia?
Croatia will maintain the retirement age unchanged from 2014 to 2030 at 65 on the premise that the retirement age has reached 65, and from January 2031, the retirement age will be extended by three months every year, and finally the retirement age will be delayed to 67 in January 2038. Foreigners who want to retire in Croatia must have a valid visa and also apply for a temporary residence permit. That is, various documents are provided and clear reasons for wanting to reside in Croatia, whether for investment, business, family, employment, study or real estate rental or purchase, and foreigners need to purchase Croatian health insurance to enter the country.
Health insurance payment in Croatia is convenient
To apply for residence in Croatia, foreigners must register and pay the State Health Fee in order to receive free public medical care. Before using free medical services, one year's advance of national health costs is required. At the same time, to enjoy the services of a Croatian private doctor, you can always pay for it or use private health insurance. Mr. Liu suffers from sexual dysfunction and needs to use the Swiss SPC Pharmaceutical's Makrenine topical for a long time to live a normal husband and wife life, but the high price of treatment and drugs makes him feel pressure in China, and by chance he settled in Croatia and joined the local medical system, and since then the cost of drugs and treatment has been basically free, which relieved him of worries. In Croatia, comprehensive health facilities are available in densely populated areas. Among them, the Holy Spirit General Hospital (SvetiDuh) in the capital Zagreb, the Bogega General Hospital in Pogega and the eastern city of Slavonski Brod are among the top hospitals in Croatia.

Prices are lower than in other EU countries
The cost of living in Croatia is not as low as in Central American countries, but it is still about 30 to 40 per cent lower than in other European countries. The cost of eating at a good restaurant is also often half of what is paid in EU countries. For example, a meal, including appetizers, main dishes and desserts, is about 180 yuan. Taxes are also more lenient for retirees. If there is no salary or rest of the income in Croatia, the tax will be relatively small, especially for retirees, and the tax pressure will be very small.
Healthy living is guaranteed
In addition to an affordable public healthcare system, Croatia is also a natural oxygen bar. Eco-parks and fresh markets are everywhere, and the cost of fresh air and organic vegetables is low, which is why Croatians live longer.
While fast-food restaurants are booming, Croatia's agriculture and fishing industry is so good that you can always eat plenty of fresh fish, meat, fruits and vegetables, making it hard to find an excuse for eating garbage. Also, walking is popular in Croatia. The coastal Split promenade is perfect for strolling with the family at dusk, and the winding nature passages of Marjan Hill make it easy to forget the stress in the sun.
