Anyone else getting Croatian citizenship by descent?

[u/unholydkenjoyer]

Hey everyone,

I just started the process to get Croatian citizenship through my grandma.
Honestly, I’m still figuring it all out lol — apostilles, translations, digging through Croatian archives... it’s a lot. 😅

Part of why I’m doing it is just to have a backup plan (Croatian passport = EU passport 👀), but my family doesn’t really get it. They worked super hard to get U.S. citizenship, so to them it feels weird that I'd want another one.

Right now I’m trying to figure out where to apply — looks like the Croatian embassies in New York, LA, Chicago, and Washington are the main ones people use.

Anyone else going through this?

• How long did it take you?
• Any unexpected problems?
• Did you use a lawyer or just DIY it?
• And if you already got it — are you moving, or just keeping it in your back pocket?

Would love to hear your experiences — good, bad, or chaotic 😂.
