Where should I setup a bank account in Varazdin?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Varazdin what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Varazdin, should be aware that the official language is Croatian, and while English is commonly spoken among younger generations, older locals may not be fluent. The cost of living in Varazdin is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it's important to consider your personal lifestyle and financial situation. Healthcare in Croatia is of a high standard, with both public and private options available, but it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. Varazdin is known for its Baroque architecture and peaceful atmosphere, making it an attractive place for retirees. The city has a continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters, which could be a significant change for those from milder climates. It's also important to understand the local customs and traditions, as Croatians are known for their hospitality and respect for their culture. Croatia is part of the European Union, so EU citizens can retire there with relative ease, but non-EU citizens will need to apply for a residence permit. It's also worth noting that Croatia has a double taxation agreement with many countries, so you'll need to check how this affects your pension. Public transportation in Varazdin is reliable, but owning a car can be beneficial for exploring the surrounding areas. Finally, it's recommended to hire a local lawyer when buying property, to ensure you understand all the legal requirements and processes involved," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Varazdin, Croatia.
