Croatia - flag Croatia - Passport & Nationality - Croatian Citizenship - Grandparent born in Croatia

Croatian emigrants and their direct descendants (e.g. children and grandchildren) may apply for Croatian citizenship in some circumstances. The key requirement is that a grandparent was born in Croatia. The language and culture tests are no longer required, and the relevant parent(s) or grandparent(s) do not need to still be alive.

There are exceptions. If your parent or grandparent left Croatia before October 8, 1991 and moved to another country within Yugoslavia, then their descendants cannot apply for Croatian nationality. If your grandparent left Croatia after October 8, 1991, then their descendants cannot apply for nationality either.

Croatia is a member of the European Union. As a result, a Croatian passport holder can live and work in any of the EU member states (including Ireland).

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
