My HR citizenship was effective Dec. 7, 2016. I worked at it for six years (with some interruptions) and now I am wondering whether it was worth it (kind of). I inquired with the consulate, thinking there might be some kind of ceremony - appears not. More practically, I thought I would be given a passport or ID card. I understand that I would only get the latter if I live there, but...no passport? Apparently I have to apply for it - so, do I want it? Are there any advantages? I'm stumped because I thought that once one has Croatian citizenship, one must use one's HR passport.
Also, I bought property in early 2015 with a company that I established there and have been renting it out. I paid the awful 5% property tax when I bought it. I know that I have to pay that again (down to 4% at least) but frankly am wondering if (1) I have to now close down the company and (2) whether it isn't better to keep it for the ten years that I have amortization, and then close the company.
My other important concern is about health insurance. The person writing from the consulate made it sound like the only way I could get it would be if I am employed somewhere...
Thank you!
