All the things I had to do to get Croatian citizenship, gawd! For Norwegian all I had to do was show them my dad's documents. The Croatian authorities treated me as if I should be grateful. I don't know if that had owt to do with my short stature and dark complexion, who knows...

You should have told them you'd rather shoot yourself in the foot that take Cro citizenship...a 'friend' of mine did that, they were very shocked I hear

Exactly... and if they want to limit the amount of foreigners coming in and buying property that is there right. All countries have that right and just because Croatia is small & the economy is not that great.... does not mean the muscle countries have a right to muscle their way into ours and change things to suit them. Without turning this into an argument, can you explain to me why you want Croatia to stop foreigners living there, yet you think you should be allowed to live in Usa, the hypocrisy is astounding. I did not say stop letting all foreigners in. I am saying put the brakes on and slow down... only let in so many foreigner from each country.... JUST like America. America has quota's and so should we. We are a small country and should have small amounts of immigrants, not large amounts of Brits coming to buy vacation homes or homes to rent. I am not against foreigners just not to many of them... kind of like Mambo and the Italians....

This is new to me, what was rationale behind it? It seems counter productive. You normally get your CRO passport in a place (town etc), where you live. Krajina Serbs could not go back to Croatia to get their passports, and then the UK pressurised Croatia that Krajina Serbs should get their passports from our embassy in Belgrade. Croatia had no option, but to agree. About 50,000 passports were issued, and about 30,000 Serbs, travelled to the UK, via Budapest, and asked for asylum. This is a true story. So the Krajina Serbs then, technically should have had Croatian passports, as that is where they were from in the end, and the West was only forcing Croatia to do what it should have done itself.

To get Cro citizenship is straight forward if one of your parents are Cro. I guess, complications starts when that is not the case (i.e. if you want to get it because yor granparents were Cro) and if you are over 18 and not living in Cro. Don't know exact procedure, but few of my friends, second generation Croats in Britain, didn't have a lot of trouble to get it. . I don't get this rubbish anymore, its not as if you are going to get anything out of Croatia is it. What can you do, go there and sign on the dole, like in the Uk. I think not. You need bags of cash to go there.

...Good Owl, I agree with getting citizenship for those reasons.
I was talking about people getting citizenship for financial gain, like they do when they come to the UK or the US of A.
So those applying for it are probably in 99 per cent of cases applying for it, for the right reasons. So there isn't much to say.

Sto? What other reasons my fine feathered friend?
May be to get a hot woman ;D
Still surely better to get citizenship in Oz, or Canada, or California?

No they give everyone attitude... you should see the b*tches that work at the American Embassy when we were coming to the US. That is some attitude along with no brains! Did you expect Croatian govt officials to behave like a Norwegian.... hahahahaha ;D When that idiot gave you crap..... give it back to them.... I have to admit after living in California and dealing with govt officials... I think Croatians are slightly worse than the USA with the attitude... Croatian can have some real attitude.... The Americans that work govt jobs are even more lazy than a Dalmatian on a sunny day...... They work in Turtle mode. Pocket, I just don't see you taken any of it though from what I see you posting...hahaha ;D Have you heard of Hot Pockets? I am sorry but everytime I see your name I think of them and this comedian that always talks about them thru his act.... do you have any clue what I am talking about?

One thing that really does my head in is when they ask for the names of both your parents, even if you're 90 and they've been dead for 50 years! >:(Surely when one is of age their parents are nothing to do with them any longer, officially at least?! They always have fun with my dad's name though! ;D

Don't they have anything like our N/A under father? It is no business of anyone else who one's parents are or were when one is over 18! It really does my head in, but perhaps it's normal for Croats who never break free of their parents and let them run their lives for them whatever their age!

They have to know about family history.... they don't want to be given citizenship to a criminal... the family history will help identify the person further than just a name and no backgroud.
They do the same thing in the USA.... they even want Mom's Maiden name...
I guess that is just the price you have to pay for citizenship.
