Every journey back to Croatia has a story

Salona Consulting made a dream come true that I truly never thought was possible. If you are considering applying for Croatian citizenship by descent, I cannot recommend their team enough. Navigating Article 11 claims, track-down of vintage archival documents across Croatia, apostilles, certified translations, and official ministry paperwork can easily feel overwhelming. From our initial consultation through every step of document collection, the team at Salona Consulting was exceptional. They are thorough, highly organized, compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient. They break down what feels like an impossible bureaucratic process into clear, manageable steps, taking the stress and ambiguity out of gathering records and submitting an application. Their expertise in Croatian citizenship law and hands-on guidance gave us complete confidence throughout the entire journey. If you have Croatian heritage and are ready to take the leap, save yourself the headache and reach out to Salona Consulting. You will be in the best possible hands!

Salona Consulting provided excellent service to my family and I when we applied for Croatian citizenship by descent. They are very professional and efficient, and their correspondence is always prompt and friendly. They also work together effectively as team, helping us through each step of the process, including spending time with us online to help us prepare for the Consulate appointment, and assembling all of the necessary documents for us, with translations and apostille, in carefully prepared binders to present to the Consulate. I would highly recommend Salona Consulting to anyone seeking Croatian citizenship: They are outstanding!

Navigating the Croatian citizenship application process and accurately compiling, legalizing, and presenting the required supporting documentation is not nearly as straightforward as the official application instructions may imply and/or some might assume. The careful curation of an organized chain of paperwork can take an immense amount of work to locate, order, and amend when necessary. A seemingly minor oversight or omission can result in significant delays to an already lengthy process. I consider myself someone who is good at managing these sorts of things, but I am not an expert and it didn’t take me long to realize the great value and peace of mind that comes with bringing on the right team to ensure the smoothest experience possible (not to mention the pricelessness of mitigating use of personal time and stress). This is why I ultimately selected Salona to consult and assist with the process of applying for Croatian citizenship by descent for myself, my husband, and our minor child. Owner and founder Nathalia has clearly developed a team of knowledgeable professionals and consistent communicators, resulting in a wonderfully professional experience. I worked very closely with Camila throughout the process, which was an absolute pleasure, and had wonderful interactions with Iva, Melanie, and Ana on different aspects. All were incredibly professional and highly responsive, providing clear answers and guidance every step of the way. A strong rapport of trust was established from the start and maintained, assuring me that our precious documents and sensitive information were in good hands. At the end of this highly organized preparation, we received a compilation of all required documentation in beautifully organized and presented binders that left us more than prepared for our citizenship appointment at the NYC consulate last week. Even the consular agent was impressed with the presentation of the materials! I would like to thank the entire Salona team so much for their effort, guidance, and support, and for making this process as smooth and painless as possible! I would assure anyone looking for hands-on guidance through this process that choosing Salona’s citizenship consulting and preparation services—and their related services, such as passport and national ID card assistance—is certainly a worthwhile investment. Thank you!

I would 100% recommend Salona Consulting to assist with applying for Croatian citizenship. All the steps of the process were clearly communicated; they responded promptly to any questions, and my family’s appointments at the consulate in New York to submit our applications went very smoothly thanks to Salona Consulting's efforts.

The team at Salona did a fantastic job with helping me organize and prepare everything I needed for the Croatian citizenship application! They were extremely supportive and responsive to all of my concerns throughout the whole process, for both myself and my family. The officer at the consulate was very appreciative of how well organized and well put together all of my documentation was. Thanks to Camila, Nathalia, and the whole team at Salona for your help throughout this journey!

Professional, efficient, and helpful throughout the entire process. I can't imagine trying to wade through all the paperwork by myself, and having experienced professionals able to answer questions gave me much more confidence to keep going with each step.

Wonderful team of people. Helped us with finding relevant birth records, filing them in the Croatian system to record birth and marriage certificates in Croatia, and preparing our application. Nathalia even helped me with restaurant recommendations during my recent visit to Zagreb! I highly recommend Salona!!!

Highly recommend Nathalia and her team. They walked us through every step, communicated any updates promptly, even had a video call with us ahead of our consulate meeting. They handled so much of the work that we were not able to, and it was a huge relief to have them to work with and walk us through this very complicated process.

I wanted to share my experience at the Croatian consulate in New York and how well I was prepared by Salona Consulting. I was interviewed by a male officer who was new and had only been in the U.S. for a month. He was extremely nice and courteous. He asked me first for the originals one by one and then the copies. After he had me signed the application and the Intention letter. He told me he will sign it afterwards and put all the required stamps before sending it to the ministry. I was well prepared by Salona for this, and everything was exactly as they had explained. He thank me for having everything so organized. I felt that the preparation for the appointment and the binder prepared by Salona Consulting is what made the interview go so smoothly. I will definitely recommend Salona if you are thinking of applying for Croatian citizenship. Thank you Camila for your excellent work.

This team knows how to get it done from start to finish and made it affordable with payment plans. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. I just submitted everything today at the consulate!

Working with this consulting agency for my Croatian citizenship process was one of the best decisions I made. From the very beginning, they were incredibly genuine, kind, and easy to work with. This isn’t one of those transactional services where you feel like just another client; they actually care, and it shows in every interaction. They took the time to walk me through the process, explain each step clearly, and made something that felt overwhelming suddenly feel very manageable. What really stood out was their ability to track down documents I honestly didn’t think were possible to find. They were able to locate my father’s birth certificate directly in Croatia, which was a huge piece of the puzzle and something I had no idea how to navigate on my own. That alone made the entire experience worth it. Beyond that, they handled everything with impressive speed and efficiency. Every document request, every update, every step forward felt quick and intentional. There was no chasing, no guessing, no unnecessary delays. At the same time, they maintained full transparency throughout the process. I always knew exactly what was happening, what was needed from me, and what the next steps were. It’s rare to find a team that combines professionalism, warmth, and execution at this level. If you’re considering pursuing Croatian citizenship and want someone who is not only effective but truly great to work with, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Salona ladies were amazing! They were very thorough and accurate. Their communication was top notch! You could tell, they want you to be successful in your journey.
