Your trusted path to Croatian Citizenship
Croatian passport
For many descendants of Croatian families around the world, the dream of becoming a Croatian citizen feels deeply meaningful, but often daunting.
The paperwork can be overwhelming, the requirements confusing, and the rules difficult to interpret from abroad.
That’s where Gateway to Croatia, founded by Sandy Grguric, steps in, offering a trusted, professional path to obtaining Croatian citizenship by descent.
Sandy Grguric is more than a consultant; she’s a Croatian citizen herself, with generations of family roots in the country.
Both her parents were born in Croatia, as were her grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides.
After earning her MBA with Honours from Norwich University in Vermont, United States, Sandy built a 20-year career in marketing, communications, and strategic operations before turning her professional skills toward something profoundly personal, helping others reconnect with their heritage through citizenship.
“I know what it means to be Croatian, not just by blood, but by heart,” she says. “And I also know how intimidating the process can be when you’re navigating it from abroad. My goal was to make it clear, professional, and achievable for everyone.”

Each case is reviewed for accuracy and completeness, ensuring clients’ applications move efficiently through the system.
Having now assisted hundreds of clients worldwide, Gateway to Croatia has earned a reputation for its blend of professionalism and personal care. The team’s attention to detail, organisation, and ability to manage complex, multi-step processes set them apart.

“Every client has a story,” adds Grguric. “Our job is to make sure it ends with the words, ‘I’m officially a Croatian citizen.’”
