Overview

Zagreb hosts Britain's embassy to Croatia where EU membership meets Adriatic tourism attracting hundreds of thousands of British travelers annually. The mission supports booming British tourism to Croatia—summer visitors flooding Dubrovnik's historic walls and Game of Thrones filming locations, Split's Diocletian Palace and island-hopping from Hvar to Korčula, Plitvice Lakes' stunning waterfalls, and Istria's coastal towns and truffle-hunting experiences. British businesses engage in Croatia's growing economy providing financial services, technology partnerships, and tourism development, while UK property buyers purchase Croatian coastal real estate drawn by EU membership security and affordable Mediterranean lifestyle. The embassy facilitates British investment in Croatia's privatization programs, supports educational exchanges, and coordinates development assistance for governance reforms. British expats work in Croatia's tourism sector managing hotels and yacht charter operations, education institutions teaching English, and business ventures serving growing expat communities along coast. The mission provides consular services for British tourists including emergency assistance during summer peak season when hundreds of thousands visit, passport renewals for residents, and support during sailing accidents or health emergencies. Staff process visa applications for Croatian workers in UK hospitality sectors, students heading to British universities, and business travelers. The embassy promotes trade connections in maritime services where British companies engage with Croatian shipbuilding heritage, facilitates cultural exchanges, and supports Croatia's integration into European economic and security frameworks.
