The 60-second version
Croatian bank wind-down needs zero balance, Zagrebačka / PBZ closure letter, Porezna clearance if d.o.o. involved, and EUR SWIFT to NRE with FEMA trail.
Euro adoption simplified balances but d.o.o. still needs Porezna letter
Croatia uses EUR since 2023 — legacy HRK statements may still appear on old contracts; wire EUR to NRE with clear SWIFT narrative.
Close d.o.o. business account only after Porezna tax clearance and shareholder distribution documented.
Retain bank closure PDF for Schedule FA until account fully closed in departure FY.
Austria: Austrian bank guide if parallel account.
