The easiest way to obtain residence permit in Bulgaria.

In our opinion, the most convenient, fastest and most reliable way to obtain residence permit in Bulgaria - to become the representative of foreign company (see Art. 24, par.1 paragraph 6 of the Aliens Act).

You can become a representative of the branch of your own company, as well as representative of foreign company already operating in Bulgaria, which requires the representatives in Bulgaria. There are differences in the preparation of documents. In the first case, you'll need to make a series of actions for the opening of the firm, and then the representative of you company in Bulgaria in the second - only to sign and send us your power of attorney, certified by a notary. Our opinion first is more complicated, second - fast , cheap and easy.

In the first case, the entire responsibility for the bookkeeping and the existence of the parent organization is on you, in the second - on the owners of an organization who looking for representatives in Bulgaria.

Becoming a representative of the Bulgarian branch of a foreign company, you’ll get in your hands a set of documents on which basis, can easy get at nearest embassy/consulate of Bulgaria, a long-term (6 months) visa category "D".

As a holder of a visa "D", on arrival in Bolgaria, at any time, but no later than one month before the expiry of visa, you must submit an application in the ISI (migration police) for residence permit. There within one week decision on granting you residence permit be issued. The procedure is formal, and if you have not had problems with the law in Bulgaria during stay, there is no reason to refuse you.

Benefits of this scheme:

- Your wife (husband) and kids will receive residence permit automatically after it is received by you. (The marriage must be legally registered and the child must have a birth certificate, where both parents are recorded). Formally, the consulate can provide a visa "D" for your family only on the basis of your visa "D", but in fact, as rule, the documents be immediately taken from all applicants.

To summarize:

Algorithm for obtaining a residence permit (according to rules 6. 24 of the Aliens Act) is just like 1-2-3:

1. Becoming a representative of the foreign company - 30 days
2. Long-term visa "D" - 30 - 45 days
