How to Get a Long Stay Visa for Bulgaria

Bulgaria Long Stay Visa

Bulgaria Long Stay Visa

If you are looking to relocate to Bulgaria, you are going to need to get the Long Stay Visa.

If you are considering working in Bulgaria, I recommend you contact the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy for information on the work permit process.  If you are want to work in Bulgaria, be sure to secure this work permit first and then you can apply for the Long Stay visa.

Students can check out this helpful page that has a list of the accredited universities.
