"Bulgaria has introduced a digital nomad visa, and applications are open. The country is well-placed to welcome the laptop-tapping crowd, with a cost of living significantly lower than other European countries, youthful cities offering growing remote working services, and epic weekend escapes - from fierce mountain ranges to buzzy beach resorts. The country has also just switched its currency to the euro and became part of the Schengen Zone in 2025, making it a great base for travelling around Europe."
"Applicants must be non-EU/EEA citizens who work remotely and earn their income from outside Bulgaria. Within that, there are three eligibility criteria: remote employees of companies registered outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland; owners of companies or those holding more than 25 per cent of a business registered abroad; and freelancers or independent professionals who have been providing services to non-Bulgarian clients for at least one year before applying."
Bulgaria introduced a digital nomad visa and opened applications for non‑EU/EEA remote workers who earn income from outside Bulgaria. The country offers a lower cost of living, youthful cities with growing remote-work services, and weekend escapes from mountains to beach resorts. Bulgaria adopted the euro and joined the Schengen Zone in 2025, improving travel access within Europe. Eligible applicants include remote employees of non‑EU/EEA/Swiss companies, business owners holding over 25% of an overseas company, and freelancers with at least one year serving non‑Bulgarian clients. Applicants must evidence annual income equal to 50 times the Bulgarian monthly minimum wage (currently €31,000). The process requires a type D long-stay visa from a Bulgarian embassy, entry to Bulgaria, and a residence permit application within 14 days of arrival; required documents include proof of accommodation and additional supporting documentation.
