"Through its digital nomad visa program, Bulgaria has opened itself to workers who aren't European Union residents but still want to enjoy long-term access. A site dedicated to the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) notes that Bulgaria opened its digital nomad visa applications in late December 2025. The new program reportedly aims to appeal to working foreigners who can contribute to Bulgaria's economy without integrating into the country's job market."
"To be considered for approval, applicants will need to provide their criminal record, proof of health insurance, and the address where they'll be staying in Bulgaria. The person needs to be employed and bring in income from a source (a company, client, etc.) that is "registered outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland." Eligible persons will either be remote workers, business executives with at least a 25% stake in a foreign company,"
Bulgaria opened applications for a digital nomad visa in late December 2025 to attract non-EU remote workers who contribute economically without joining the local labor market. Applicants must first obtain a Type D visa, then apply for a residence permit after arrival, and obtain an identity card. The visa grants a one-year stay, extendable for a second year, and approved family members can join with proper documentation. Applicants must provide a criminal record, health insurance, proof of accommodation, and demonstrate employment with income from sources outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland. Applicants must show prior-year earnings equal to 50 times Bulgaria's monthly minimum wage (about $36,000). The visa does not provide a pathway to citizenship.
