During the pandemic, I was freelancing at the time, and I was writing an article about "worldschooling." I had never heard of it, and I started interviewing these people around the world, and these are families who were just traveling the world with their kids. My wife and I had both lived abroad, and we loved the idea, and we said if we ever make it out of the pandemic, we want to do something like this with our kids.

The application process has several steps and reportedly can extend for months. Applicants will first apply for a Type D visa. Upon approval and moving to Bulgaria, they'll later apply for a residence permit. Moreover, they'll also need to obtain an identity card. Eligible parties are issued a one-year stay in Bulgaria under its digital nomad visa program. That said, the visa can be extended for another year, offering up to a two-year stint.

The new Business Investor Plus visa offers residency for up to 4 years, with a pathway to permanent residence. There is an application fee of NZD $12,380 (about $7,010), and investors can invest NZD $1 million (about $567,300) for a three-year work-to-residency track, or NZD $2 million (about $1,134,480) for an expedited one-year path. In addition to this investment amount, applicants must also prove that they have the money to stay and cover their expenses to the tune of NZD $500,000 (about $283,700)
