Bulgaria Visa for Tourists in 2024: A Comprehensive Guide

Updated: January 3, 2024

When it comes to Bulgaria visa policy, the most important fact is that Bulgaria is part of the European Union but not part of Schengen.

This unique characteristic is shared by just a few other countries (Romania, Cyprus, and Ireland) and is the primary reason for Bulgaria’s visa requirements.

Bulgaria is currently in the process of fulfilling all conditions necessary to join the Schengen area. As part of the EU, accession to Schengen is just a matter of time and is mandated by the accords. The information presented in this article will change drastically when Bulgaria joins the Schengen area.

For now, keep in mind that you can enter Bulgaria with a Schengen visa but you cannot enter the Schengen area with just a Bulgarian Visa. 

This article will explore Bulgaria’s visa policy for tourists in detail along with all conditions and requirements.

Table of Contents

Visa policy.

Bulgaria has freedom to travel agreements with 34 countries and territories. These are all the countries of the EU and Schengen as well as some of their overseas territories. People from these countries can travel to Bulgaria even only using their national ID card.

Additionally, 86 nationalities and territories are visa-exempted to travel to Bulgaria without the need for prior authorization.

Moreover, if you hold a valid Schengen visa or a residence permit from any Schengen or EU member state (including Romania and Cyprus), you can also travel to Bulgaria without a visa.

Bulgaria does not issue e-visas, or visas on arrival . Everyone who requires a tourist visa must obtain it in a Bulgarian embassy or a Visa Application Center abroad.

Visa Requirements

The tourist visa for Bulgaria is coded as “Visa C” and requires that certain conditions be met by applicants.

Passport requirements

If you wish to obtain a tourist visa for Bulgaria, your passport must:

• Be valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended date of departure. If the visa allows multiple visits: 3 months beyond the last scheduled date of departure;
• Contains at least 2 blank pages;
• Was issued in the past 10 years. 

Return or onward ticket out of Bulgaria

It is one of the official requirements when applying for a Bulgarian tourist visa that you provide “ tickets or ticket booking confirmation or financial means ”. This is to prove that you intend to leave the country before the visa expires. 

Immigration officials rarely ask for such proof at the border. 

Freedom to Travel

Passport holders of 34 countries and territories have the freedom to travel to Bulgaria under EU treaties.

Bulgaria is not part of the Schengen area, so anyone arriving in Bulgaria must pass immigration and customs. It is usually seamless for those traveling under their right to free movement. 

Moreover, these nationals can use their ID card to travel, be employed, and can reside in Bulgaria indefinitely. 

This is the full list of countries with freedom to travel:

• Aruba (part of the Kingdom of Netherlands)
• Czech Republic
• Faroe Islands (part of the Kingdom of Denmark)
• Greenland (part of the Kingdom of Denmark)
• Liechtenstein
• Netherlands
• Saint Martin (part of the Kingdom of Netherlands)
• Switzerland

Visa Exemption

By Nationality

The following 86 countries and territories are visa-exempt. Unless otherwise specified, they are allowed to stay in Bulgaria for 90 days within any 180-day period. This is a rolling period, identical to how the Schengen visa exemption allowance works.

• American Samoa (part of the United States)
• Anguilla (British Territory)
• Antigua and Barbuda
• Bermuda (British Territory)
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• British Indian Ocean Territory (British Territory)
• British Virgin Islands (British Territory)

• North Macedonia
• Northern Mariana Islands (US Territory)
• Pitcairn Islands (British Territory)

• Trinidad and Tobago
• United Arab Emirates
• United Kingdom
• US Virgin Islands (US Territory)
• United States of America

By having a visa or a residence permit

If you hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa for any of the Schengen countries, you can travel to Bulgaria visa-free .

This is subject to a very important condition: The visa must first be used to enter the country that issued it. 

Additionally, holders of residence permits to any Schengen country enjoy the same visa exemption under the same conditions.

A residence permit or a multiple-entry visa for Romania and Cyprus is also enough to enter Bulgaria without a visa. Once again, it is imperative that the visa was first used to enter the country that issued it.

Visas and residence permits from eligible countries are NOT valid if placed on passports from countries which Bulgaria has no diplomatic relations with. These are Bhutan, Gambia, Haiti, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, South Sudan, and Tonga.

Check the exact conditions on Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs website .

Tourist Visa from the Embassy

All other countries and territories not on the lists above are required to obtain a tourist visa type C prior to traveling to Bulgaria.

The required documents to apply for it are:

• A copy of your passport ID page
• If you’ve had any prior Bulgarian, Schengen, UK, or USA visas, then a copy of the last one
• Color photo measuring 3.5 cm х 4.5 cm
• Medical insurance valid for Bulgaria for the whole period of the trip with coverage of at least €30,000 Euro
• Flight booking confirmation
• Proof of financial means

There are special exemptions for the family members of EU citizens, namely no need to present proof of insurance, finances, accommodation, or a return ticket.

You can apply for a visa at any of Bulgaria’s embassies abroad or at a Visa Application Center (VAC). These VACs are only in the following selected countries ( see the full list of cities here ):

• Saudi Arabia

The centers are managed by VFC Global and you can start your application online on their website. 

The application for a Bulgarian Type C visa costs €60 euros (€35 for children aged 6-12). You can check out the latest fees and exception details on the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. 

Using an agent incurs fees. For example, VFC Global charges €80 instead.

Entry and Exit Procedures at the Airport

Bulgaria has 4 international airports in use but chances are you will be landing at Sofia International.

It’s a relatively small airport and you will reach border security quickly. No matter where you’re coming from, even another EU country, you will pass customs and immigration. 

If your documents are in order, getting an entry stamp should be quick and easy. Take note of it and make sure it shows the correct number of days. 

If you require a visa to travel to Bulgaria, even though you have a visa, you may be pulled over for further questioning. Expect questions and delays if this is your first time traveling to Bulgaria on a visa.

It’s a good idea to have your proof of onward ticket and hotel reservation just in case. 

Entry and Exit Procedures at the Land Border

The experience you will get entering Bulgaria through a land border depends on which neighboring country you’re coming from.

You will find that it’s a lot easier and faster when crossing the borders with Romania and Greece (also part of the EU) than with Turkey, Serbia, or North Macedonia.

No matter where you’re coming from though, you will pass customs, your documents will be checked and you may be asked a few simple questions.

Note that if you’re traveling by your own car, you must bring along the car’s documents, including the technical passport of the vehicle and its registration. You can buy the required insurance and vignette at the border.

If you have all the documents and haven’t overstayed your visa, crossing the border either way should be as easy as anywhere else.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

A valid U.S. passport is required for U.S. citizens. Your U.S. passport must be valid for at least three (3) months from the expected date of departure  from Bulgaria. U.S. citizens traveling on regular tourist passports cannot stay more than a total of 90 days in Bulgaria within a 6 month-period without a Bulgarian visa. This law is strictly enforced.  Travelers who depart the country after a 90 day stay will not be able to re-enter Bulgaria without a visa before the six-month period expires.

U.S. official, service, and diplomatic passport holders must obtain a Bulgarian visa prior to arrival.  If you are traveling on a U.S. official, service, or diplomatic passport, you will not be allowed to enter Bulgaria without a visa. Please plan ahead and apply for your visa early.

• Visit the  Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs  or  Bulgarian Embassy website  for the most current visa information.
• While in Bulgaria, always carry your U.S. passport or a Bulgarian residence permit, known in Bulgaria as lichna karta. U.S. passport cards are recognized as proof of citizenship and identity but are not sufficient for international air travel to and from Bulgaria.

Visitors are required to maintain medical insurance for the duration of stay in Bulgaria. You may be required to present proof of medical insurance at the port of entry.

 Visit the CDC’s  website  for immunization information.

The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors or foreign residents of Bulgaria.

Safety and Security

Terrorism:  Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as: 

• High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.) 
• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists 
• Places of worship 
• Schools 
• Parks 
• Shopping malls and markets 
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)  

The U.S. Department of State has assessed Sofia as being a LOW-threat location for terrorism directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests.

For more information, see our Terrorism page.  

Crime: U.S. government personnel are not prohibited from traveling to any specific areas of Bulgaria due to crime. Most criminal acts in Bulgaria take place in Sofia. Other districts with a slightly lower level of crime than Sofia are Varna, Plovdiv, Burgas, and Stara Zagora. The lowest crime levels are in the districts of Smolyan, Kardzhali, Vidin, Silistra, and Razgrad. Most of Bulgaria experienced a decrease in crime in 2021 compared to 2020.

ATM skimming, credit card fraud, and traffic incidents remain the most common threats to U.S. citizens in Bulgaria. Majority of incidents involving U.S. citizens are monetary in nature, though incidents of racism, ethnic slurs, and harassment of African Americans and religious minorities have occurred. Report crimes to the police by dialing  112.

• Pick pocketing and purse snatching  are frequent occurrences, especially in crowded markets, on shopping streets, near airport ATMs and aboard the busy tram and bus lines. Con artists often operate on public transportation and in bus and train stations.
• Use caution at ATMs . Be wary of people who approach you at an ATM and offer assistance. Do not give your PIN to anyone under any circumstances.
• Police stations should provide translators for anyone who needs to report a crime but will often require the victim to return at a later time or bring his/her own translator.
• Use taxis with meters and clearly marked rates displayed on a sticker on the passenger side of the windshield.  Taxi drivers are known to overcharge unwary travelers  particularly at Sofia Airport, the Central Train Station, and at Black Sea resort areas. The airport has a clearly marked exit within the arrival terminal that leads travelers to metered taxis at a fair rate and a booth to assist with obtaining taxi services. Inquire about the fare before entering a taxi and always account for all luggage, packages, and hand-carried items before paying and releasing a taxi. Popular mobile application based taxi services like Uber or Lyft do not operate in Bulgaria, but there are local taxi services that use similar mobile applications such as Yellow Taxi and Taxime.
• Automobile theft  and break-ins are common in residential areas and in parks. Four-wheel-drive vehicles and late-model European sedans are the most popular targets.
• Burglary  is a common crime. If you plan to reside in Bulgaria on a long-term basis, take measures to protect your home and consider installing window grilles, steel doors with well-functioning locks, and an alarm system.

Demonstrations  occur frequently. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on significant holidays, and during international events. They mainly occur in downtown Sofia in the areas surrounding and between Parliament and the Presidency. 

• Demonstrations can be unpredictable; even those intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational.
• Avoid areas around protests and demonstrations.
• Exercise caution if unexpectedly found in the vicinity of large gatherings or demonstrations.
• Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.
• In an emergency, U.S. citizens should call the police (#112), seek a safe location, and wait for assistance.
• Messages regarding demonstrations are posted on the Embassy's website .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned.  Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.   

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website. 

Arrest Notification:  If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage for further information.

Counterfeit and Pirated Goods: Although counterfeit, and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, they may still be illegal according to local laws. You may also pay fines or have to give them up if you bring them back to the United States. See the U.S. Department of Justice website for more information. 

• Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Bulgaria are severe; convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines.
• Driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail.
• Bulgarian law enforcement authorities may take you in for questioning if you take pictures of certain government buildings, embassies, or military facilities.

Special Circumstances:  Bulgaria is still largely a cash economy, especially outside of major cities.

• You may exchange money at local banks or exchange bureaus. Be wary of people on streets offering to exchange money, they are usually con artists who intend to swindle unsuspecting travelers.
• Damaged or worn U.S. dollar bank notes are often rejected at banks or exchange bureaus.
• Most shops, hotels, and restaurants do not accept traveler's checks. Credit cards may not be accepted outside the major cities. Local banks such as Unicredit, Bulbank, Bulgarian Postbank, and United Bulgarian Bank (UBB) can cash travelers’ checks. 

Corruption remains an important concern of the Bulgarian government. You may refer complaints of public corruption by e-mail to the Ministry of Justice at  [email protected]  or by phone to +359 2 987 0697. All grievances must be submitted in the Bulgarian language.

If you plan to import an automobile to Bulgaria, be aware that customs duties on personal vehicles can be high. All documents must be originals or certified copies and contain an apostille. See more information on the  Bulgarian Customs Agency  website.

Faith-Based Travelers:  See the following webpages for details : :

• Faith-Based Travel Information
• International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
• Human Rights Report – see country reports
• Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers  
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad  

  LGBTQI+ Travelers:  There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTQI+ events in Bulgaria. 

However, LGBTQI+ individuals face cultural stigma and widespread discrimination. LGBTQI+ individuals engaging in public displays of affection may attract unwelcome attention or harassment.

According to LGBTQI+ organizations, courts rejected the right of same-sex partners for protection against domestic violence because the law treats “spousal” only as applying to married persons who cannot legally be the same sex. The Commission for Protection against Discrimination reported receiving very few cases regarding sexual orientation.

See our LGBTQI+ Travel Information page and section six of our Human Rights report for further details.  

Travelers with Disabilities:   Bulgarian law prohibits discrimination against persons with physical and mental disabilities in employment, education, and access to health care, but societal discrimination persists. Bulgarian law requires improved access to buildings for persons with disabilities and new public projects take this requirement into account, but authorities rarely enforce this law in older buildings. Commuting in Bulgaria is very difficult for disabled individuals. Buses, trams, and trolleys generally lack accommodation for disabled travelers.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:   The Bulgarian road system is largely underdeveloped.

• Roads are in poor repair and full of potholes.
• Rockslides and landslides are common on mountainous roads.
• Livestock and animal-drawn carts are common on roads, especially during agricultural seasons.
• In winter, roads are icy and potholes proliferate.
• Some roads lack pavement markings and lights.
• Motorists often drive with dim or missing headlights

Traffic Laws:  Driving in Bulgaria is dangerous. Aggressive driving habits, lack of safe infrastructure, and a mixture of late model and old model cars on the country’s highways contribute to a high fatality rate in road accidents.

• A U.S. state driver’s license is only valid in Bulgaria when used in conjunction with an International Driving Permit.  Such permits must be obtained in the United States prior to travel. Following recent enhanced police enforcement, most rental car companies now require international driving permits to rent cars to U.S. state driver’s license-holders.
• Avoid confrontations with aggressive drivers.  Drivers are known to speed, swerve into oncoming traffic or go the wrong way on divided highways.
• Traffic lights late at night blink yellow in all directions, leaving the right-of-way unclear and contributing to frequent accidents.
• Heavy truck traffic creates numerous hazards along the two-lane routes from the Greek border at Kulata going to Sofia, and from the Turkish border at Kapitan Andreevo to Plovdiv.  Expect long delays at border crossings.
• If pulled over by a police officer,  be aware that under Bulgarian law the police officer may not collect fines on the spot  but may confiscate your driver’s license depending on the offense.
• Right turns on red lights are not permitted.
• Keep your headlights on at all times  no matter the time of day or weather.
• At unregulated crossings, the driver on the right has the legal right-of-way, but this rule is frequently ignored.
• The  use of seat belts is mandatory  in Bulgaria for all passengers.
• Drivers may be charged with driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood level as low as 0.05 percent. The penalties for drivers involved in an accident resulting in injury or death range from a US $25 fine to life imprisonment.
• Check out Bulgaria’s Ministry of Interior’s  road rules guide .

Public Transportation:  Sofia’s metro system and the extensive bus network are reliable modes of transportation. Taxi cabs are plentiful but are known to overcharge passengers. Do insist on use of the meter when using a taxi or use a mobile application based taxi service.

See our  Road Safety page  for more information. For specific information concerning Bulgarian driving permits, vehicle inspection, road tax, and mandatory insurance, please visit the  Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. V isit the  European Commission site  for latest information on speed limits, traffic fines, and regulations.

Aviation Safety Oversight:   The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Bulgaria s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Bulgaria’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the  FAA’s safety assessment page . 

Maritime Travel:  Mariners planning travel to Bulgaria should also check for  U.S. maritime advisories  and  alerts.   Information may also be posted to the   U.S. Coast Guard homeport website , and the  NGA broadcast warnings .

Visa Requirements: Who Needs a Bulgarian Visit Visa?

Not everyone requires a visa to enter Bulgaria. Citizens of the EU, the United States, Canada , Australia , and several other countries are granted visa-free entry for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

However, nationals of certain countries do need a visa for any type of entry to Bulgaria.

Before planning your travel, it’s crucial to confirm whether you need a visa. You can do this by checking the list of visa-exempt countries on the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website .

💡 Tip: Buy travel health insurance before your trip.

Check out popular travel insurance plans and choose one that suits you.

Most plans only cost less than $20 a day.

Understanding the Bulgarian Visit Visa

A Bulgarian visit visa is a short-stay visa, also known as a Type C visa.

It permits its holder to stay in Bulgaria for no longer than 90 days within a six-month period.

The visa can be issued for single, double, or multiple entries, subject to the discretion of the issuing authority.

The Bulgarian Visit Visa Application Process

Step 1: preparing your documents.

The first step in the application process is gathering the required documents . You will need:

• Passport : Your passport should have at least two blank pages and must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned exit from Bulgaria.
• Completed Visa Application Form : This form can be downloaded from the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website.
• Photographs : You will need two recent passport-sized photographs.
• Proof of Accommodation : This can be a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from a host in Bulgaria.
• Proof of Travel : You should provide a copy of your round-trip flight tickets or itinerary.
• Financial Means : You will need to show proof of sufficient financial means to support your stay in Bulgaria, usually through bank statements.
• Travel Insurance : A travel insurance policy covering at least €30,000 in medical costs, including emergency treatment and repatriation.

Step 2: Submitting Your Application

Once you have all your documents in order, you should submit them to the Bulgarian embassy or consulate in your country.

Some embassies may require you to book an appointment for this.

Step 3: Paying the Visa Fee

After submitting your application, you’ll be required to pay the visa fee. The fee varies depending on the type and duration of the visa.

Step 4: Waiting for Visa Processing

After paying the fee, your application will be processed, which can take up to 15 working days. It is recommended to apply at least 15 days before your intended travel date but not earlier than three months.

Step 5: Collecting Your Visa

If your visa is approved, the embassy or consulate will notify you. You can then collect your passport with the visa sticker attached.

Important Tips for Your Application

It’s important to apply early and to ensure all your information is accurate. Additionally, all your documents should be valid for the duration of your stay in Bulgaria.

If you are visiting Bulgaria for special purposes such as medical treatment, cultural events, or sports events, additional documents might be required.

You should always verify this with the Bulgarian embassy or consulate in your country.

Applying for a Bulgarian Visit Visa is a comprehensive process, but it’s straightforward if you understand the steps and meet all the requirements.

Always refer to the official website of the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Once your visa is approved, you’re all set to explore the intriguing and vibrant landscapes of Bulgaria!

Hello, I have a travel document from Belgium and a residence card valid till 2021, Do I need a visa to enter Bulgaria? Thanks

Abdallah, I know the names of these countries are similar but they are still different countries and you still need a visa because Bulgaria is not schengen. Everyone who goes there needs a visa, no matter where they live or where they were born (unless they are from Bulgaria!). Just go to the Bulgarian Embassy in Belgium and they will help you, okay?

We are South Africans with valid Schengen Visas Would Bulgaria accept this?

Bulgaria is not a Schengen country. To visit Bulgaria, you need to obtain a Bulgarian visa,

Entry requirements

This page reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Bulgaria set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Bulgarian Embassy in the UK .

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Bulgaria.

Passport validity requirements

Bulgaria is now part of the Schengen area, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements to travel there.

To enter Bulgaria (and all Schengen countries) your passport must:

have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive. Passports issued after 1 October 2018 are now valid for only 10 years, but for passports issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added if you renewed a passport early

have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document, or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Checks at border control

Make sure you get your passport stamped.

If you’re a visitor, your passport may be stamped when you enter and leave Bulgaria or another country in the Schengen area. Border guards will use passport stamps to check you have not overstayed the  90-day visa-free limit  for stays in the Schengen area. If your passport was not stamped, border guards will presume you have overstayed the visa-free limit.

If your passport was not stamped, show evidence of when and where you entered or left the Schengen area (for example, boarding passes or tickets) and ask the border guards to add the date and location in your passport.

If your passport was not stamped, show evidence of when and where you entered or left Bulgaria (for example, boarding passes or tickets) and ask the border guards to add the date and location in your passport.

Read about passport stamping if you live in Bulgaria .

At Bulgarian border control, you may also need to:

show proof of your accommodation, for example, a hotel booking confirmation or proof of address for a second home

• show proof of your travel insurance
• show a return or onward ticket
• prove that you have enough money for your stay – the amount varies depending on your accommodation

If you have a Withdrawal Agreement residence document for another country, your passport might still be stamped if you are a visitor to Bulgaria.

Visa requirements

Bulgaria is now part of the Schengen area. Visits to Bulgaria now count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in the Schengen area.

You can travel to the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel:

• as a tourist
• to visit family or friends
• to attend business meetings cultural or sports events
• for short-term studies or training

On 31 March, Bulgaria joined Schengen for border control-free travel via air and sea. Border controls will continue to remain at all land and river borders, including those within the Schengen zone. You will need to show your passport at land and river borders, although your passport should not be stamped.

Visits to any other Schengen countries in the 180 days before you travel to Bulgaria will count towards your 90 day visa-free limit in the Schengen area. If you’re travelling to Bulgaria (and all other Schengen countries) without a visa, make sure your whole visit to the Schengen area is within the 90-day limit.

To stay longer (to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), you must meet the Bulgarian government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa or work permit you need with the  Bulgarian Embassy .
