ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS:

A U.S. passport is required for U.S. citizens who are not also Bulgarian nationals. As a U.S. citizen, you are authorized to stay for a total of 90 days within a six-month period without a Bulgarian visa. This law is strictly enforced. You can file an application to extend your stay beyond the original 90 days for urgent or humanitarian reasons, but the application must be submitted to regional police authorities no later than five days prior to the end of the original 90-day period. Travelers who have been in the country for 90 days and then leave will not be able to re-enter Bulgaria before the six-month period expires. Travelers using official or diplomatic passports must secure visas prior to arrival. Please plan and apply for your visa early. Upon entering the country, Bulgarian immigration authorities request that all foreigners declare the purpose of their visit and provide their intended address.

For further information on entry and exit requirements, contact the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria at 1621 22nd Street NW, Washington, DC 20008; tel. (202) 387-7969 (main switchboard (202) 387-0174), or the Bulgarian Consulate in New York City at 121 East 62nd Street, New York, NY 10021; tel. (212) 935-4646. Visit the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria’s website for the most current visa information.

If you intend to live or work in Bulgaria for more than 90 days within six months (or more than six months within a year), you must obtain a “D” visa prior to arrival. As of July 2008, U.S. citizens must apply for a “D” visa at a Bulgarian Embassy/Consulate in the country where they are legally resident. If you wish to obtain a “D” visa while already present in Bulgaria -- having entered as a tourist, for example -- you will have to leave Bulgaria in order to apply for a visa at a Bulgarian embassy or consulate in the United States. U.S. citizens residing in the United States should apply at the Bulgarian representative office (either the Embassy or a Consulate) nearest their home. Visit the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Bulgarian Embassies/Consulates websites for more information on visas.

The Bulgarian authorities do not consider presentation of a copy of the passport sufficient for identification purposes. Visitors should carry their original passports with them at all times; however, this is not a requirement for U.S. citizens who hold residence permits for Bulgaria. A U.S. passport card is also recognized as a proof of citizenship and identity, but is not accepted for use for international air travel; it can be used only to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda at land border crossings or sea ports-of-entry.

Traveling with Bulgarian Citizen Minors: Bulgarian authorities are particularly strict in matters involving the travel of Bulgarian children. If a dual or multi-national Bulgarian child is traveling out of Bulgaria with only one parent or another adult, the absent parent(s) must sign a certified/legalized declaration authorizing custody for travel purposes. This declaration must be presented to authorities upon departure. If the declaration is signed in Bulgaria, certification by a Bulgarian notary public is required. If signed in the United States., the declaration must be certified by a notary public and the court in the jurisdiction where the notary is licensed. The declaration must then be legalized with an apostille issued by the individual state's Secretary of State or Governor’s office, and a Bulgarian translation by a licensed translation company to be certified by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Please note Bulgarian authorities do not require such documentation for minors who are not Bulgarian.

We are unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Bulgaria.
