Ways to qualify

Grounds for Bulgarian residence

There are several legal routes to residence — we identify the one that fits you and build the case for it.

🏢

Company & business

Through owning or running a Bulgarian company (EOOD/OOD) and doing real business here.

🏬

Trade representative office

A foreign company registers a trade representative office in Bulgaria; up to two of its representatives obtain residence.

💰

Investment

Residence — and a fast track to citizenship — through government-approved investment routes.

👪

Family reunification

Once you hold residence, bring your family — spouse and children — to live with you. Also marriage to a Bulgarian citizen.

🌴

Retirement & income

For pensioners and people with sufficient passive income and health insurance.

🩸

Bulgarian origin

If you were born in Bulgaria or have Bulgarian roots, you may qualify for residence.

💼

Employment

Residence on the basis of legal work — including the single work-and-residence permit.

🎓

Study

For students enrolled at a Bulgarian university or educational institution.

⭐ A popular route — office & family

A foreign company opens a trade representative office in Bulgaria (registered with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce). Up to two representatives obtain Bulgarian residence through it — and can then bring their families to live in Bulgaria through family reunification. We set up the whole structure and handle every step for you.

The tax advantage

Become a Bulgarian tax resident

Residence in Bulgaria lets you become a Bulgarian tax resident — and Bulgaria taxes residents at a flat 10% on their worldwide income, one of the lowest rates in the entire European Union.

10%

flat tax on your worldwide income — no progressive brackets.

0–5%

tax on dividends distributed to you as an owner.

60+

double-taxation treaties, so the same income is never taxed twice.

Tax residency depends on your personal circumstances — the time you spend here and your centre of interests. We advise you on how to establish and structure it correctly and fully legally.
