Residence Permit for EU Citizens – Costs 2026 Bulgaria

EU citizens do not need a VISA to enter Bulgaria, but a valid ID card or a valid passport. However, if you are staying for more than three months, a residence permit is required.

A long-stay residence permit is also issued to family members of a citizen - spouse and children. 

The procedure in three simple steps: 

1) submission of a complete set of documents 

 2) checking data and taking a photograph, and 

 3) getting the document. 

We offer on-site assistance at the Migration Office in Sofia and the Migration Office in Plovdiv. 

The service fee is €300 plus government fee of €34 for express delivery.
