The Type D visa is your front door to living in Bulgaria. Non-EU nationals can't just show up and apply for a residence card from inside the country; almost every long-stay route starts with a Type D visa applied for at a Bulgarian embassy or consulate abroad, on a specific legal ground (work, study, family, investment, and so on). Once you arrive with the D visa, you then apply for the matching residence permit at the Migration Directorate.
Non-EU (third-country) nationals who intend to stay in Bulgaria longer than 90 days and need to enter on a recognised long-stay ground before applying for a residence permit.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
