About the Programme

The Bulgarian citizenship programme provides an opportunity to relocate to Europe within a short period for entrepreneurs, information technology specialists, lawyers, and experts in various fields. The status of a citizen of a European Union country ensures the right to free employment, access to high-quality education, and the opportunity to acquire real estate in any EU country without restrictions.

For entrepreneurs, a Bulgarian passport opens unrestricted access to the European market, simplifies financial transactions, and provides an opportunity to optimise tax liabilities. For families, the new status provides confidence in the future, ensures security, flexibility, and the right to relocate to any European Union country without bureaucratic complications. A Bulgarian passport will become your key to stability, mobility, and new opportunities in Europe.

Visa-Free Destinations with a Bulgarian Passport

Processing of Bulgarian citizenship under a simplified procedure

A Bulgarian passport grants the right to visit 170 countries without obtaining a visa in advance.

Visa Free (visa-free regime) — 116 countries

A Bulgarian passport grants the right to cross the borders of European Union countries without visas, as well as to conduct business, reside permanently, and study in any of the member states.

27 European Union countries (Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg and other).

Visa on arrival — 46 countries

A Bulgarian passport provides the right to visit more than 40 countries without obtaining a visa at a consulate or online — this may be done upon arrival at the destination.

ETA (electronic travel authorisation) — 8 countries

With a Bulgarian passport, it is possible to cross the borders of a number of countries without visiting a consulate or visa centre — the visa may be arranged online, which takes a minimum amount of time.

When obtaining visas to Canada and the United States, citizens of Bulgaria enjoy a clear advantage compared to residents of post-Soviet countries. For example, the refusal rate for U.S. visas for Bulgarians is 6%, which is significantly lower than 20% — the average refusal rate for CIS countries. In the case of Canadian visas, Bulgarians are refused in approximately 1% of cases, whereas for the post-Soviet republics the average number of refusals is very high.

Client Reviews and Case Studies

Valeriya Izbitskaya Translator

For work, I often had to visit Sweden and felt quite comfortable there. Moreover, I had developed many professional contacts, and the issue of employment was being resolved well. However, I had absolutely no desire to go through the entire lengthy path of naturalisation. At Yurpass, they suggested using my mother’s Bulgarian nationality. Accordingly, they arranged a Bulgarian passport for me, with which I was able to move to Sweden. The lawyers worked conscientiously — efficiently and professionally.

Alexander Dushkov Entrepreneur

I would like to thank Jurpass for its assistance in processing Bulgarian citizenship. My ancestors were deported to the territory of the Russian Federation at the beginning of the last century. However, we tried to preserve our identity and were always active members of the Bulgarian diaspora in Russia. Now, due to political and economic instability, I decided to return to my historical homeland. Fortunately, I had all the documents confirming Bulgarian nationality in hand. But the lawyers took over all the bureaucratic work and procedural complexities. I received my passport in 14 months. I am grateful to you for the work done!

Veronika Arefyeva Nurse

I am very glad that I turned specifically to you. You are doing an excellent job — the processing of Bulgarian citizenship went perfectly. I did not have to strain myself much, because the lawyers took on most of the tasks. There was some anxiety, of course, but they also provide excellent support. Thank you very much!

Rustem Atsalamov Welder

My wife and I were satisfied with your work. We had long wanted to move to the EU, where things are calmer. We decided to turn to professionals, and acquaintances recommended Yurpass. They advised us to use my wife’s Bulgarian origin. They found all the documents, helped us submit them, and go through the interview. Now my wife has a passport, and we live in France. Thank you very much for your work.
