In the evaluation of applications, having a professionally completed CV is of paramount importance. It significantly influences the decision-making process by highlighting your skills and experiences.
These investment options not only contribute to Bulgaria’s economic development but also support local communities and institutions. Additional benefits of the program include family eligibility, immediate family reunification, access to Bulgarian education and healthcare, and visa-free travel within the Schengen Area. There is no minimum stay requirement in Bulgaria, except for a visit to submit biometric data and collect residency cards.
This program is particularly attractive for those seeking to diversify their portfolio and establish a European Union base for themselves and their family. The dynamic Bulgarian real estate market and Sophia’s popularity in the tech and startup community make it an appealing option. The city offers excellent flight connectivity and a cost of living that can be significantly lower than in Western European countries.
