For the older generation, we offer a very economical, convenient, and interesting option for moving to Europe—a Bulgarian residence permit for retirees.
Bulgaria is one of the few countries that issues specialized residence permits for pensioners, which can be extended an unlimited number of times, leading to permanent residence and possibly even citizenship.
Requirements for the applicant:
- have a pension certificate
- availability of a residential address
- having a bank account in Bulgaria
- medical insurance
- no criminal record
To open an account and rent a place to live, you will need to visit Bulgaria first.
Important: a pension may be granted not only based on age, but also based on disability and other grounds.
The cost of obtaining a Bulgarian residence permit for pensioners starts at €1500 . The final cost is determined based on the applicant's complete set of documents.
The following scenario is very popular for obtaining a residence permit under this program:
- preliminary arrival in the country
- Buying affordable housing on the Black Sea coast
- subsequent application for a residence permit
This way, two basic requirements for residency are met: a permanent address and a bank account to demonstrate income. However, the process can also be completed using rental housing.
Note: If you're not a pensioner, you might be interested in reviewing our archived programs for obtaining Bulgarian citizenship. Incidentally, it's one of the strongest in the world.
