Straight talk

The honest version

Immigration to Bulgaria looks simple on paper. It isn’t. The forms are the visible part; the real work is choosing the correct legal ground and building a file a consulate or the Migration Directorate can’t easily refuse. One missed step and the cheap DIY route turns into a rejection, a lost state fee, and months you don’t get back.

We don’t sell hope, and we don’t quote a case we haven’t read. You book a consultation, a migration-law attorney reads your situation, and you get a straight answer with a fixed price — or an honest “this won’t work, and here’s why.”

What we handle

The step after arrival — filed with the Migration Directorate so your stay is legal and counts toward long-term residence.

Where applications fail

Why Bulgarian immigration applications get refused

Most refusals aren’t bad luck — they’re avoidable. These are the ones we see and fix before a file is ever submitted:

Wrong legal ground

The application is built on a basis that does not fit the applicant — the most expensive mistake, because it fails on principle.

Document & translation errors

Missing apostille, uncertified translation, or details that do not match across the passport, form and evidence.

Weak proof of funds / insurance

Bank evidence or the €30,000 health cover does not meet what the consulate expects for that route.

Timing & consulate specifics

Filed too late, or against rules the specific consulate applies differently — we check before you book the appointment.

What to prepare

Documents we’ll ask you for

The exact list depends on your ground; this is the usual starting point. We tell you precisely what yours needs in the consultation.

Valid passport (6–12 months validity)
Completed Type D application form
Passport photos (ICAO standard)
Proof of funds / stable income
Health insurance (€30,000 cover)
Accommodation evidence in Bulgaria
Clean criminal-record certificate
Apostille & certified Bulgarian translation
Documents proving your specific ground
Prices

Straight pricing

The consultation is the entry point; the full service is quoted once an attorney has read your file. Government fees, translations, apostilles and insurance are third-party costs — not our fee — and we list them so nothing surprises you.

How payment works

No hidden mechanics

You pay for the consultation to book it. After an attorney reads your file, you get a fixed quote and the service fee is invoiced then — before any work starts. We accept bank transfer and card. Government fees and third-party costs are paid directly where they’re due.

For companies and partners, batch invoicing is arranged when the candidates’ documents are submitted and the count is confirmed.

Who this is for

Built for people who want it done once, properly

If you only want free advice or a free document check, we’re not your provider. We work for people who want the case handled correctly, once.
Why us

Quality first, then the price

Your case is prepared and represented by licensed, bar-registered Bulgarian migration-law attorneys we work with. Representation happens where the law requires a Bulgarian advokat; everything else is coordinated so your file is complete, compliant and submitted on time.

We work on real cases, not templates, and we tell you the risks before you pay. That’s the whole point of the consultation — you leave it knowing exactly where you stand.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

How much does a Bulgarian immigration service cost?

It depends on the route: individual services start from €980 (residence permit) to €3,190 (Golden Visa / PR). A focused consultation runs €120–€180. You get one fixed price after a migration-law attorney reads your file.

Do you offer free assessments?

No. Eligibility and documents are reviewed in a paid consultation — that is where your case actually gets read. We do not estimate approval chances by phone, email or WhatsApp.

Who actually handles my case?

Licensed, bar-registered Bulgarian migration-law attorneys we work with. Representation is provided where the law requires a Bulgarian advokat; the rest of the file is coordinated end to end.

How long does the process take?

A Type D visa is usually 30–60 days; an employer-sponsored work permit around 90–100 working days; the residence permit after arrival a few weeks. Timelines assume a complete, correctly-filed application — incomplete files are what cause delays.

What happens if my application is refused?

We assess the real reason before you ever file, which is the point of the review. If a refusal still happens, we advise on the correct next step — appeal, re-file on the right ground, or a different route.

Do you work with companies or multiple candidates?

Yes. Employers hiring foreign workers and agencies or firms sending several candidates get volume pricing. The per-candidate rate is set when the batch documents are submitted, based on the number of candidates in that review.

Can you help my family come with me?

Yes. Once your own status is in place we handle family reunification for a spouse and children, including the relationship and income evidence.

How do I pay?

The consultation is paid to book it. The service is invoiced after the fixed quote, before work starts. We accept bank transfer and card; government and third-party fees are paid where due.
