Bulgaria has introduced a digital nomad visa, joining other EU countries offering extended stays for remote employees and self-employed workers.
Bulgaria has launched a digital nomad visa program for remote workers and self-employed professionals. This adds Bulgaria to the growing list of EU countries—including Portugal, Spain, and Estonia—offering dedicated visas for location-independent workers.
Digital nomad visas typically allow stays of 1–2 years and require proof of income (usually $2,000–$3,500 per month) and sometimes health insurance. Bulgaria's program specifics—duration, income threshold, and application process—should be confirmed with the Bulgarian State Agency for Bulgarians Abroad or a local immigration office.
Bulgaria joins the EU's digital nomad visa club, offering an affordable long-stay option for remote workers.
If you're a remote worker or freelancer looking to base yourself in the EU, Bulgaria is one of the most affordable options. The cost of living is low, and the visa process is generally straightforward. Compare it with Portugal's D7 visa (for passive income) and Spain's digital nomad visa to find the best fit for your income level and lifestyle.
