Bulgarian Retirement Visa Application Package

Document preparation and relocation coordination for foreign retirees and pensioners applying for a Bulgarian long-stay visa and residence permit.

Main package: Bulgarian Retirement Visa Application Package – EUR 950

Bulgaria is increasingly attractive for foreign retirees who want a European base with practical living costs, Schengen access, and a manageable day-to-day structure. For non-EU pensioners, Bulgaria offers a residence route based on retirement or pension income, provided the applicant can show the correct documents, sufficient means, accommodation, health insurance, and a properly prepared visa file. DriehuisGroup helps retirees prepare the application file, avoid common mistakes, and coordinate the practical steps before and after arrival.

Who this is for

  • Non-EU citizens who receive pension or retirement income
  • Applicants who need a Bulgarian Type D visa and residence preparation
  • American, British, Canadian, Australian, South African, Israeli, Turkish, and other non-EU retirees
  • Couples who want to prepare both applications together
