Investment Immigration Bulgaria

Bulgarian residency through bond investment:

Bulgaria provides permanent residency by investment in government bonds amounting to €511,292 (BGN 1 million). The portfolio of Government bonds is for a five-year investment term. No further payment is required. At the end of the five-year period, the full amount of BGN 1 million (€511,292) will be returned to the investor without any accrued interest. The expenditure is guaranteed in full by the Government bonds.

Bulgaria citizenship by investment:

Bond holders will qualify for Bulgarian citizenship after 5 years in the Bulgarian residency programme. The citizenship option can be quickly tracked by increasing the investment amount by an additional € 511,292.

Please note, however, that the Bulgarian “program” does not give a clearly defined and predictable path to citizenship. If potential applicants are considering this option, they are advised to contact us for individual advice.

Key facts:

  • Investment of €511,292 for permanent residency
  • Risk free investment in government bonds
  • Full family residency
  • No requirement to reside
  • No language requirement

The Bulgarian golden visa scheme could be appealing to investors wanting a risk-free investment in bonds or those who choose not to invest in real estate in one of the other European programmes.
