The Black Sea coast attracts tourists from all over the world to enjoy the sun and beach holidays. The country has many modern resorts with poetic names: Sunny Beach, Golden Sands, Pomorie and others. The warm climate and natural beauty are also significant advantages for immigrants. In addition, obtaining a Bulgarian passport is easier than a passport from other EU countries.<\/p>\n<h2>The main ways of obtaining Bulgarian citizenship:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div>By birth. A child of at least one parent who is a Bulgarian citizen automatically obtains Bulgarian citizenship.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Family reunification or marriage. The spouse of a Bulgarian citizen can become a full citizen after 3 years of marriage. The reliability of the union is checked.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Naturalization. A common method, but also the longest. Suitable for those who have already lived in Bulgaria for at least 10 years, have permanent residence, officially work and are ready to confirm their knowledge of the Bulgarian language. Also, the candidate should not have problems with the law.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Repatriation. The easiest and fastest way to obtain citizenship takes about 14 months. The program is designed for people who have at least one direct relative from Bulgaria. You can confirm your ethnicity with the help of official documents. Leave a request on the website to get a free consultation and find out if you are eligible for the repatriation program.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Benefits of Bulgarian passport<\/h2>\n<p>Every citizen of Bulgaria has all the advantages of EU citizens.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div>Visa-free traveling to more than 170 countries of the world.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Opportunity of education in the best schools and universities free of charge.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Social payments, pensions, benefits.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Business development in any EU country with favorable tax rates.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Free medical care in public clinics.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It is important to note that for immigrants from the CIS countries, adaptation will be simple due to linguistic and cultural similarities.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it possible to obtain Bulgarian citizenship by investment?<\/h2>\n<p>It was possible until 2022, then the program was abolished due to too few applicants. Now only permanent residence can be issued for investments.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the reasons for denial of allegiance?<\/h2>\n<p>The reasons may be different. For example, providing false information, bad credit history, breaking the law.<\/p>\n<h2>How to draw up documents correctly?<\/h2>\n<p>The documents` draw up is a quite complex procedure, which is required knowledge of the international legislation. Contact Union Permits to get the full list of documents and assistance in their preaparetion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bulgaria is an actively developing state with a rich history and ancient traditions.
