Bulgaria’s Residence by Investment (RBI) programme combines flexibility, security, and the advantages of EU membership, making it one of the most competitive residency options in Europe.
Why Bulgaria?
As a full member of the European Union since 2007 and part of the Schengen Area, Bulgaria offers investors seamless travel across Europe. A Schengen-compliant permanent residence (PR) card is typically issued within 4–6 months, granting swift access to all Schengen-zone countries.
Unlike many other European programmes, Bulgaria has no nationality restrictions, no language or education requirements, and no obligation to relocate. This makes it a truly accessible and flexible pathway for global investors.
Attractive Tax and Financial Advantages
Bulgaria’s fiscal environment is one of the most appealing in Europe, with a flat 10% corporate and personal income tax rate—the lowest in the EU. With the Euro scheduled for adoption in January 2026, investors gain additional security and stability.
Investments are directed into regulated mutual funds, ETFs, and alternative investment funds (AIFs), all certified by the Bulgarian government and supervised by the Financial Supervision Commission. This guarantees full transparency and professional management.
Flexible and Liquid Investment Options
A key advantage of Bulgaria’s RBI programme is the option to invest in open-ended funds, ensuring liquidity and access to capital whenever needed.
Recent amendments to the Aliens Act allow investors to fully exit after just five years while maintaining permanent residence status indefinitely—a unique feature that enhances flexibility and long-term value.
Who Benefits Most?
Bulgaria’s RBI programme is ideally suited for:
High-net-worth individuals seeking EU residency.
Entrepreneurs and digital nomads needing quick EU market access.
Retirees looking for stability, affordability, and comfort in Europe.
Families focused on quality education, healthcare, and lifestyle.
With investments managed entirely by experienced professionals and no operational involvement required, Bulgaria offers one of the simplest, safest, and most attractive residence by investment opportunities in Europe.
