Bulgaria Approves Digital Nomad Residence Permit and New 10‑Year ID Cards

Key Point 

  • Bulgaria adopted regulatory amendments introducing a digital nomad residence permit and updated rules for issuing 10‑year identity cards

Digital Nomad Visa  

Bulgaria approved a set of regulatory changes that introduce a new digital nomad residence permit and centralize the issuance of Bulgarian identity documents.

The amendments align the implementing regulations under the Foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria Act with recent legislative updates. This alignment ensures clearer and more predictable procedures for foreign nationals seeking long‑term residence.

The new digital nomad permit provides a formal residence pathway for remote workers who do not have a local employer. The government emphasized that the updated rules specify the exact documentation required for long‑term residence applications. This clarification improves consistency for both applicants and the authorities responsible for processing permits.

In addition to the digital nomad provisions, the government approved changes that enable the issuance of 10-year identity cards.
