Internet is either very good or non-existent it seems. I managed fine with 4g through my phone, but changed to home wi-fi about a year ago, it’s 10-12 leva per month and we can stream TV in two rooms and use other devices with no problems. ... Read More

INFORMATION PLEASE by EARLGROUP2002
I was seriously thinking of moving house to Bulgaria and already purchasing a villa in Burgas. Then I read some of the horror stories posted here. Many of the posts make me believe that the country is totally corrupted to the bone.The judiciary, ...
Corruption is rife in all countries, it’s why we left the uk. It doesn’t directly affect us in Bulgaria, in fact when we lived in any other country it made little difference to our daily lives. Read More

Dog Tax in Bulgaria by Adriana Petrova
Hi all, just to check how many of you are paying the annual dog tax :)
Nope, didn’t even know it was a thing. there are so many exemptions I doubt many people do pay. The money is meant to deal with strays, yet I’ve seen only two dogs with tags in my municipality out of all the strays, so I don’t ... Read More

Driving through France this summer? by SimCityAT
Low emission zones are now in force across more parts of France than ever before, and drivers can face fines of up to £154 if they don't plan ahead.You can order the sticker from here. https://certificat-air.gouv.fr
Thankfully it’s just a brief transit through France and I doubt the motorways from Calais or Dunquerque to the Belgium border will have such restrictions. I typically don’t go into any towns or cities on the drive to Bulgaria and the ... Read More

Contact a friend or local lawyer to act on your behalf, the municipality will have your vehicle details, maybe you/they can explain and even prove how long it has been out of Bulgaria, and avoid paying some of the taxes, or at least find out how to ... Read More
