@janemulberry no they don’t keep the passport… we flew to Sofia while we waited for the D visa to process. I did hear that some states in America do though. But in London, no.I waited for my retirement D visa for 6 weeks. Some waited ... Read More

I think it’s a call to leave this village. If the mayor and neighbours all know about her behaviours, I doubt reporting to the police will help your situation. Read More

Residency permit by Kath948381
My residency card runs until.early next year now as my husband's elderly I'll mother has been discharged into his care at the UK . Should I renew my card early or should I try and renew my card if needed late?
Definitely apply early. If your immigration office is strict and always sticks to the books and rules, they can refuse to let you renew your card if you are late, as the rule is two weeks before at the latest. If that’s the case, you will need ... Read More

@Deustetsuohello. I didn’t expect Asia is your destination, was thinking Europe or UK. I hope that I didn’t give you false hope, pet courier might be extremely expensive from Bulgaria to Thailand, because it’s not drivable and is ... Read More

@Deustetsuohello, I’m sorry for your situation. May I ask which country you are going back to? The reason why I am asking is, there are a few couriers I know of will drive and deliver pets from and to Bulgaria. However, I have no idea what ... Read More

Sofia Airport to the center by ButterMyPaws19
Are there regular buses from thr Airport and how long does the journey take from the airport to the city centre? I looked at getting a taxi but they wanted 130€ for the one way, thirteen minute journey 🤦♀️! I don't ...
If you mean going to Sofia center from the airport, there’s no way a taxi would charge you 130€ for that… our first trip to Sofia, we arrived at 2am, no metro at midnight so we prebooked an OK taxi on Facbook messenger. The driver ... Read More
Renewal of Bulgarian residency card by Kath948381
My card is due to be renewed next February, if I'm not in Bulgaria at the time can I renew it after theis month ?
I would renew it before you leave the country (before the card expires)… not just because of a fine… I think in most circumstances, you will be required to reapply D visa (if needed) and residence. Read More
