90 day rule - what haven't I thought of? by janemulberry

Hubby is getting increasingly impatient with the wait for us to legally move to Bulgaria once I get my state pension and can qualify for the D visa. Now TRO is more difficult, and we haven't magicked up enough cash to get in on property investment, ...

@janemulberryJust curious as we definitely don't have 320,000€ (yet , never say never) but would that 320000 have to be in one single property or could it be spread over several, and would yhey have to be purchased all at the same time (or ... Read More

@JimJ the money isn't the problem, we have a private income, but the age is, we'd like to move before we are too old to enjoy it and if we don't qualify for a d-visa until retirement and they keep raising the pension age........... 😔 Read More

What happens when the uk government raises the pension age again, does this 'move the goal posts' requiring us to wait a further 2 years before we qualify for a retirement d-visa? (We don't have a private pension) Read More

Shotguns and rifles by graemewalker

I have rifles and shotguns as I do a lot of shooting in the UK . I'm wondering if you have to register in Bulgaria and how? Also has anyone had any exposure in bringing their equipment over travel etc.

Possibly a stupid question but does this apply to air rifles too? as I understand the rules in the uk (and France) are different for air powered weapons. Read More

Buying property in Bulgaria as a British Citizen by Tommydgreen

Hi all! i hope everyone is well.I am looking to buy property in Bulgaria as British Citizen only, as you may know, we are no longer in the EU, I am wondering how I would go about this? as I’ve heard I would have to register a business? could ...

ButterMyPaws19

So, we own (outright) 2 shops in the uk and rent them out (this is our income). Can we use those as a TRO when we are at the point of wanting to apply for residency? Not knowing what TRO's are or actually do, different from the company one needs to ... Read More

Chicken or egg, which comes first?! by ButterMyPaws19

Can't decide if we are excited or frustrated. We don't know whether to try and set up (or buy) a company in advance so that when we find a property to buy we can hit the ground running or to look at properties and set it all up when we are at the ...

Ahhhh thank you, we'd never even considered renting. Makes so much sense, especially as we 'think' we have some very specific requirements for the property we want to live in (probably not unusual ones but important to us) and I'm not under any ... Read More
