Buying rural property in Burgas

There are quite a few people already doing this - and quite a few who have given up after discovering that there's no way to make a living at it unless you break the rules; even then it's a lot of work for not a lot of money.

You need to jump through all sorts of legal hoops to work as a self-employed person here, and even more to open a company and work as an employee...

Thanks for your reply, maybe I will just buy a property for a holiday home till I'm ready to move permanently,  is it true that after 3 years of d visa I can apply for permanent residency

@JimJ

Maybe we will become digital nomads, anything to get out of UK tbh, I see alot of people moving to bulgaria to escape the British rat race, our journey will begin next year and look forward to taking on a new life in bulgaria

Unfortunately moving has become more difficult due to Brexit and more recent changes in Bulgarian immigration law.

Non-EU citizens can stay 90 days per 180 in an EU country without a visa, so 90 days in Bulgaria and 90 days in the UK or some other non-EU country is doable. Getting a D visa allowing a longer stay or a permanent move to Bulgaria can be a little more challenging.

What grounds to apply for the D visa were you planning to use?
