Vous devez seulement prouver ke vous disposez de plus de 3oo euro pour vivre mensuellement ( contrat de travail.. revenus de rente ou autres... )
Sur place vous remplissez un formulaire ..payez un timbre fiscal de 2 dollars..
Concernant l adresse vous mettez celle de l hotel ou vous residez

vous devriez trouver sur le net les infos  C est tres simple je viens de le faire en ROUMANIE

address and bank account first

Are you both passport holders from EU countries?

You'll need a permanent address and you need a bank acc statement or letter from the bank saying you are solvent and need no financial help from the Bulgarian state, you then go to the police who will issue a registration card. I think the cost is about 30 Lev

It's nice to see more than one language on the forum. Translating is no problem; just turn to Google - maybe, being a Bulgarian forum it should be in Bulgarian!

"You only need to prove ke you have more than 3oo euro to live monthly (contract work .. annuity income or other ...)
On site you fill out a form .. pay a tax stamp $ 2 ..
On the address that you put in the hotel or you reside

you should find information on the net C is very simple I just do ROMANIA

Unfortunately, the response makes not a lot of sense translated as it is only necessary to register before your entry stamp expires, usually after ninety days.

The rules can be found on the government website or, for EU citizens the UK Foreign Office website has excellent advice. It is necessary to prove you have an adequate income not to be a burden on the state but a bank account is not essential for this purpose. It is also necessary to prove you have adequate health cover.

To become a resident you need to own or rent a place. you just come with your passeport no need to register it's like if you go to France nothing complicated.

Come over buy or rent and if you're planning to live here then you can apply for a residential card.

c'est la Bulgarie ici ce n'est pas la Roumanie, on ne vous demande pas si vous avez an income and you need an address not the hotel
