Hi Danaebrava
You have to have to get a D visa for Bulgaria. Once you have a D visa of any type, it's a matter of going to the immigrations office in any Bulgarian police station or the local Mirgation office once you arrive. You have 90 days to do that but rather do it sooner than later as they want proof that you can pay your way for the duration of the stay.
I also recently discovered that you can register a business here as a foreigner, which will help build a better case if you are a freelancer. http://companybulgaria.eu/UK/companybul … firma.html

That's very odd. A D visa in South Africa is just a long stay visa. I'll see if I can find the online resources for you.
As for starting a business. You need to go to a site like company bulgaria . eu. This site doesn't allow me to post links. Sorry.

Hi there,
Setting up a business in Bulgaria is not difficult - you can either register a company or work as a freelancer. However that might not be considered as sufficient grounds for issuing long stay visa.
There's another option - arriving as an representativie of a foreign company, e.g. seconded expert of a tourist company, trading representative etc. Then you will have a better chance for a long stay visa/permanent residency.
I do not adwise on the investment option ..... it is too expensive and too complicated.
