Bulgarian Residence Permit and D Visa Procedures

If you wish to live, work, or manage your business operations in Bulgaria, you must obtain a long-term residence permit. At Mesken Bulgaria, we professionally handle all legal and administrative procedures on your behalf, from your D-type visa application through to the moment you receive your residence card.

What Are the Ways to Obtain a Residence Permit?

Under Bulgarian law, there are multiple legal grounds for obtaining a residence permit. We analyze the most suitable method for investors, businesspeople, and professionals and initiate the process accordingly.

Login via the Commercial Representative Office (TRO):

If you already have an active company in Turkey, you can obtain residence permits for yourself and your company representatives by opening a representative office affiliated with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI). This is one of the most preferred and reliable methods for businesspeople.

Residence Permit Based on Company Formation and Employment:

If you employ 10 Bulgarian citizens on a full-time basis at the company you establish in Bulgaria, you will be legally entitled to apply for a residence permit.

Family Reunification and Retirement:

If you are the spouse or child of a Bulgarian citizen or a holder of a residence permit, or if you are a Turkish citizen who has earned the right to retire, you may apply for a simplified residence permit under special categories.
