Hi all
As of 12th August, I will have been in Bulgaria for 3 months. I keep reading things about you needing to have a temporary residence permit (or D visa). I don't want permanent residence as I'm leaving at the end of September.
Do I need to apply for a temporary permit? If so, how would I do this?
I did call the Bulgaria embassy in London who said they had abolished D visas since joining the EU, but I've read comments online that suggest otherwise!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Do I need a visa for staying over 3 months?

Hi Louise,
three months after your arrival, you have to register your presence with the regional migration directorate:
9000 Варна, ул. Сан Стефано № 1, Phone Nr: 052/652 349 and 652 347. This is not the same as the former D visas, nor is it the same as registering for permanent residence, which would be after five years stay. More information on documents needed, fines etc.: europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/residence/documents-formalities/registering-residence/bulgaria/
Good luck!
