Hi all,

We are wanting to move to Bulgaria, and are currently in SA.
My husbands company has a branch there, and have offered the move to us. The only issue is, we need to get all the paper work together ourselves, and I have NO idea where to even start.

He will be on an internal transfer as a specialist, and i have received the link to the Employment agency website where i should be able to get forms etc, but the forms themselves are in Bulgarian!

Any assistance pleaaassee?

Basically you will need the following:

1. Arranging the visas - in your case your husband should receive documents form the company he works for, that will serve as a formal reason for the visa application.

Here's the website of Bulgarian Foreign Ministry:
mfa

And here's a link for the visa application;
visas

Most likely you'll be needing a D type visa.

2. Arranging the accomodation
You just have to define your criterias, then select appropriate area from the city and start looking for your accommodation. You can do it alone, in websites like imoti.bg, or address a real estate agent. The second option is better.

3. Tickets/luggage/travel )

that is the shortest possible plan.
