Our house purchase completes soon so our next step is residency.

Would appreciate advice on what to do. I have printed the forms out and I know we need to make an appointment at the Embassy in London, are they fairly quick as we have to get the police check from ACRO and they’re i believe only valid 3 months.

Trying to avoid too much tooing and froing 😀

Not sure about how we get the apostilised done, is that through email or personal visit to immigration lawyer?

Hello jeanmandredeix,

Hint: there's a mention of the BG embassy in London, and ACRO, which is the British Criminal Records Office. If I had to guess, I'd reckon the poster is from the UK.... 😎

Apostilles can be organised online in the UK. You can usually get whoever issues the document(s) in question to send them direct to the Legalisation Office ( www(dot)gov(do)uk/get-document-legalised ) who'll then send them direct to you. Let me know if you want a step-by-step list of how to do this; you certainly don't need an immigration lawyer for it 😎

My bad! I must have missed that part! 😅

This thread is now on the Bulgaria forum.
