@neilfrost38I don't know the specifics of Spain or Iberdrola. But, in general, folks are moving away from "net metering" type arrangements, where your usage is netted off against your consumption. Solar uptake has been so successful, that most grids ... Read More

@Alli EliIf you're Italian you enjoy Freedom of Movement and thus the right to move to Spain for any reason. The process you probably should do is the EU Citizen Registration which makes you a legal resident of Spain. They'll issue your NIE and it ... Read More

@AMK888I suggest you don't worry about BGP. Just get yourself a reputable Bulgarian attorney and get them to bring your companies up to date... and check on the property tax situation. (I'm happy to share mine if you PM me.)Also, 2007 is a long time ... Read More

@JimJGood luck with the TKR!It will be interesting to see how you get on... and we'd love to know why TKR rather than PKR, and how much it costs you. I got a quote for a THR (hip vs knee) from Tokuda in Sofia and (with my NHIF coverage) it was less ... Read More

@SaxioFibank... Bulbank... PostBank... UBB... DSK... all OK, any differences are very minor. Read More

@SaxioIt's rare that you need one (and I doubt you do), but if so you ask the Bulgarian tax office to give you one. You obviously can't get one until you've become a legal resident of Bulgaria and got your official tax ID... and then lived here for ... Read More

@JuilaOuiI think it's still possible to get a bank account for an EU citizen, but the KYC/AML stuff has been tightened up so it's easier if you already have your residence permit/EU Citizen Registration. Unless it's urgent, I'd recommend trying for ... Read More

@JimJMany EU countries, including Bulgaria, routinely accept a foreign EHIC as proof of health insurance. Even though, as you say, it's officially only for emergencies. In any case, the local policy here in Bulgaria is a very cheap policy that also ... Read More

@JuilaOuiYou are right, it's MUCH easier for EU citizens. You're entitled to live and work in Bulgaria by virtue of your passport, so the EU Citizen Registration step is just a formality that you SHOULD do, if you wish stay longer than 90 days. If ... Read More

@JuilaOuiSounds like a pain! Typically, you need a document to be NOTARIZED by your landlord. It can be EITHER the rental contract AND/OR the Landlord Declaration. If he's in the USA, my guess is that it's easiest if he does it at the Bulgarian ... Read More

@JanearnasalamIt's a comfy option, but it's not a standard type of installation in Bulgaria, especially if it's a renovation rather than a new build. And it's probably one of the more expensive heating options you could choose. From what I see, the ... Read More

@Geoff BeadleMy neighbour (near Shipka, Balkan Mountains) is a very good borehole contractor. He does travel around Bulgaria, but that obviously makes the job significantly more expensive. If you can't find a local guy, and you decide you want his ... Read More

@seamus452I doubt you need yet another currency exchange option if you already have Wise/Revolut.I don't know the current rules on property purchase (if that's what the large-ish sum is for), but I transferred direct to the buyer rather than ... Read More

@susanmcallisterTough ask, I'm afraid. Current AI tools are almost certainly better than you'll be after spending a year or two (and a bunch of money) learning your new trade. My guess is that you have more chance if you learn the latest wizzy AI ... Read More

@PepitoFiestaI get that. However, if you're mostly in Bulgaria, then your Bulgarian license should be accepted in USA for your short visits.If you really want to hang on to a foreign license, then it should be possible to simply apply for a brand ... Read More
