@MountainLifeThe property-owning company is a common device here as it's required by all non-EU citizens wanting to own a house with some land. Typically, these are non-trading entities as they merely hold the asset (or assets, if you have several ... Read More

@ZooldroolThis article is a Bulgarian perspective, so, of course, there are bound to be significant differences between the main cities (Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas) and everywhere else. But from a more international perspective (e.g. for a Brit ... Read More

@MountainLifeHow big is your company? If it's not some high-powered multinational it's usually most cost-effective to do your own bookkeeping. There are loads of desktop and web accounting apps. You might still want a professional to help you with ... Read More

@mikefl69Yes! No! Maybe? :-) Read More

@SimCityAT"Must" is maybe a bit strong. But, yes, it's probably sensible for Brits to get their TIEs sorted before EES.To be clear, such TIE-less Brits are those who, like me, are beneficiaries of the Brexit/Withdrawal Agreement and are still ... Read More

@key2codeAs the husband of a Spanish citizen, I doubt you'll have any significant problems. For residence, you have two options - Family Reunification or NLV (No Lucrativa Visa, as a retiree) - and both are straightforward.Healthcare is good, and ... Read More

@JimJFirstly, this guy is an Ultranationalist (Revival) and one of the organizers of anti-Euro protests, so his articles are hardly objective commentary.Secondly, comparing Bulgaria and Greece is preposterous, there's such a massive difference in ... Read More

@RstefanovaMy GP is Dr. Jonov who has a daily clinic (M-F, 2-5) at Medline (decent private hospital in central Plovdiv). His private consult is around 50 lv. You can have him as your official GP if you are enrolled in NHIF (which you should be, if ... Read More

@james1992mainThe steps outlined by you (ChatGPT) seem about right. HOWEVER, I think it has fudged over HOW you qualify by virtue of your Bulgarian EOOD, as simply having a Bulgarian EOOD is not enough on its own. You can have the EOOD be a proper ... Read More

@stevedgreenwoodWell done looking after your mum. I spent the last couple of years caring for my father, and I found it very time-consuming and stressful. But I was helped by Bulgarian live-in carers, not doing it all myself like you seem to be ... Read More
