    Registering a trade representation is one of the popular ways to obtain residency rights in Bulgaria. This option is particularly attractive for entrepreneurs and business people who plan to expand their activities in Europe or create new business opportunities in Bulgaria.

    What is a Trade Representation?
    A trade representation is an officially registered representation of a foreign company in Bulgaria. This allows you to conduct business without registering a separate Bulgarian company. Trade representations act as intermediaries between foreign companies and Bulgarian partners, facilitating the development of trade relations and business.

    Advantages of Obtaining Residency through a Trade Representation:
  • Registration of the Representation: The first step is to register your trade representation with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
  • Submitting the Residency Application: After successful registration of the trade representation, you will submit all necessary documents for obtaining residency.
  • Obtaining the Residency Permit: After the verification of documents by immigration authorities, you will receive a temporary residency permit, usually valid for one year, with the possibility of extension.
  • Transition from Temporary to Permanent Residency: After five years of continuous residence in Bulgaria based on a temporary permit, you can apply for permanent residency. Obtaining permanent residency grants you more rights, including the ability to reside in the country permanently, work without additional permits, and access social services.

    Advantages of Permanent Residency through a Trade Representation:
  • Permanent residence in the country;
  • Ability to conduct business without restrictions;
  • Access to the full range of social services, including healthcare;
  • Opportunity to apply for citizenship after five years with permanent residency.
    Obtaining temporary and permanent residency through a trade representation is a beneficial solution for those who plan to do business in Bulgaria and secure residency rights in the country.
