Digital Nomad Applications for Bulgaria Now Open

Saturday December 20th was the first day of applications for Bulgaria's Digital Nomad Visa. They define 3 types of DNs, a level of granularity I'm seeing more and more. Here are the definitions direct from Fragomen

  • "A foreign national hired by an employer registered outside the EU/European Economic Area (EEA)/Switzerland who provides services from abroad using technology (this category must meet minimum salary requirements as determined by law);
  • A foreign national who are members of the management body, an owner or shareholder owning more than 25% of the registered capital of a company registered outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland, for which company the digital nomad provides services from abroad using technology, and does not work/provide services to persons/entities in Bulgaria; and
  • A foreign national who provides services from abroad using technology for at least one year prior to the date of filing the application and does not work/provide services to persons/entities in Bulgaria and does not carry out freelancing activities in Bulgaria. "
