Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking a consultation.
Visas & Residence
Do I need a visa to live in Bulgaria?
It depends on your nationality. EU citizens register directly as residents. Non-EU citizens most commonly apply for a Type D visa followed by a long-term residence permit. During your consultation, we identify the exact path for your situation.
How long does the residence permit process take?
Typically 2–4 weeks after submitting a complete application. The exact timeline depends on the type of permit and the current workload of the Migration Office. We guide you through every step to avoid delays.
Can my family join me in Bulgaria?
Yes — family reunification is possible once you have a valid long-term residence permit. We assist with the full process including documentation and Migration Office appointments for family members.
Business & Freelancing
Can I register a company in Bulgaria as a foreigner?
Yes. Foreigners can register an EOOD or OOD (Bulgarian limited liability structures) without restrictions. The process takes 1–2 weeks with complete documentation. We assist from choosing the right structure through full registration.
Should I register as a freelancer or a company?
It depends on your income level, clients, and plans. We cover this in detail during the consultation — including tax implications, social security contributions, and which structure makes more sense for your situation.
Working with ProAssist
Do you work in English?
Yes — we work entirely in English with international clients. Consultations, documentation, and all communication are conducted in English.
What does the consultation include?
The initial consultation is a 60-minute structured session — online or in person in Blagoevgrad. You receive a written summary, recommended next steps, and a tailored service plan afterward.
Do you work with clients outside Bulgaria?
Yes — most of our clients contact us before they arrive. We work entirely online until you're in Bulgaria, and in person once you're here.
