For Schengen Visa holders
European Schengen visa stamp in the passport
Bulgarian government took a decision on 25 January, 2012 that until
Bulgaria’s full accession to the Schengen Area, the country will unilaterally
apply visa-free regulations for holders of valid Schengen visas. According to the
decision, holders of valid, multiple entry, Schengen visas may enter and stay in
Bulgaria for a period of up to three months within each six-month period from
the date of the first entry in this country without having a Bulgarian visa.
Holders of single-entry Schengen visas and those whose Schengen visas have
been utilized completely are not allowed to enter Bulgaria.
