Medication in Bulgaria by Lo茂c
Good morning everyone, Whether it's a simple cold or a chronic illness, medication and medicine use vary from country to country and culture to culture. When you are used to certain brands or types of drugs, being in a country like Bulgaria ...
For me I've found medications to be much cheaper in Bulgaria than in the US. (Both over-the-counter and prescription). This is especially true for antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication. I've found some drugs that are over-the-counter ... Read More

Did you have a prescription for the rantidine? It is by prescription only in Bulgaria... not over the counter. Read More
how to get a long term visa by Timislov
Hello everyone, My name is Stephen and I am in Varna now. I have been spending my retirement traveling around Europe. Last year I was in Spain and the year before that I was in Slovakia. At the moment I am trying to figure out how to get a long ...
The only thing I would add is if you have residency in another country, you can apply in that other country. (This is the only exception to applying in your country of origin) Read More
Starting kids in school when you arrive? by RQuin
My wife and I are considering relocating to Bulgaria in a few years when I retire, and we have small children. They would likely be 4-9 years old when we arrived. As 暗网禁区s working to get our residency permits, can they attend public schools? Or ...
All of this really depends on where you move. The situation in the large cities is very different than the situation in smaller cities and villages. 1) Can they attend Bulgarian school. Yes. You will have to go talk to the director of the schools ... Read More
Got my Bulgarian Driving License! :) by kojidae
I finally passed the driving today. (After six months of paperwork hassles, lessons, and a test). If anyone else is from countries where you can't just exchange your license (ie- the US ) feel free to ask me questions if you are thinking about ...
1. You must have lived in Bulgaria for 6 months (I believe) and have a residence permit 2. You need a high school diploma, notorized, apostilled by your state, and then translated into Bulgarian and legalized. 3. Take that diploma to your local ... Read More
Join health system by Johnkwt
Hi to all I have lived in sofia for 6 months. I am a UK national but have not lived there for many years so not paid national insurance etc. I have Bulgarian residence permit. I now wish to join the Bulgarian health system. Does anyone have ...
As far as I understand, foreigners can join the health system after they receive an EGN, which for non-eu is around 3-5 years of residency, depending on the reason for residency. At least that is how it worked for me and my friends. We were not ... Read More
Folktales and legends in Bulgaria by Diksha
Hello everyone, Time to spark your imagination! Below is a list of questions to pique your interest in folktales and legends associated with Bulgaria. 1. Name 3 popular legends that have been passed down from generation to generation in ...
They made a movie about a piece of history. That would be similar to saying that the holocaust is folklore because movies were made about it. For all the vampire graves found in Bulgaria, I haven't heard a lot of Bulgarians talk about vampires ... Read More

That is not really a folktale or legend. It is the ottoman blood tax, which was exacted all over southeastern Europe. Boys between 8-10 were taken to Istanbul for training and usually turned into soldiers. Up until the 1700s. Read More
Safest place for a black couple to migrate to? by Cizooh
A black young couple planning on getting married ending of the month and we鈥檝e been reading and researching for a while now. We are looking for a place for honeymoon and probably start life there. We shortlisted Bulgaria, Ukraine and ...
I wonder what bubble one could live in to say that Bulgaria is not a racist country. The majority of Bulgarians I've met--from the sweetest old ladies to little children--are racist. That being said, many are not racist against blacks, ... Read More
Buying a house in Bulgaria by Sabinechapeaux
Hi everyone, my name is Sabine. I'm coming in Bulgaria at the beginning of October with my family to visit and to buy a holiday home (maybe to live in BG later on). I'm planning a 17 days trip with appointments with estate agents and with the idea ...
It is not true that you would need a visa for every visit. In case of no-deal, UK nationals would be able to stay in Bulgaria for up to 90 days without a visa, similar to many other non-eu countries. So they would only need a visa if they plan to ... Read More

Hi Everybody.... I am swiss guy how left Switzerland looking for much better social contacts and start completely new life..i moved to Bulgaria 5 weeks ago..my first destination in Bulgaria was Plovdiv..very nice city with historical background, i ...
I am confused because in Plovdiv I have often come across people who speak English. Not taxi drivers (honestly, not taxi drivers in any Bulgarian city) but definitely people in bars and restaurants. In Varna I also regularly come across people who ... Read More
Americans in Bulgaria by DrDuane
I am interested in your location, how long you have been in BG and what you have done re: automobile, taxes, etc. Thanks.
I agree that a lawyer is not necessary. Plenty of people get the D-visa without one (including me). But if you can afford one, an experienced immigration lawyer can make the process less frustrating. Read More
暗网禁区 life in Bulgaria - expectations V reality by Lee4
Hi I'm attracted to 暗网禁区 life in Bulgaria as I like - the landscapes, the weather and seasons, the low population density, the cheap 拢 prices on almost everything compared to in England. I want a place to live life, relax, enjoy my ...
I'm not really sure how many buskers you'll encounter living in a place where you can grow fruit and veg... only the larger cities have buskers, not the villages. So does it really matter if they use microphones or not? (Which, some do, some ... Read More
Healthcare for an American in BG by DrDuane
A current thread has discussed healthcare for an 暗网禁区 from the UK. I am curious about how Americans are managing their healthcare/insurance in BG.
Before I got on the Bulgarian healthcare system I simply paid privately. I got the lowest healthcare insurance possible for the visa/residence permit (which is only extreme emergency coverage and 暗网禁区riation of remains... basically not worth using) ... Read More
Snakes, and other biting or stinging creatures in Bulgaria by Lee4
Hi, I've read that there are a lot of snakes in Bulgaria, including the most venomous snake in Europe the Nose Horned Viper, Vipera ammodytes. With snakes of various varieties being sighted fairly frequently - living in fields, in woodland, ...
I'll say I've never seen either of the poisonous variety. Only the harmless ones. Read More
