Lada, hello.
The spouse of a pensioner who has received a residence permit in Bulgaria automatically receives a residence permit. It is only necessary to prepare a complete set of documents in advance and for the spouse it does not matter whether he is a pensioner or not.
Children under the age of 18 also automatically receive a residence permit with the appropriate package of documents.
The following points should be taken into account: if the age of the son (daughter) is more than 18 years old, then a separate basis for a residence permit (representation) will be required.
If, at the time of obtaining a residence permit, the child was under 18 years old, and already turned 18 in Bulgaria, then a NEW reason for stay will be required (again, representation, as the simplest or marriage to a Bulgarian citizen) or you will have to leave Bulgaria.
If you have any questions, please write!
Sincerely,

Hello. Was Vita Livshitz mistaken when answering the question about obtaining a Bulgarian residence permit for a pensioner? She writes: it is necessary to have an income of 2000 lev (1000 euros) per month. There are no such pensions for ordinary people in Russia.
