Good evening, Alexander. The secured pensioner program is an opportunity to obtain a residence permit in Bulgaria on the basis of a pension certificate. There are no benefits in Bulgaria for pensioners.
The whole process of moving can be divided into 3 stages: solving the housing issue, obtaining a D visa and obtaining a Bulgarian residence permit on this basis. The presence of their own housing (purchased or rented) gives a pensioner the right to obtain a residence permit under a simplified scheme and permanently stay in Bulgaria (unlike other groups of foreigners). Sincerely,
Stage 1. Obtaining a tourist visa With and renting/buying a home.
Renting or buying an apartment for a pensioner in Bulgaria is the first step to obtaining a D visa, and later a residence permit and permanent residence. It should be noted right away that

BULGARIA. The rights of foreign buyers
Good afternoon! Can you tell me if I can buy a property in Bulgaria and apply for a Russian passport (foreign) without obtaining a residence permit? Does the same apply to opening accounts in Bulgarian banks? I have a Spanish residence permit, but I want to apply for everything using my Russian data so that the Spanish do not register anywhere in Bulgaria, is this possible?
