Bulgaria has introduced one of Europe's cheapest digital nomad visas, though the start date is still pending.
Bulgaria has announced the launch of a new digital nomad visa positioned as one of Europe's most affordable options. While the official start date remains pending, the visa is expected to offer competitive pricing and straightforward eligibility for remote workers seeking a long-stay option in the EU.
Bulgaria's cost of living is among the lowest in Europe, making it attractive for budget-conscious remote workers. The visa is likely to require proof of income (typically €2,000–€2,500 per month) and a clean background check. Exact terms—including visa duration, renewal options, and whether it leads to residency or citizenship pathways—will be clarified once the program launches.
Bulgaria's digital nomad visa promises to be one of Europe's most affordable options.
Watch Bulgaria's official immigration website and embassy announcements for the launch date and application procedures. Once live, you'll likely apply through a Bulgarian embassy or consulate. Given the low cost of living and EU location, this visa could be competitive with Portugal's D7 or Spain's digital nomad options.
