Russians will be able to get multiple-entry visas to Bulgaria for up to two years

Citizens of the Russian Federation who legally used Bulgarian visas in previous years and did not violate the terms of stay will be able to obtain multiple-entry visas for up to two years.

The Bulgarian Foreign Ministry noted that measures are taken for Russian citizens annually to simplify the procedure for obtaining visas to Bulgaria. Thus, Russians who have used Schengen, Romanian, Croatian and Cypriot visas can get multiple-entry Bulgarian visas for up to 12 months.

The use of multiple entry visas to these countries allows you to apply for a visa to Bulgaria for up to three years. Owners of real estate in the country can apply for visas for the same amount, if they did not violate the terms of stay and regularly paid.

Bulgarian resorts are asking the authorities to speed up the arrival of tourists from Russia. The Ministry of Tourism of Bulgaria, in turn, promises not to delay the provision of subsidies for charters and solve the problem as quickly as possible.
