Bulgaria offers non-EU investors a fast-track route to permanent residency through strategic investments. By choosing government-approved investment options, you can gain access to the European market, tax benefits, and visa-free travel within Bulgaria and beyond.

Investment Options for Permanent Residency

​

1. Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)

Investing a minimum of €512,000 in Bulgarian Alternative Investment Funds qualifies investors for permanent residency. These funds are regulated and offer diversified portfolio opportunities.

​

2. Collective Investment Schemes

Foreign investors can obtain residency by purchasing shares in Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) in Bulgaria, with a minimum investment of BGN 1,000,000 (€511,000). These schemes allow portfolio diversification and long-term stability.

​

3. Priority Investment Projects

A direct contribution of BGN 2,000,000 (€1,022,000) to a government-approved Priority Investment Project grants investors and their families residency rights, supporting Bulgaria’s economic growth.
