Permanent residence by investment
Secure Bulgarian Permanent Residency Through Investment
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.
