Answers to the most common questions about EU residency through Bulgarian real estate investment.
The minimum investment is €300,000 in Bulgarian real estate. The property is registered in your name and you retain full ownership. This investment supports an application for a temporary residence permit, which is renewable annually and can lead to permanent residency after five years.
No. There is no minimum stay requirement for maintaining your temporary residence permit. You can continue to live wherever you are — the permit remains valid as long as the investment is maintained and the permit is renewed annually.
Yes. Once you receive your residence permit, your spouse and children under 18 can apply for their own permits through family reunion. These are separate applications based on your existing investment — no additional investment is required.
The typical timeline is 4 to 6 months from initial consultation to receiving your residence permit. This includes property selection, legal due diligence, purchase, company formation, visa application, and permit issuance. Timelines may vary depending on individual circumstances and processing times.
You receive a Bulgarian temporary residence permit — issued by an EU member state. It is valid for one year and renewable. After five years of continuous renewal, you can apply for permanent residency. Bulgarian residence also grants you the right to travel across 29 Schengen countries for up to 90 days every 6 months.
The property remains yours. You can live in it, rent it out for income, or hold it as an investment. After obtaining permanent residency (typically after 5 years), you are free to sell the property. During the initial period, the property must be maintained to support your residence status.
Not exactly. Bulgaria's Golden Visa programme (which grants immediate permanent residency) requires a €512,000 investment in regulated funds. EuroBridge Capital structures a different pathway — a €300,000 real estate investment that leads to temporary residency, with a path to permanent residency after five years. The property is a real asset you own, not a fund subscription.
