Schengen Visa to Bulgaria — Bulgaria in the Schengen Area

Bulgaria is part of the Schengen Area, therefore a short-stay Schengen Type C visa issued by Bulgaria is used in accordance with the common Schengen rules and the conditions indicated on the visa itself.
Benefits of a Schengen visa to Bulgaria
• short-term travel to Bulgaria and other Schengen countries in accordance with the conditions of the issued visa
• common short-stay rule — up to 90 days in any 180-day period
• the possibility of a single-entry or multiple-entry visa depends on the consular decision and the applicant’s visa history
• suitable for tourism, private visits, business, cultural and other permitted short-term travel
Bulgaria is located in Southeast Europe and is a member of the European Union. Popular destinations include Sofia, the Black Sea coast, mountain resorts and the country’s cultural and historical centres. For applicants who legally reside in Ukraine and wish to obtain a Schengen visa, Bulgaria may be one of the destinations for a short-term trip within the Schengen Area.
Important: a Type C visa is not a work permit
A Schengen Type C visa is intended for short-term stays and does not itself grant the right to employment or long-term residence in Bulgaria. Different visa and immigration procedures apply to work, study or longer-term residence.

Who may apply from Ukraine

VISA-SVIT works with foreign applicants who legally reside in Ukraine. Before starting the process, we review the applicant’s citizenship, residence document, its validity and eligibility to apply through the relevant consular route.

If there was a previous refusal

A previous Schengen visa refusal does not automatically prevent a new application. It is important to analyse the reason for the previous decision, address weaknesses in the case and provide current and accurate supporting documents.

Visa validity and number of entries

A visa may be issued for single, double or multiple entry. The validity period and number of permitted entries are determined by the consular authority, taking into account the purpose of travel, supporting documents, previous visa history and other circumstances of the applicant.

Submission and biometrics
Biometric data may be collected when submitting a Schengen visa application. Certain categories of applicants are exempt under the applicable rules. The requirement for personal attendance, appointment procedure and method of submission are determined by the current rules of the competent consular authority or authorised visa centre.
Visa decision
VISA-SVIT helps prepare and review the application documents; however, the final decision on visa issuance, validity, number of entries and permitted duration of stay is made exclusively by the competent consular authority.
Cost and payment terms
The cost of VISA-SVIT support is determined by the selected service package shown in the table on this page. Consular, service and other official fees are paid separately unless the conditions of the selected package explicitly state otherwise.
Before submission

Make sure that the purpose of travel, main destination, itinerary, bookings, financial means and travel dates correspond to the information stated in the application. Any issued visa must be used strictly within its stated validity period and permitted number of days of stay.

Schengen Visa to Bulgaria — when to apply specifically to Bulgaria

Bulgaria should be the genuine destination of the trip. Applicants should not choose a consulate simply because they expect the procedure to be easier or faster. Before applying, it is important to correctly determine the main destination, duration of stay and purpose of travel.
When Bulgaria is the correct country to apply to
Bulgaria is the only destination: the main trip is planned specifically to Bulgaria
The itinerary includes several countries: the longest stay is planned in Bulgaria or Bulgaria is the main country according to the purpose of travel
The stays are of equal duration: if the main destination cannot be determined by purpose or number of days, the country of first entry is taken into account
What a Schengen Type C visa to Bulgaria allows
• short-term stay in Bulgaria in accordance with the validity and conditions of the issued visa
• travel to other Schengen countries in accordance with the common Schengen rules
• a total stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period
• the possibility of receiving a single-entry, double-entry or multiple-entry visa — depending on the consular decision
Important: the itinerary must match the declared purpose
The documents, bookings, itinerary, travel dates and purpose of the trip should be consistent with one another. A discrepancy between the actual travel plan and the information provided in the visa application may lead to additional questions during examination of the application or at the border.
A visa does not automatically guarantee entry
Holding a valid Schengen visa allows the traveller to arrive at the external border of the Schengen Area, but the final decision on entry is made during border control. We recommend carrying documents confirming the purpose of travel, accommodation, insurance, sufficient financial means and the return itinerary.

We will review your itinerary before submission

For a preliminary assessment, provide VISA-SVIT with:
• applicant’s citizenship
• document / status confirming legal residence in Ukraine
• purpose of travel
• planned travel dates
• countries in the itinerary and number of days in each country
• information about previous Schengen visas, if any
Based on this information, we will help determine the correct application strategy and the appropriate document list for the individual case.
