RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR FOREIGNERS,
In the list of grounds for obtaining a Bulgarian
residence permit, given by the law on foreigners,
there is also the following: "Persons who come
for long-term treatment and have financial
resources for treatment and their maintenance"
(Article 24, para 1, sub-para 8). It is intended for
those who plan to undergo long-term treatment
or rehabilitation in Bulgarian medical institutions.
WHAT IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A RESIDENCE PERMIT?
First, collect the documents, then get a long-term
visa, enter the country with it and apply (the
same package) for a residence permit. To confirm
the basis, you will need a copy of a certificate
from a medical institution certified by the
Ministry of Health with the specified treatment
and rehabilitation plan.
For its part, the medical institution that accepts the patient must provide documents certified by the Bulgarian Ministry of Health. Usually this is a contract, a treatment plan and accompanying papers, one way or another confirming the need for long-term treatment and / or rehabilitation. If an advance payment was made for the treatment, then you must also attach payment documents - a check and an invoice to the package of documents. If a patient in need of treatment requires an accompanying person, this need must be confirmed by an appropriate certificate. In this case, a complete package of documents is also collected for the accompanying person. The state fee for the examination of documents for a Visa D is 100 euros, the minimum processing time is 30 working days. The documents must be personally submitted to the consulate of Bulgaria. The Visa is issued for a period of 180 days. After receiving it, you must enter Bulgaria with this Visa. Then, at any time, but no later than 14 days before the expiration of the Visa, you need to apply for a residence permit. This is done in the Migration Directorate in the regional police department at the place of residence. The term for examination of documents for a residence permit is 14 days, the cost is 10 levs. If permission is granted, a fee of 500 levs shall be paid. Another mandatory fee is the production of a residence permit card (personal card). The cheapest option will cost 45 levs (the card will be issued in a month), the fastest - 250 (the card will be ready in 2 days). If necessary, the residence permit can be extended - this must be done at least 2 weeks before the end of the permit. In this case, the same package of documents is submitted as for the first time, with the exception of a certificate of no criminal record. Additionally, you will need to add a copy of the expiring personal card to the documents.
