The regulations governing the entry, stay, work, and departure
of foreign nationals in Bulgaria hinge on their classification as
either nationals of the European Union / European Economic Area /
Swiss Confederation (EU/EEA/SC) or as nationals from third
countries (individuals from nations not falling within the
aforementioned categories).
This article focuses on the revised conditions referring to the
issuance of a Single Permit for Residence and Work (SPRW) effective
from June 1, 2021. The SPRW is granted by the Ministry of the
Interior in accordance with Article 24i of the Law on Foreigners in
the Republic of Bulgaria (LFRB). The Employment Agency provides
written opinions on the application, aligning with the requirements
outlined in the Law on Labor Migration and Labor Mobility (LLMLM)
and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Law on Labor
Migration and Labor Mobility (ILLMLM).
