Bulgaria Golden Visa Recognized in IMC Yearbook 2025
The IMC Yearbook 2025 has recognized the Bulgaria Golden Visa as one of the most attractive investment migration programs in Europe. This edition highlights the advantages of the program and features insights from Advocate Markov, a leading expert in investment migration, along with details on the Bulgaria AIF – Fund, a government-regulated investment vehicle designed to meet the program’s requirements.
Why Choose the Bulgaria Golden Visa?
Bulgaria’s residency-by-investment program offers one of the fastest routes to permanent residency in the EU. Unlike many similar programs, it grants permanent residency from day one, eliminating the need for temporary residence renewals. Additionally, the program has no minimum stay requirements, providing maximum flexibility for investors who do not wish to relocate immediately.
One of the most significant advantages of the Bulgaria Golden Visa is its pathway to citizenship. After five years of holding permanent residency, investors become eligible to apply for Bulgarian citizenship without the requirement to renounce their current nationality. This benefit sets it apart from other European residency programs.
Investment Options and Tax Benefits
Investors can qualify for the program through various investment channels, including real estate, government-backed projects, business ventures, and the Bulgaria AIF – Fund. The Bulgaria AIF – Fund is a secure, transparent, and government-regulated fund designed to facilitate investors in meeting the program’s requirements while providing solid growth potential.
Additionally, Bulgaria is known for its business-friendly tax system, featuring the lowest corporate and personal income tax rate in the EU at just 10%. This makes it an ideal location not only for residency but also for long-term financial planning and investment diversification.
How to Apply?
The application process for the Bulgaria Golden Visa is streamlined and efficient. With expert guidance from Advocate Markov, investors can navigate the legal and financial aspects smoothly. Investors are not required to make their investment before a pre-approval with the Bulgarian Investment Agency is passed.
