Bulgaria Residency/Citizenship by Investment

Note (2026): Malta’s former Citizenship by Investment program has been replaced by the Citizenship by Merit framework.

Question: ”What is so attractive about the citizenship by investment programs of Bulgaria"

Answer: The major factors that play in the favor of the Bulgarian immigration by investment programs are speed and cost.

Applicants for the Bulgarian citizenship may apply under the "fast track option" which can result in the EU citizenship and passport in only 18 months. This makes the Bulgarian program one of the fastest programs available today.

In addition to the fast processing Bulgaria offers investors a range of investment options to choose from, including corporate stocks, secured government bonds, and real estate There are financing options available for those investors seeking to minimize their initial cash outlays.

Besides these primary benefits there are secondary advantages such as the applicant and his/her dependents not being required to reside in Bulgaria before filing an application or after obtaining Bulgarian citizenship, and not having to pass any language tests.
