Business Visa for Bulgaria

Hassle-free visa processing for your travel needs.

Overview

A Business Visa is required for non-UK passport holders residing in the UK who intend to travel to Bulgaria for work-related purposes, conferences, trade fairs, or corporate meetings. This short-term visa allows business professionals, entrepreneurs, and employees to conduct activities essential to their business engagements in Bulgaria.

Eligibility

To apply for a Bulgaria Business Visa, you must:

  • Hold a valid passport and a UK residency permit (short-stay “C-type” UK visas are not accepted).
  • Have an official invitation letter from a business/company based in Bulgaria.
  • Be attending business meetings, conferences, trade fairs, or corporate events.
  • If the visit does not include a business invitation, applicants must apply for a Tourist Visa instead.

Processing Time

  • Applications can be submitted up to 3 months before departure.
  • Standard processing takes at least 15 calendar days.
  • Each application is reviewed by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and processing time may extend beyond 15 days.
