Course Description

Bulgaria joined the Schengen Area in full in January 2025 which means a Bulgarian visa now opens access to the entire Schengen zone, making it one of the most significant visa market updates in recent years. For consultants advising clients who previously needed a separate Bulgarian visa alongside their Schengen visa, this changes everything. This course covers the updated Bulgarian visa system, what Schengen membership means for applicants, and how to process Bulgarian visitor visa applications under the new framework.
