I will like to apologize to those that ask me questions directly and didn’t get a reply. It’s been long i came back on this platform. I have been busy with work family and kids. I will try to keep up with update. Wish you all success in your life decisions to make. Just to let you know Bulgaria is peaceful country and was the best decision I made moving to Europe

There is no specific amount stated you need to have in your bank account for student visa. The most important thing is having sufficient funds to show that you can pay for school fees and accommodation and to take care of yourself. Due to the current exchange rate my advise is to have good sum of money in your account. Please note there are other things considered like having the account statement in your name which give you more advantage to get a Visa approval. Lastly Visa review are done in Sofia �� not my the consular. The consular only takes your documents and sent to Bulgaria. Goodluck

hi Seun, hope you are doing good. To your question the answer is yes your friend can come with a tourist visa and get married but needs to go back to Nigeria and apply for a spouse Visa D. This is because he came in with a visitor visa and can not be allow to change status automatically. He needs to travel back to Nigeria with all necessary documents including the marriage certificate and visit the Bulgarian embassy for a visa which will be processed within 90 days maximum. Please note during the 90 days visa processing the wife will be summoned at immigration office in Bulgaria for few questions to be sure the marriage is not fix. Once everything goes well hopefully he will be issue Visa D .the visa is free since his wife is EU citizen.

@bizritchy, I explained on my previous response that I didn’t pay any school fees until I arrived Bulgaria and I don’t have any info about scholarships. You can reach online

@belleque when you arrive Bulgaria you are free to go and ask Immgration how many years you need to stay as student to get a permanent residency card. You think this people want make you stay for their country. They don’t need you. Every EU country has its internal laws too on how people migrate to their country. Most of the Western Europe give students few years to look for job and remain after graduation. Bulgaria do not welcome such so it means when you graduate dey go back to your country cos they don’t need you.please don’t ask me further questions on this cos if you want to know more travel to Bulgaria and ask Immgration

@david the range of school fees depends on the university and choice of studies. You can check this in the university website page. During my time I didn’t pay any school fees still I arrived Bulgaria and then I went to school to pay my school fees.

@ David yes it’s possible. I studied and work and with Gods grace I was able to pay all my school fees for my program. The simple truth is if you are focus and have a purpose you will make it but through the right way. One thing I know is Bulgaria is much more safer than those other popular western countries. Please let me clarify something if you come to Bulgaria with a different visa D such as marriage, work visa , retirement and you live 5 year legally yes you can apply for a permanent residency. Kindly note if you come to Bulgaria With a student visa D and you wish to stay back then you have to live legally for 10 years. That’s how it is counted for student who wish to get a permanent residency here. There is a lot of information on the website which you can check on google.

Please note am not discouraging anyone to come to Bulgaria. Bulgaria is a lovely Eastern Europe country enrich with a lot of culture. The only way to enjoy your stay here is to follow the immigration law. At the moment student visa can’t lead to permanent stay here and not even having a child. If you have a student residency card here and you are married to a Bulgarian citizen you still need to leave the country and apply for a marriage visa. Everything is possible if you follow the guidelines of migrating. It only takes time and comes with a lot of inconvenience. Bulgaria should be entering the scheghen zone soonest so I guess they are trying to follow standard with other European countries.

@ Josebriggs everything has changed here. The Bulgarian system is changed and they are trying to make sure migrating to Bulgarian is not abused. Even if you have a child or you get married to a Bulgarian woman you have to leave the country to apply for a marriage visa.the immigration policy here is changed and my advice to anyone is make sure you make enquire before you arrive here. If you are coming to Bulgarian via tourist visa and you think you will stay back and get a job my brother like I advise better stay back home and if you are coming to school genuinely then make sure you have your money at least up keep for few months before you can get a job and manage yourself. Bulgaria �� is a lovely place and so many Nigerians have abused the system here and the immigration is really hard on those who failed to have document here.please note you can’t get a job here if you don’t have a residency card. Anyone telling you to come here with tourists visa and giving you hope you will survive nah lie oooh. Be wise

@ Josebriggs tourist visa should take 10 business days.

Hi Josebriggs, while during my time when I applied for visa I had around 3M in my account. Well Varna is a great place lovely during summer. I was there last year when I was transfer for work for 1 month.

Hi Josebriggs, I trust you are going well.so the first step is making sure you have gotten your admission from the school which should include your admission letter from the school, letter from the ministry of education Bulgaria and your accommodation letter from your school.once you have this document you need to get a police report legalised, health insurance (Aiico), passport page, passport photographs and bank statement. If the bank statement is in your name your chances are high 95% especially if it masters program. Visit the embassy you don’t need an appointment date for that. You will be given the application form to fill and submit. It takes 45 working days for your visa D. You will pay 30k non refundable and if your visa comes out you pay 70k to collect it. Best of lucks

[quote author=sonofspada post=77805756]Hello bro , I have a friend inviting me over to Bulgaria, I want to apply for visa, I intend to work when I get there, accommodation is not and issue.

I would like to be enlightened on what I need for relocating

Thanks [/quote
You are coming to Bulgarian as what . Please try to explain your reasons for coming to Bulgaria. You are only entitled to work if you have your residency permit but if you are coming as a visitor bro just stay back home.dont waste your money

Just an advise if you coming to Bulgarian with the mind of not paying school after you arrive. I advise you to just stay back home and manage your life. Bulgarian immigration is hitting hard on those that don’t pay school fees.once your school notice you don’t want to pay there will notify immigration. My brother if you don’t have documents it will really be difficult for you. Just an advise

As @ 2017 my program cost me 2200 euros per annual but now it’s around 2900 Euros annually. I will also say it depends on your choice of studies.

Send me an email.

Hey Guys, I trust you doing well. You can always ask your questions here in this platform. I will try my best to give relevant information. Cheers

Let me start by saying thanks to those who gave meaningful information for school process , visa and rest. You guys are great.for those that said eeeh no job oooh. I laugh you but it’s best to keep silent cos am not here to argue with anyone. What I will say is my life has been more better off than when I was in Nigeria.God has been faithful through out my staying here in Sofia. My advise is just follow your heart and work towards achieve what you want. If I had listen to those who say negative words about Bulgaria I wouldn’t have been here, so follow your dreams. If you never try you will never know. Remember there will always be people who will discourage you it’s part of life. Cheer all and happy new year in advance �

Hi guys, compliment of the season.i haven’t been on this thread for a while because been busy with school, work and other stuffs.

@desmond yes the country is economic friendly

desmondokonkwo:

_The programme is it run in English language
_Hope the country is economic friendly

Ok guys ,I have to go now.you can always drop your messages and I will try reply as fast I can

gusemamu:
Please I need advice on getting a student visa. Thanks

ok what kind of advise do you need.have you gotten your admission first?

npmi:
lyfeezone, are u doing your masters in New Bulgarian University.

yes I am

@npmi yes am doing my masters in new Bulgaria university.

@Bsideboi what you need is a visa D and you can only get that as a student.regarding to the bank statement and rest and I will advise you to get it from Nigeria because if your female Bulgarian gives you the bank statement it means you are telling the immigration that you are not going back to your country which a big rejection to your visa.it better you don’t say you have anyone here still you arrive and then decide what you want to do

Hey guys,am really sorry I haven’t reply many messages. I have been so busy but am here now.

Hi nenye, am sorry u didnt get a respond from me soon. Have been busy .u can resend the request on email

Hi guys, I just observed that some people don't ask the right questions. What does working in UK or US got to do with studying in Bulgaria. If you want to work in another country after studying it depends on you and choice. What each of us should know is we all have different plans why we travel to any country. I don't have any regrets coming to bulgaria. I am doing my masters and I have a good job that pays my school and also live good. There are people who will tell you bulgaria is hard to live. My question is, is there any country that is easy to live? Even some will say bulgaria are suffering and this people telling you this haven't seen international airport. Lolzzz talk less of entering airplane. What am saying is have a plan and work towards it. Stay blessed guyz

Guy try and look for school u don't need to pay. Wen I applied I didn't pay shit, no school fees, no accommodation. I came into sofia and then I paid my school fees and then looked for accommodation. @favourmic explain more better for the guy or help whoever needs information. U ask me to come online, I guess I don't have much so say. Stay motivated guyz Chao

Hello guyz, Merry Xmas and happy new year in advance. Stay blessed
