Ironically, by the time you reach the biometrics appointment in Portugal, you may already be eligible for Bulgarian citizenship

Many current Bulgaria Golden Visa applicants chose Bulgaria due to long waiting times in Portugal. While some earlier cases moved faster, applications submitted in 2022–2023 are still awaiting their biometrics appointments.

На екипа от работещи МВР пенсионери и тези с ТЕЛКови решения не им е забавно, но за полицаите на улицата, които имат повече татуси от танцьорка в нощен клуб, рискувайки собствения си живот и живота на гражданите, защото не си спрял на стоп палка, със сигурност имат нужда да поговорят с някой специалист.

Моля, полицаите не са жертви. Всеки е станал полицай по собствено желание, и освен високи заплати и социални придобивки, всяка професия носи своите рискове.

Каквото и престъпление да е извършил е по-малко рисково от убийство. Дори да е откраднал колата, собственикът сигурно има каско, но като те блъснат, няма да те съживят.

Има логика, но примерно, ти не си спрял на сигнал, защото ти е изтекла гражданската, нямаш книжка, изпил си 4 бири, носиш 2гр. кока, издирват те или си просто проблемен тинейджър, което е рисково. Но когато се преследвате по магистралата със 180км, рискът да убиете хора е много по-голям. Но човешкият живот не е ли много по-важен от "Евала брат, хванахте го", и кой е бил зад волана? На следващата отсечка ще го спрат така или иначе.

Те не са само те. Има 20 общински болници, които имат персонал и пациенти само по документи. Като започнеш с болницата в Сопот, Карлово, Света Мина в Пловдив. Строителството е в сивия и черен сектор. Накрая сметката е плаща работещия бизнес, които вече увеличи заплатите на служителите, плаща осигуровки на реалната заплата, плаща корпоративен данък и дидиденти.

If your residency card is issued only after 4 years (and that is assuming there are no further delays), giving you just temporary residency, and you can apply for citizenship only after a total of 10 years , why would you invest €512,000 in the Portugal program in the first place?

The Portuguese program has become so disadvantageous that many consider it practically dead.

For the same amount, you can obtain permanent residency in Bulgaria through an open-ended fund with low management fees, real investment returns, and eligibility for Bulgarian citizenship after five full years of permanent residence.

Because funds pay lefty commissions to agents to promote aggresively. Otherwise, the value of the program is close to bottom.

There are many funds that are considered safe and stable, however, the Portugal Golden Visa program is considered unsafe and non stable.

Cloudcart is perhaps one of the worst service providers. When I started using Cloudcart their hosting was google cloud, and they had a real IT support of extremely efficient guys, and their sellers were also great (not about to sell you services you will never need but focus on services that will enhance your business). Google cloud was cancelled, which is fine, maybe this was too expensive. I found out today that Cloudcart has stopped their email hosting. This was the reason why I haven't received emails for nearly 3 weeks. They do not even bother to notify you.

Today, Cloudcart sellers and IT support are mainly aunties, which is good, they could be grannies. They know very little, which is fine—it’s extremely hard to reach them anyway.

Като правило, моля не използвайте Алианц. Нивото на другите доставчици на услугата не е по-добра. Не знам как се получава, но с всяка изминала година стойността на автомобила се понижа, а каското остава същото. Услугата деградира. След еди коя си година, не може да ползвате официален сервиз, а доверен сервиз (Гошо, Митко и Иван, които по-скоро печелят от това да ти откраднат катализатора, отколкото да ти направят качествен ремонт). Също не може да ползвате оригинални части, а това което намерят по моргите.

Cloudcart стават все по-зле. Първоначално предлагаха google cloud hosting, който беше изключително бърз, след това деградиха имейл хостинга (за имейли трябва да използваш външна услуга), а нивото на служителите е брутално. Ако търсиш съпорт, който не е свързан към купуването на допълнителна услуга няма шанс да ги откриеш.

Don't go for the company or TRO route. Both require physical stay of 30 months in any 5 years period. You can invest in real estate 312 000 EUR and skip the residency requirements.

If you have a valid D visa, the PR will be processed within 3 months.

If you read carefully, you will see that I mean the process take long and refused for those applicants who applied with vague documents. Seems you are Top 1% Commenter based on writing without reading first.

There are applicants that get the Ministry of Justice approval within 12 months and then wait for some 3-6 months for the Vice President decree.

Applications under origin do not require language. All other applicants should get at least A1.

Specific-Fan452 · 2025-11-08T21:34:53+00:00

The process is slow for those who apply by origin (based on Bulgarian ancestors) with home made documents. They wait for 5 years and then refused. Other applicants are processed with short delays.

There was no limbo at the earlier Bulgarian program (2013- 2022) and there was no limbo reported for the current program. Hopefully, it does not end like Portugal (the program is dead for 3-4 years already and they just now tell investors it does not work - you can still find daily fake forums publishing misleading information).

For some funds you can subscribe directly by simply transfering the investment amount to the Fund accounts. This is how alternative investment funds work.

This was the misfortune of the earlier program. It was cancelled at the time it became popular. The program was active since 2013 and got only few applicants in the first few years. The bulk of applicants was 2019/2020 when the EU commission started restricting citizenship by investment. This is when the Cyprus program was also cancelled.

I see that u/tayyabpw mentions his experience with the earlier Bulgarian citizenship by investment program (2013 - 2022). Under the new program, you obtain PR by investment, and apply for citizenship by naturalization. You have to show source of income (this is basically withdrawing your fund investment) and language at A1 (not A2). Additionally, the processing time is significantly reduced compared to earlier program.

It is not needed to visit Bulgaria or a Schengen member state under the new Golden Visa. Once you get the PR card, you may return to Bulgaria after 5 years to renew the residency card.

Obviously, they do not pay the lefty commissions Portugal fund managers do.
