Who Is This Service For?

This service is tailored for foreign nationals—particularly English-speaking individuals and families—planning to relocate to Bulgaria for personal, professional, or retirement reasons. Whether you're moving to Sofia for a new job, settling on the Black Sea coast for retirement, or relocating with your family to enjoy Bulgaria’s affordable lifestyle and EU membership benefits, this service ensures you receive comprehensive and reliable support.

Our Relocation Service Bulgaria is suitable for EU and non-EU nationals alike and is especially helpful for those unfamiliar with the Bulgarian language, legal system, and administrative procedures.

  • Financial Means: Evidence of income or savings may be required for visa or permit applications.

Why choose Advocate Abroad?

Director
When we set-up Advocate Abroad 14 years ago, getting legal services abroad was something of a lottery.
Clients faced a variety of problems from poor levels of English to questionable moral behaviour by some practitioners.
So we set-up Advocate Abroad to ensure standards by checking lawyers’ background, language levels, and competencies...
...and now, having handled over 40,000 enquiries, via hundreds of partners in 20 countries, we think we must be doing something right!
