Content updated, October 2023

PLEASE NOTE: This travel document is no longer required to enter the country.  

Bulgaria is an EU country that is often overlooked by tourists. But there are many reasons to explore this country starting with its amazing landscapes, that range from beautiful beaches in the Black Sea to high peaks and lush forests, and ending with the fascinating historical sites you can find everywhere. All in all, Bulgaria is a fantastic country to visit on your next holiday.

To travel to Bulgaria, you’ll need to process some travel documents first. The main travel documents you’ll need to be able to enter Bulgaria hassle-free are your valid passport and the Bulgaria Travel Declaration, a health form introduced by the Bulgarian Government that's aimed at reducing the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this article, we’ll share with you thorough information about the current entry requirements to visit this EU country and a step-by-step process on how to obtain your Bulgaria Travel Declaration online.

What is the Bulgaria Travel Declaration?

It’s a screening travel document that collects information from all international travelers. It is completed online and it has been an important health measure meant to reduce the Coronavirus’s spread within the country. It should only take you a few minutes to complete the application form and you can have it in as fast as 4 hours with iVisa.com.

It is a health form and therefore it doesn’t replace a visa or any other travel authorization. If you need a visa, the immigration officers will ask for it when you enter Bulgaria. The best way to check all your entry requirements to visit Bulgaria is by using our visa checker tool. Go to iVisa.com and enter your home country and destination and we’ll tell you exactly what you need to visit this EU country.

Keep in mind some passport holders will require a paper visa. If that is your case, we suggest you contact your local embassy to obtain it and find out the exact requirements.

After you get your Bulgaria Travel Declaration, you’ll need to print it out and present it to the health authorities at the airport. If you’re fully vaccinated and have a COVID-19 vaccination certificate, we recommend that you bring it along and have it handy to show to immigration officials.

Who is eligible to apply for the Bulgaria Travel Declaration?

All travelers, both foreign and nationals, need to apply for this mandatory document before traveling to Bulgaria. It will take at least one day to process your travel declaration.

If you do not comply with this mandatory requirement, you may not be able to travel to, or enter Bulgaria.

How long is the document valid for?

The health form is valid for a Single Entry, which means you will need to apply for one every time you travel to Bulgaria. It is only valid on entry to the country.

To apply for this document, you only need to fill out an online form. You won’t need any additional documents to obtain your Bulgaria Travel Declaration.

How do I apply for the Bulgaria Travel Declaration online?

It is a simple process that you can complete in less than 10 minutes.

Fill out the Bulgaria Travel Declaration form and provide details about yourself, your trip, and your medical status in the last few days. In your health information include any recent health checks and your vaccination status.

Once we receive your application form, our team of travel experts will make sure that there are no mistakes and will process it. If they find any inconsistencies, they will contact you via email, to sort them out.

Once it's ready, you will receive the Bulgaria Travel Declaration via email. You will have to print it out and sign it. This hard copy is the one you'll present to the foreign affairs officials upon arrival.

What are the costs and processing time of the Bulgaria Travel Declaration?

The prices for your travel document will depend on how fast you want to receive it. We offer three processing options.

  • If you choose the Standard Processing Time, you'll get your health form in 24 hours for USD $44.49.
  • With the Rush Processing Time, you'll receive your Bulgaria Travel Declaration in 8 hours. You'll have to pay USD $80.99.
  • Finally, our fastest option is Super Rush Processing Time. You'll obtain your document in just 4 hours for a price of USD $136.99.

Traveling with minors

All travelers will have to complete the Bulgaria Travel Declaration, minors included. It is the parents’ or guardians’ responsibility to do it for them.

Do I need a Bulgaria Travel Declaration if I’m transiting through Bulgaria?

Yes, all travelers, whether they’re visiting Bulgaria or transiting through the country will need to obtain a Bulgaria Travel Declaration before arrival.

There is a chance that the airline will check if you have it ready before checking in, so make sure you apply within at least 24 hours of your trip and have it ready to present to the airline staff.

COVID-19 Entry Requirements

Currently, there are no COVID-19 testing requirements to enter Bulgaria. Incoming travelers also don’t need to provide COVID-19 vaccination passports or certificates to visit the country. However, bear in mind that the WHO recommends that you’re fully vaccinated before traveling internationally. We strongly recommend that you bring your vaccination certificate along with your other travel documents.

There are no quarantine requirements in Bulgaria. Though it is not mandatory, we highly recommend that you have valid health insurance in the country that covers COVID-19 infection and medical evacuation.
