Bulgarian Visa Policy
Turkish citizens wishing to travel to Bulgaria must obtain a Consular visa. This type of visa can be categorized differently depending on the purpose of travel. Although Bulgaria is not part of the Schengen area, it implements a specific visa process for Turkish citizens. With a Consular visa, you can obtain permission to stay in Bulgaria for up to 30 days.
Bulgarian Consular Visa
The Bulgarian Consular visa is a visa that individuals wishing to travel must apply for at the Bulgarian Consulate or Embassy before their trip. With this visa, you can stay in the country for a certain period, conduct business meetings, organize sightseeing tours, or make family visits.

The visa application process for Turkish citizens wishing to travel to Bulgaria includes the following steps:
Consular Appointment
The first step is to make an appointment with the Bulgarian Consulate or Embassy. Appointment procedures should be planned to allow sufficient time before the trip. After the appointment is made, you can submit your application on the specified date along with the required documents.
