Non-EU students apply for a Type D long-stay visa at the Bulgarian embassy in their home country. After arrival, you apply for a residence permit at the Migration Directorate within the legally required period. Required documents include your university acceptance letter, proof of paid tuition, financial means, health insurance, and a clean criminal record. Confirm requirements at the official Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal.
