The 3 most successful legal routes in practice are:<\/span><\/p><h3><b>1. Route: D-Visa + Property Acquisition for Retirees (Most Popular Model)<br \/><br \/><\/b><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Legal Basis:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria Act Article 24(1)(10).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Target Audience:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> All Turkish citizens receiving a retirement pension from Turkey&#8217;s SSI (SGK), Ba\u011f-Kur, or Emekli Sand\u0131\u011f\u0131.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How It Works:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You do not need to make a capital investment. If you prove your Turkish retirement pension (equivalent to the minimum Bulgarian retirement pension) and buy a house in Bulgaria (or rent long-term), the Bulgarian Consulate directly grants you a D-Type Long-Stay Visa.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Advantage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You settle in Bulgaria and receive an annually renewable temporary residence card.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>2. Route: Trade Representative Office (TRO)<br \/><br \/><\/b><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Legal Basis:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Investment Promotion Act Article 24(1)(6).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How It Works:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have an active company paying taxes in Turkey, an official Trade Representative Office of this company affiliated with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) is opened.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Residential Integration:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Turkish citizen appointed as the representative obtains a residence permit by showing the house purchased in Bulgaria as their official residential address. There is no requirement to employ 10 Bulgarian citizens in the company.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>3. Route: <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenvisasolutions.com\/en\/golden-visa-countries\/bulgaria-golden-visa\">Official Bulgaria Golden Visa (\u20ac512,000 Fund Investment)<\/a><\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>This is the cleanest route for high-income investors who do not want to deal with bureaucracy, company turnovers, or retirement conditions. In return for a \u20ac512,000 investment in state-supervised funds, Permanent Residency (PR) is obtained directly; while real estate purchase is carried out independently of residency for portfolio diversification purposes to secure Euro-denominated rental yields.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bulgarian real estate market holds enormous potential with the European Union&#8217;s lowest corporate tax (10%), the financial stability provided by the Euro currency, and its unique logistical proximity to Turkey. However, rather than viewing a real estate purchase as a &#8220;residence permit ticket,&#8221; it should be structured as a solid Plan B supported by the right legal tools (Retiree D-Visa, Trade Representative Office, or \u20ac512K Fund Investment).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66b1c43 at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"66b1c43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6afc23b elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-faq\" data-id=\"6afc23b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-faq.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n                <div class=\"elementskit-single-faq elementor-repeater-item-ef75dfa\">\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-header\">\n                <h2 class=\"elementskit-faq-title\">Can I get a residence permit if I buy a house for \u20ac50,000 in Bulgaria?<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"elementskit-faq-body\">\n                No. There is no right to residency tied to any base price in standard residential purchases in Bulgaria.
