Putting a Pakistani migrant worker to work in Bulgaria is now much easier than ever before. Rules and regulations of workplace permits have changed to the benefit of Pakistani migrants.
Bulgaria is one of the most sought after countries for Pakistani labor migrants. In recent years, many Pakistani expatriates have been experiencing a shortage of work opportunities back in Pakistan and thus, a great number of them find their way to Bulgaria seeking employment opportunities.
A stable economy, low cost of living, and numerous employment opportunities make Bulgaria a popular destination for expatriates. If your company is planning to expand or outsource operations in Bulgaria, you’ll need to ensure that all of your employees have the necessary permits and visas to work there legally.
Types of Work Visas in Bulgaria
Bulgaria has a variety of visas available for foreign nationals seeking entry into the country. As a member of the European Union (EU), Bulgaria allows citizens of other EU member states to work without a visa or permit.
For other foreign nationals, Bulgarian visas include:
- Type A visas for airport transit

To obtain a Bulgarian work permit, foreign workers will need Type D visas.
