How long can I stay in Bulgaria on an ICT permit?

The maximum duration depends on your role within the transfer. Managers and specialists may be granted a residence permit valid for up to three years.

Trainees, who are transferred for career development, are limited to a maximum of one year. The ICT permit is inherently temporary and tied to the assignment, so it is not an open-ended work authorisation. Plan around the end of your transfer well in advance.
