Can I switch employers or stay on after my seasonal work ends?

Your seasonal status is linked to one or more fixed-term contracts with a Bulgarian employer for genuinely seasonal work. It is not a flexible work permit that lets you move freely between unrelated jobs, and it does not count toward long-term settled residence in the way other permits do.

When the seasonal engagement finishes you are generally expected to return home. If you want to keep working in Bulgaria beyond the season or build toward residence, you should transition to a different pathway such as the single permit rather than trying to extend seasonal status indefinitely.
