Permanent residence is a long-term status and a foundation for eventual naturalisation, but citizenship is a separate process with its own residence and eligibility requirements.
Investor permanent residence gives you a stable, long-term right to live in Bulgaria, and it is often used as a stepping stone toward eventual citizenship.
However, citizenship is not automatic. Naturalisation is governed by separate legal requirements, including a qualifying period of residence and other eligibility criteria, and these rules have changed over time. If your goal is a Bulgarian passport, treat permanent residence as the first stage and confirm the current naturalisation conditions before relying on any specific timeline.
