Before applying, your employer must run a labour market survey for at least 15 days to show the role could not be filled by a local or equally-eligible worker.
The single permit is the one Bulgarian work route that requires a labour market test. The employer must carry out a labour market survey for a minimum of 15 days, advertising the vacancy and genuinely trying to fill it with a Bulgarian national or someone with equivalent labour rights.
Only if no suitable local candidate is found can the employer proceed to apply for your single permit. This is an employer-led step, so the burden falls on the company to document its recruitment efforts. As an applicant, you should confirm the employer has completed and recorded this survey before relying on the job offer.
