What qualifies as an investment for Bulgarian permanent residence by investment?

Bulgaria's investor residence route is built around making a substantial, qualifying investment in the country. Recognised options have included Bulgarian government bonds and shares or licensed financial-market instruments linked to Bulgarian companies.

The investment must be held for the prescribed minimum period rather than withdrawn shortly after approval. Because the specific qualifying instruments and amounts are set by Bulgarian law and can change, you should confirm the current options and thresholds with the Migration Directorate or an authorised adviser before committing funds.
