Bulgaria offers permanent residence to foreigners who make a qualifying investment under the Foreigners Act, for example a sizeable stake in licensed Bulgarian investment vehicles (such as collective investment schemes or alternative investment funds focused on Bulgarian companies) or other priority investments. Important and often misunderstood: the old fast-track citizenship-by-investment and the government-bond permanent-residence option were repealed (citizenship fast-track in 2022), so this route now leads to permanent residence, not a fast passport. Always verify the current qualifying investments and thresholds with the authorities before committing funds.
