Bulgaria: Open Borders Today, Shared Currency Tomorrow
As of January 1, 2025, Bulgaria is officially part of the Schengen Area.
No more internal border checks. Faster travel. Smoother logistics.
And starting January 1, 2026, the lev will make way for the euro — a move toward greater stability, integration, and international confidence.
For the creative and film industries, it’s more than policy.
It means fewer barriers to co-productions.
Streamlined access for international crews.
One currency. One zone. More momentum.
The door’s been open. Now the path is even clearer.
Bulgaria isn’t just joining Europe — it’s arriving with purpose.
