Not everyone should move to Bulgaria.

I share our experience living in Sofia for 1 year:
from hidden tax costs and overpriced rentals
to Bulgaria’s healthcare realities, local banking frustrations,
and the day-to-day surprises that catch most expats off guard.

This isn’t another “Bulgaria is cheap” video.

It’s what you actually need to know before moving.

But moments like this feel like a quiet win.

Thanks to everyone who’s watched, commented, or shared the video.

A client recently asked me if he qualifies for a digital nomad visa in Bulgaria. I was confused — until I saw eSIM companies actually claiming it exists.

Non-EU retiree? There’s actually a way to move to Bulgaria

Most of my content is based on personal experience and official sources — as an EU citizen relocating with a family member, figuring out how to apply for residency, find housing, and build a life in Bulgaria as remote workers.

But over time, I noticed something:
Many of you aren’t coming here to work remotely — you’re looking to retire.
And you’re not from the EU.

The good news?
There’s actually a clear, step-by-step path to retiring in Bulgaria as a non-EU citizen.
And it’s much more manageable than you might think — the main requirement is having a qualifying pension.

I just published a new article that explains the full process:
