Bulgaria Drops Visas for Britons and Americans

2006-08-07   |  www.novinite.com, 3rd August 2006

Britons, Americans, as well as nationals from another eleven nations holding valid passports will be able to enter Bulgaria without visas, the cabinet decided Thursday. According to the adopted amendments foreigners will be allowed to stay in Bulgaria for 90 days within a period of six months, reckoned from the date of the first entry. As the government is aligning Bulgaria's visa regime with EU standards, visas will be dropped for the citizens of North Ireland, Canada, Australia, and Mexico.

The same rules will apply for the residents of Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Salvador, New Zealand, and Guatemala, who will be allowed to enter and stay in Bulgaria solely upon a valid passport. The decree will take effect from September 1.

The Government also approved a set of proposals to amend the Visa Agreement with Turkey. Turkish citizens could stay 90 days with a single or multiple transit visas. Until now they were allowed to enter the country for 30 days upon invitation. In a separate development the government decided that Bulgarians will be allowed a free-visa entry into Israel.
