Questions worth answering
before you move anything.

Bulgaria combines an EU and Schengen location with a 10% flat rate on personal and corporate income, low company-formation and living costs, and clear residency routes. For most clients it is the most practical low-tax base inside the EU rather than an offshore arrangement. Read Why Bulgaria.

Founders, freelancers, digital nomads, sole traders, consultants, business owners and other internationally mobile people, particularly those who earn largely online or across borders. Whether it suits you depends on your income, where you currently live and your family situation, which we assess before recommending anything.

Not necessarily. Our relocation service is only for clients who actually want to move their home to Bulgaria, and it is not required to form a Bulgarian company, use the 10/10/10 Method™ or add banking. The 10% personal-tax position is separate and depends on whether you establish Bulgarian tax residence under the applicable rules, including factors such as days and your centre of vital interests.

It depends on the tax position you are aiming for. Tax residency turns on factors such as the days you spend in a country and where your centre of vital interests sits, not a single fixed number. See our guide to the 183-day rule.

In most cases yes — family members can often be included through the appropriate residency route. We confirm eligibility and handle the documentation for the whole family together.

Sofia is the most common base, with Plovdiv and Bansko also popular depending on lifestyle and budget. Read our Sofia, Plovdiv and Bansko guide.

Most clients begin with a long-stay visa and a residence permit under a qualifying route, renewed over time, with permanent residency and eventually citizenship available on a longer timeline. See our residency service.

Timelines depend on the route, your documentation and appointment availability. We give you a realistic timeline in your plan once we understand your circumstances.

We currently have a 100% success rate on completed Bulgarian residency applications for qualifying clients. We review eligibility before proceeding and cannot guarantee the outcome of a future application.

We have worked with 180+ clients since 2020, and residency is one of the most common parts of the setups we handle. We assess eligibility for every applicant before proceeding.

No. Holding a residence permit does not by itself make you tax resident — the two are assessed on different tests. Read residency vs tax residency.

No. You remain tax resident in another country until you actually meet the rules for ceasing residence there, which usually means changing your days, ties and centre of vital interests. We plan the exit as carefully as the arrival. More on this.

Yes, at a practical level. We are most familiar with common departure countries such as the UK, and work alongside local advisers where specialist advice is needed. See our guide on leaving the UK for Bulgaria.

Bulgaria applies a flat 10% rate to both personal and corporate income, with a 5% rate on dividends. How it applies to you depends on how you draw income and your wider position. See our tax strategy service, or the 10% flat tax guide.

No. Simply owning a Bulgarian company does not give you a 10% personal tax position. It depends on becoming genuinely Bulgarian tax resident and structuring things correctly — which is exactly what we assess and set up.

Not always. Some clients need a company, others only residency, and some both. We recommend the lightest structure that achieves what you actually need.

Sometimes, depending on where it is and how it is taxed. Keeping an overseas company can create issues such as controlled-foreign-company rules, so we review it before recommending whether to keep, restructure or replace it.

A Bulgarian company can be formed in a matter of days once documents are ready; our fastest this year was four working days. See our company formation guide.

We have formed 150+ Bulgarian companies for clients since 2020.

Everyone from sole traders to established owner-managed companies. Client businesses structured through Bulgaria currently represent more than €75m in annual revenue, but there is no minimum — suitability is about fit, not size.

Yes. We help clients open Bulgarian personal and business accounts, including preparing the KYC and source-of-funds documentation banks expect. See our banking service.

Yes. Where it adds useful flexibility, we arrange Georgian accounts alongside Bulgarian ones for suitable clients. Read about Georgian banking for non-residents.

We have secured 280+ banking relationships across Bulgaria and Georgia for clients.

No. All account openings remain subject to the bank’s own compliance and approval process. What we do is prepare your application properly so it has the best possible chance of success.

Multiple accounts add resilience and multi-currency flexibility, and reduce the risk of a single account freeze disrupting everything. More on banking across borders.

It depends on the bank. Some allow remote onboarding; others require a visit in person. We tell you which applies before you start, so you can plan any travel.

Residency, company formation, tax planning, banking, relocation administration and ongoing support where you want it. Most of the work stays on our side; you make the decisions.

We have worked with 180+ clients since 2020.

180+ clients · 150+ companies · 280+ banking relationships · 100% residency success rate

A short consultation to understand your situation, a review of what fits and whether Bulgaria makes sense, a proposed setup with scope and cost (see our published fees), then onboarding if you decide to go ahead. See how we work.

Nothing formal, but it helps to know your current country of residence, nationality, how you earn, any company details, where you would like to move and your family situation.

A company can be ready in days; residency and banking take longer and depend on documentation and provider timelines. We give you a realistic end-to-end timeline in your plan.

Packages start at €3,995 and single services from €495. Third-party costs are passed on at cost. See pricing →

Yes. Accounting, filings, renewals and general administration can stay with us, so your structure keeps working after it is set up.

Then we will tell you. We establish suitability before recommending a setup, so the first conversation is about whether this genuinely fits — not a sales pitch.
