How long can I stay in Bulgaria on a Schengen visa?

A short-stay Schengen visa lets you stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The embassy decides the exact dates and the number of entries on your visa.

Does Bulgaria offer visa on arrival to Indian citizens?

No. Indian citizens need a Schengen visa before they travel to Bulgaria.

When should I apply for my Bulgaria visa?

You can apply up to 6 months before your trip, and no later than 15 days before you travel. Apply early in busy seasons, when appointments fill up fast.

Can I visit other Schengen countries with my Bulgaria visa?

Yes. A Schengen visa lets you travel across all Schengen countries. Apply for the visa of the country where you will spend the most days. If you spend the same number of days in each, apply for the country you enter first.
