Clear answers before the next step.

<p>Yes. There's no nationality or residency requirement for company ownership. A non-EU founder can be the sole owner and sole manager of an EOOD (single-member limited liability company).</p>

<p>Around €1 for an OOD or EOOD. It still has to be deposited into a temporary bank account and documented with a deposit certificate before the Commercial Register will process the filing.</p>

<p>Yes. Every Bulgarian company needs a registered office and management address in the country where official correspondence can be reliably received — regardless of where the owner actually lives there or not.</p>

<p>Timing depends on document readiness, the selected structure, verification requirements, and processing by third parties or institutions. A case-specific sequence is provided after review.</p>

<p>No. Formation can be completed remotely with a power of attorney, though in-person registration and bank KYC are usually faster if you visit.</p>

Yes. Available support includes accounting coordination, payroll, compliance organization, virtual office options, and practical business administration.

<p>A flat 10% on net profit — with no tiered brackets.</p>

<p>Most personal income is also taxed at a flat 10% rate.</p>

<p>A 5% dividend withholding tax applies, reduced to 0% for qualifying shareholders resident in the EU or EEA.</p>

<p>Standard VAT is 20%, with a 9% reduced rate on specific goods and services. Registration becomes mandatory once your Bulgarian turnover passes €51,130 in a calendar year (the 2026 threshold) — you can also register voluntarily before that.</p>

<p>No. We can help prepare and coordinate an application, but each bank independently decides whether to accept a customer and may request additional information.</p>

<p>Some Bulgarian banks require an in-person visit for company KYC. Some accept alternative arrangements in specific cases — we'll tell you what's realistic for your situation before you commit to a trip.</p>

<p>No. Company ownership on its own isn't grounds for a residence permit. Non-EU founders typically apply through a specific visa route, most commonly a Type D visa tied to actively managing the business — which involves its own requirements around funds, health insurance and a genuine, active company.</p>

<p>It's a separate route for remote employees, freelancers and business owners who work for employers or clients outside Bulgaria — no Bulgarian company required, and holders can't take on Bulgarian clients or employers. The minimum income requirement is set at 50 times the Bulgarian minimum wage (around €31,000 a year in 2026).</p>

<p>It depends on where your income comes from. If you'll keep working for foreign clients or employers, the Digital Nomad visa may fit. If you plan to run a Bulgarian company and take advantage of its 10% tax rate, company formation plus a business-based residence route is the relevant path. We'll help you work out which applies before you commit to either.</p>
