Expat Lawyers in Bulgaria- Relocation, Tax & Employment

Holistic approach

Some examples of areas in which CMS can help: 

  • Immigration law, legislation and regulations related to labour mobility, including terms and conditions of employment applicable to posted workers;
  • Recruiting and posting;
  • Administrative procedures;
  • Healthcare, pensions, social security and Bulgarian taxes for expats;
  • Collective agreements;
  • Remuneration; and
  • Declarations and sanctions.

Fun fact

Did you know that an expat requesting a work permit as a freelancer needs to supply a language certificate to prove that they know the Bulgarian language?

Did you know that hiring in Bulgaria can also mean a short-term seasonal farm employment contract for an individual day’s work?

Did you know that when a foreigner applies for a residence permit, the Migration Directorate examines the documents after receiving an opinion in writing from the State Agency for National Security.
