Information
on Border Control Procedures
The control
involves an identity check and a check of the travel documents. EU citizens are
subject to a minimum border control when crossing the borders of the Republic
of Bulgaria. Third country citizens have to go through an additional check for
visas or residence permits. The circumstances related to the purpose of the
visit, the financial means for the duration of stay declared, a reference into
the national database if a signal has been submitted prohibiting the entry into
the country, etc., are also checked.
Motor
vehicles are also subject to border control. Registration and ownership
documents are checked, as well as documents certifying the right to drive and
the necessary car insurance.
No fees are
paid while crossing the border or with reference to the border checks.
