Irish passport holders enter Bulgaria without a visa for unlimited stays as EU citizens. No fee, no advance application. A valid Irish passport or Passport Card is sufficient. Bulgaria joined the Schengen air and sea border zone in March 2024, though land border checks with non-Schengen neighbors remain in place. Ireland is not in Schengen, so passport control applies on arrival from Dublin.
For stays beyond 90 days, register with the local Migration Directorate within 3 months to obtain a certificate of EU residence. The fee is BGN 18 (about EUR 9). Bring proof of employment, self-employment, studies, or sufficient resources plus health insurance. A Bulgarian personal number (EGN or LNC for foreigners) is issued upon registration and needed for banking and contracts.
