Bulgaria joined the Schengen Area for air and sea borders in March 2024, so flights from Germany to Bulgaria no longer go through passport control. Land borders still have checks for now. German nationals can live and work in Bulgaria without permits. For stays over 3 months, register at the local Migration Directorate office. Healthcare is covered through the EHIC card.
