Visa & Entry

Polish passport holders enter Bulgaria freely as fellow EU citizens. No visa, no time limit on stays. A valid Polish passport or national ID card is accepted. Bulgaria joined the Schengen air zone in March 2024, so flights from Poland no longer go through passport control. Land border checks still apply at Bulgaria's non-Schengen borders with Turkey, Serbia, and North Macedonia.

Wizz Air flies direct from Warsaw Chopin (WAW) and Katowice (KTW) to Sofia (SOF) in about 2 hours. Ryanair operates from Krakow (KRK) and Poznan (POZ) to Sofia seasonally. For the Black Sea coast, Wizz Air and Ryanair fly to Varna (VAR) and Burgas (BOJ) from multiple Polish cities during summer. LOT also serves Warsaw to Sofia.

Bulgaria uses the Bulgarian lev (BGN), pegged to the euro at 1.9558 BGN per EUR 1 (this rate is fixed, not floating). Bulgaria is scheduled to adopt the euro, but no confirmed date is set yet. ATMs are widely available. Watch out for Euronet ATMs at tourist spots that offer unfavorable dynamic currency conversion. Choose to pay in BGN when prompted. Card payments work at most businesses in Sofia and resort towns. No mandatory vaccinations. Sofia Metro runs from the airport (Terminal 2) to the city center in about 20 minutes for BGN 1.60 (about EUR 0.82).
