Things you should know <\/strong>when applying for Bulgarian citizenship<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"TipsThere is no need to know Bulgarian<\/strong> \u2013 You are not required to demonstrate prior knowledge in the Bulgarian language during the interview at the Bulgarian embassy. The interview can also be conducted in English; and if you do not speak English fluently, you are allowed to bring an interpreter.<\/p>\n

There is also an option to conduct the interview in Hebrew. You just need to know that the waiting time for an interview in Hebrew is longer than normal.<\/p>\n

Proof of residence for reinstating prior citizenship<\/strong> \u2013 If you have lost Bulgarian citizenship which was previously in your possession (and did not<\/strong> immigrate to Israel during the 1948-1950 big wave of immigration), you will be asked to prove that you lived in Bulgaria continuously for at least 3 years and were eligible for citizenship, or were a citizen, and that you never gave up your Bulgarian citizenship. If you meet these criteria, you will be able to apply for reinstated citizenship.<\/p>\n

Printing the documents in Hebrew<\/strong> \u2013 The documents must all be in one language, to the extent possible, and documents in all languages must be translated to Bulgarian<\/a>. Thus, if a document contains more than one language, this will increase the translation cost. It is preferable to have all the documents in one language \u2013 Hebrew or English.<\/p>\n

Obtaining the required documents and the rapid submission method<\/strong> \u2013 The official documents that you are required to submit, such as a summary of registration, a health certificate, a certification of name change, and a certificate of good conduct, must be submitted within six months of their issuance. You must show these documents to the Bulgarian consul during the interview at the embassy. Therefore, it is important to complete the process of obtaining the documents as rapidly as possible. Note that the documents must be submitted to Bulgaria to have them translated in preparation for the interview.<\/p>\n

Naturalization for a child of a Bulgarian parent <\/strong>\u2013 The naturalization process for a child is accelerated, taking up to six months.<\/p>\n

Unifying documents to save money \u2013 <\/strong>If you want to save money on issuing documents, you can unify the following documents; summary of registration and certification of name change. In this case, you need only obtain one apostille stamp<\/a>. This will also save you money on the legal translation in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
