Employment in Bulgaria Expatriates considering working in Bulgaria have a relatively limited range of options available to them and the majority of those buying property in Bulgaria are doing so for investment purposes rather than to move to Bulgaria and live and work there full time. Those expatriates who wish to remain living in Bulgaria and take up employment can do so if they have a permanent resident’s permit or if they’ve been offered a specific job. In the latter case a temporary work permit is issued that bears the name of the employer and employee and states the duration for the permit’s validity. If you’re serious about working in Bulgaria you should travel to the country, get your bearings and start networking as soon as possible because it is often easier to find employment when you’re in the country and literally in the right place at the right time. A lot of openings are discussed openly and then filled simply through word of mouth. If you’re seeking a specific type of job consider targeting suitable employers with your CV and a covering letter and also look in local English language Bulgarian press and on the internet for advertised positions such as www.jobinbulgaria. |
