We are here on Visa D retirement from UK and I have noticed that our electricity and water bills are in the dormant company name.Is this correct? Or should it be in my name?
It's all very Bulgarian! Read More
John from Rositsa by janemulberry
Hi, I'm in England at the moment, and my husband just had a visit from a Englishman from Rositsa called John, married to a Bulgarian, who says he knows me from the forum. Apparently I speak more to his Bulgarian wife.I'm really sorry but I'm not ...
Nah. We don't want to scare the neighbours tooooooo much with our strange British ways! The sight of anything we could flaunt would probably be enough to put the chickens off the lay. Read More

LOL! No, thankfully hubby remained fully clothed and no communal showering was involved.But I'm sure we've all had that annoying thing where we're in the bathroom half-undressed ready to shower when someone knocks on the front door and we need to ... Read More

Unfortunately I don't think I qualify for that badge! Hubby said he seemed a nice enough chap, and our neighbour doesn't know him but vouched for his Bulgarian wife, who I believe was sitting in their van.I'm just frustrated that I don't know who it ... Read More

How frustrating! Yes, it certainly is an experience!You could alternatively set it up in epay. Once it's all set up, it's very easy and they email immediately a bill is due. I haven't had any issues with it in over three years.I prefer knowing ... Read More

Goodness, that is complicated! And I thought our VIK was antiquated! Getting it changed over from the previous owner's name was a challenge requiring two visits to the VIK office in Toshevo and every bit of paperwork I possessed. But she gave me the ... Read More

That was pretty much my view, too. We have enough other hassles to deal with. Mostly four-legged -- we currently have ELEVEN kittens making their unauthorised homes in our house and garden!If the bills seem excessive or I have clear evidence ... Read More
Medical treatment in BG by JimJ
Stand by for more reporting on hospital treatment here in BG fairly soon...I'm going in for a TKR (Total Knee Replacement) on Tuesday and should be out of hospital in about 6 days, following a bit of rehab. First challenge will be getting up those ...
I'm glad you're home! I was wondering earlier whether you'd managed the jailbreak, and if so, how you managed the 77 steps. Well done! Prayers for your continued complete and far lower pain recovery! Read More

Mine both are too. I think that's because legally, the company owns the property. Presumably with the notarised document we need for the D visa/residency stating that the company gives us permission to live in the property we could get that ... Read More
D Visa Guidance by gwynj
INTRODUCTION I have posted much of this information in reply to several forum posts, but I think it might be helpful to have it one place. Following Brexit (and the end of the Transition period i.e. from 1/1/21), British citizens now need to apply ...
Oh dear! I am sorry. Praying for your recovery, and for the health care you are getting to be a bit -- or a LOT! -- better. Read More

@sammibenfell18 Yes, it's much more complicated after Brexit! Also the law on Foreigners in Bulgaria was updated in June last year changing some of the rules, so even how someone else tells you they got residency post Brexit but a couple of years ... Read More

@sammibenfell18I'm not sure who Charlotte is or why you directed your comment to her, but this is an old thread and they may not be active on the forum now. As @JImJ says, your husband probably will find that renting out that property will make ... Read More
Question re translated documents for D visa by janemulberry
I'm trying to get my D visa paperwork sorted out as quickly as possible, but have a problem with delays getting my apostilled documents back. I know I need to submit apostilled documents, but the question is, does the translation need to be done on ...
Thanks Alan! I'd intended to try to do it myself, but as time passes and the 6 months for the ACRO validity gets shorter and shorter with waits for apostilles and translation, I think I may go with using an immigration lawyer. If I mess up and have ... Read More
