In order to obtain residence permit in Bulgaria in accordance with the legislation one will need to establish a Trade Representation of a foreign company in Bulgaria which shall be registered in the BCCI (Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry).
This Trade Representation shall not be entitled to engage in any financial and economic activities. Correspondingly, accounts and records shall not be submitted to the Bulgarian tax authorities. The Representation shall report only to its holding company domiciled outside Bulgaria.
