1.Workers from third countries (outside the EU and EEA) can be employed as Seasonal Workers if your company operates in the sectors of Hospitality and Restaurant Services or Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. If your company operates in other sectors such as Construction, Manufacturing, Trade, etc., you can still hire foreign workers for up to 3 years under a different procedure;

2.The most simplified procedure is for employment of up to 90 days, which can be extended up to 9 months while the worker is employed with you in Bulgaria;

3.Information about your company is collected automatically by the authorities. You must not have any outstanding tax obligations or debts to the General Labour Inspectorate;

4.The hiring process is not short, but it is legally regulated. The overall duration for processing a foreign worker’s documents is approximately 2 months in Bulgaria and 2 months in the foreign country;

5.If the employment relationship with the foreign national is terminated early (e.g. the worker does not show up), you must notify in writing the Employment Agency and the Migration Directorate of the Ministry of Interior within 3 days of the termination. You will not be held liable by the institutions, other than the obligation to notify them.
