Wondering if Vincentian citizens need a visa for Bulgaria? The answer is no—for short trips! If you’re from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, you can stay in Bulgaria visa-free for up to 90 days in a 180-day period. For longer stays, you’ll need to secure a residence permit.
What do Vincentians need to enter Bulgaria visa-free?
If you’re a Vincentian citizen visiting Bulgaria, make sure you have these essential documents:
- A passport valid at least 3 months beyond your departure.
- Evidence of your travel plans, such as a hotel booking or an invitation.
- A return ticket or proof of enough funds to support your stay.
- Medical insurance with a minimum of €30,000 coverage is suggested.
Should Vincentians have medical insurance when visiting Bulgaria?

Can citizens from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines extend their visit in Bulgaria?
Yes! Vincentian citizens who wish to remain in Bulgaria for over 90 days must apply for a temporary residence permit. Required documents include:
- Financial stability proof;
- Rental agreement or housing confirmation;
- Valid medical insurance;
- Police clearance certificate (in specific cases).
Ensure you apply before the 90-day period ends to avoid any fines.
If you don’t have the right to enter Bulgaria without a visa, you may need an airport transit visa.
An airport transit visa can be single-entry, double-entry, or, as an exception, multiple-entry, with a validity period of three months from the date of its issuance.
What does an A-type transit visa do?
An airport transit visa entitles a foreigner to cross the border or stay in the international transit zone of the airport in the event of a transit landing or change of flights in order to continue traveling to another country.
If you want to travel to Bulgaria with your pet, your pet will need a microchip, proof of rabies vaccination, and a health certificate approved by a veterinarian. Part of the medical certificate is a written statement by the owner or person accompanying the animals that the animals are not subject to movement for the purpose of selling or transferring these goods.
Your pet must also be accompanied by an animal's passport.

To rent a car in Bulgaria, you must have a valid driver's license, passport and car rental insurance. If your license isn’t Bulgarian or your driver's license is recognized in the EU, then you will need to get an international driver's license in Bulgaria, as this is required by most car rental companies. You can get an international driver's license online or in person.
To rent a car, you need a minimum driver experience of at least 3 years. The minimum age is 21 years (for some types of cars – 25 years).
