Migration lawyer in Bulgaria
An migration lawyer in Bulgaria is a specialist who helps foreigners legally formalize their stay, residence or citizenship in this country. If you are looking for a professional immigration lawyer who will provide you with quality services and help you effectively, then you have come to the right place. The specialists working in the team of the law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” specialize in such requests of clients. Our team includes experts for whom the international plane of immigration law is the key focus of practice.
When might you need the help of an migration lawyer?
The services of a good immigration lawyer may be appropriate for clients with the following needs:
- Registration of a temporary or permanent residence permit. In order to get your application for a permit approved, you must submit a package of necessary documents confirming your right to a permit. A professional lawyer who specializes in migration law and regularly provides support for such requests can provide high-quality assistance to the client. You will know that all processes in the legal field are under control, so you will not encounter a refusal to issue a permit due to an incomplete package of documents or other reasons related to legal errors.
- Obtaining Bulgarian citizenship (through repatriation, marriage, naturalization). Each of the grounds for obtaining citizenship has its own requirements. We know how to adhere to them in order to get approval for the submitted application. We also advise clients on which format of political and legal ties with Bulgaria would be better for them to choose – permanent residence or citizenship. It should be understood that citizenship is not only the rights, but also the obligations of a citizen of the state. Therefore, when making such a decision, you need to know what the key ones of these obligations are. Then, based on the information received from the lawyer, you can make a balanced decision.
- Denial of a residence permit. If you have been denied a residence permit, at the first stage of our cooperation, the team of the law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” will carefully analyze the reason for such a refusal. And only after that, we will draw up a plan of further actions and begin to implement it. If the refusal was unfounded, we will help to appeal it in the legal field. And if the reason was, for example, an incomplete package of documents, then we will help to collect all the necessary documentation and re-submit the application.
- Appeals, challenges, expulsions. In such situations, professional legal support is especially important. When it comes to serious offenses, in some cases it is possible not to cancel the sanctions, but to reduce them.
- Family reunification. Obtaining a residence permit based on family reunification in Bulgaria is a common request that we work with.
- Residence permit due to investment or business. Residence permit based on investment or starting your own business is a common option. You should know how to do everything in the legal plane in order to get a positive response to your application.
- Support in deportation cases, cancellation of status, inclusion in SIS. For example, a relevant request is the removal of data from the SIS system or a reduction in the validity period of sanctions for deportation and entry bans.
- Support in purchasing real estate, opening a business and obtaining an entrepreneurial residence permit. To avoid the “pitfalls” in the legal and economic field of a new country, use legal support.
Next, let’s look at some common questions that are asked on this topic.
Frequently asked questions
Is it possible to obtain citizenship without renouncing Ukrainian citizenship?
It is important to know that Bulgaria does not recognize dual citizenship. This means that in relations with this country, people who have it will be considered exclusively as citizens of Bulgaria. To date, the Bulgarian legal system does not have legal agreements regarding dual citizenship with other countries.
When it comes to obtaining citizenship by naturalization, the applicant is required to renounce the previous citizenship. The only exception is the acquisition of Bulgarian citizenship in the case of marriage.
How long does the procedure for obtaining a temporary/permanent residence permit take?
Obtaining a temporary or permanent residence permit in Bulgaria depends on the grounds on which it is acquired. As practice shows, the procedure can last from several weeks to several months.
Is it possible to apply without knowing the language?
To become a citizen of Bulgaria, knowledge of the language is necessary. The same applies to a permanent residence permit. If we are talking about a temporary residence permit, then in this case everything depends on the reason for which you are applying for it. For example, when it comes to investments, employment or marriage with a citizen, knowledge of the language is not a prerequisite.
What to do in case of refusal?
If you have been denied a residence permit or citizenship, you should contact migration law specialists to first analyze the reason for the refusal and then draw up a plan for further action.
Is it possible to change the basis during your stay?
If you are in Bulgaria, having a temporary protection status, but want to apply for a residence permit, it is quite possible to do so. Contact us – and we will offer support in this process.
