4 The Bulgarian Immigrant Investor Program (BGIIP) was created for non- European citizens. The legal base of the Bulgarian residency and citizenship scheme is the Act for Foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria. The law gives the framework for the whole process of obtaining the resident status to the citizens of third countries (non-eu states). Bulgaria RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT The Residency by Investment Program Bulgaria has been developed by the government as another mechanism for promoting economic growth. Most countries offer these programs in order to attract much-needed foreign direct investment so they can then use these funds to invest in their own economic or cultural projects. In return, investors and their families would obtain a Permanent Residence Permit and become eligible for Bulgarian citizenship. After the foreign investor has been a permanent resident for five years, the investor can apply for Bulgarian citizenship through a process called naturalization. The naturalization application must contain proof that the foreign investor maintained their permanent residence and has not been convicted of a capital crime. Once the naturalization application is approved, the investor can obtain a Bulgarian passport.
