After Bulgaria’s accession to the EU on January 1st,
2007, Bulgarians will be considered European
Economic Area (EEA) nationals, and under community
law will be entitled to move and reside freely in any EU Member
State they might choose. Therefore, Bulgarian nationals will not be
required to obtain a visa to enter the UK, except for work permit
holders, which intend to work in the country for more than 6 months.
ENTERING THE UK
When you enter the UK, you need to show your passport and national
identity card. When you arrive at major ports and airports you
should use the separate channel marked 'EEA/EU' where it is
available. Immigration officers will check your passport or national
identity card to make sure that it is valid and belongs to you.
REFUSAL OF ENTRY
You will be denied access to UK territory on public safety/public
security, or public health grounds, or if you were banned from
entering or residing in the UK before, and the ban against you has
not been lifted. You need to contact the British Embassy in Sofia so
that you have the ban removed.
If you do not qualify for entry into the UK, we will explain the
reasons. Our staff will identify themselves by name when asked or
will refer you to a senior manager on duty. We will tell you in
writing why we have refused you entry to the UK and if you have any
rights of appeal.
