Bulgaria travel insurance

Before you buy travel insurance for your holiday to Bulgaria, there are a few things to think about:

• The cost of your trip - if you have to cancel, it's important to know that you can get your money back
• The activities you’re likely to be doing - if you're planning anything really extreme, we can offer you extra cover with our adventure and extreme sports cover
  
• How much medical coverage you have - no one wants to think about getting ill or having an accident abroad but, unfortunately, it does happen
• And don't forget to check the latest travel advice for Bulgaria from the FCO

We can cover your kids for free!

To help you have the best holiday, we’ve put together some useful information that we think you’ll want to know before your trip to Bulgaria.

Do I need a visa for Bulgaria?

As a British citizen you don’t need a visa to enter Bulgaria. However, if you have a different type of British nationality, you need to check entry requirements with the Bulgarian Embassy in London before you travel.

If you want to stay in Bulgaria for more than three months, you’ll need to register with the police and apply for a residence permit. You can find more information on how to register and fill in the appropriate documentation at the Ministry of Interior website.

Healthcare in Bulgaria

British citizens should have their free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which can be used in Bulgaria. This will cover any necessary treatments you may receive at public healthcare centres or hospitals on your trip. However, it’s important to remember to still have travel insurance in place to be able to cover the costs of any unexpected medical treatment the EHIC might not cover, including repatriation costs.

You can find more information about healthcare in Bulgaria here.
