IMPACT — MEDIUM

The Bulgarian government has eased employment requirements for some third-country nationals.

Key Points:

  • Foreign nationals intending to work in a highly skilled profession must have a “high professional qualification,” including one of the following:
    • A higher education degree equivalent to three years of study.
    • A document proving that they have at least five years of work experience equivalent to a higher education degree that is related to the job offer.
  • More information regarding the updated employment requirements for non-EU nationals intending to work in a highly skilled profession is available here.

BAL Analysis: Bulgarian authorities updated the employment requirements for non-EU nationals intending to work in a highly skilled profession to ensure third-country nationals are qualified for their positions.
