Description
I help EU and non-EU citizens relocate to Bulgaria and avoid common pitfalls. Many newcomers overpay for rent, pick apartments that donโt qualify for residency, get stuck in Cyrillic paperwork, or face unexpected social security costs. I help you skip these mistakes and settle with confidence.
On this channel, I share advice on residency, renting without โforeigner pricesโ, taxes, healthcare, schools, and daily life.
Iโm Olga, a long-term expat with a degree in Economics & Management. After 8 years across Turkey, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, Vietnam, Thailand and more, I settled in Sofia, Bulgaria. I share my real-life experience as an expat, and work with trusted Bulgarian lawyers and accountants to give you up-to-date answers.

Do you feel safe in your city?ย
As for my home base in Sofia, Bulgaria, I generally feel quite safe in daily life, including near the city centre. I stay aware of my surroundings after sunset, but not to the point where taking a taxi after 7pm feels like the only option to get home. Public transport is safe and reliable โ which isnโt something you can say about every capital.
How is it where you live?

Merry Christmas!
Whether youโre spending it at home, traveling, or somewhere that doesnโt quite feel like home yet, I hope today gives you a pause.
Thank you for being here, for the conversations, and for making this channel feel like a real community โ not just comments under videos.
This year, between conversations in our expat group and one-on-one calls with clients, Iโve had the chance to speak with many of you directly โ about residency, housing, taxes, and also about doubts, trade-offs, and second-guessing big moves. Those conversations shape what I share here more than anything else.
In the year ahead, Iโm looking forward to continuing to explore relocation decisions together, grounded in our life in Bulgaria โ and in the changes happening here. Residency rules, the upcoming switch to the euro, how that may affect prices, and how recent political shifts translate into everyday reality all matter if youโre thinking long term.
At the same time, Iโll keep bringing in comparisons with other countries weโve lived in or spent extended time in โ not as abstract research, but as real alternatives โ so you can better understand where Bulgaria truly works, and where another option might make more sense.
If thereโs a question, topic, or country youโd like me to look into next, feel free to suggest it.
Wishing you a good few days to reset before the year turns.

Sorry to see you leave from Turkey. During your travels, you always provided useful insight into this country, thanks for that. And oh yes, my ikamet renewal went without any problems, no need for a certain amount of money to be placed in a bank. What is new though is that they register all fingerprints in the foreigners office. Take care, safe travels.

I love your insights to other countries, I was in Tbilissi and right now I am in Antalya. Looks light we have a similar taste. My guess is that you are in Vietnam now.

If you have a monthly income of 3000 dollars, Turkey is heaven.
