Overview of the accelerated review process for Blue Card documents
Companies wishing to relocate their employees, subject to the condition of submitting applications for groups of at least 10 employees, should send information in a table in Excel format (template enclosed) by e-mail 2 (two) days before the official submission of the application and the necessary documents in the Migration Directorate at the Ministry of Interior.
The tables with information about the list of job candidates should be sent to the e-mail address: bluecard@mig.gov.bg. Contact person from the company should be stated in the table. If necessary, the institutions involved in the process may contact that person directly for operational purposes.
In order to protect personal data, it is necessary that all tables are password protected. Passwords must be provided in a separate email to the above e-mail address.
After e-mailing the information, the relevant documents and applications for the persons you have indicated in the tables must be entered by the employer or authorized by his face in the Migration Directorate or in the "Migration" department at the regional directorates of the Ministry of Interior.
Upon receipt of a letter of approval that the foreigner is approved, employees must be instructed to visit the consulate as soon as possible and take action to apply for a visa under Art. . 15, para. 1 of the Law on Foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria.
