Pros and Cons of Living in Bulgaria - (An Expat Heaven or Hell?)

Welcome to another video! Today, I will be talking about the pros and cons of living in Bulgaria, specifically Sofia and Plovdiv. I'll further discuss whether Bulgaria is attractive for expats or not. As someone that moved to Bulgaria to start a business over 6 years ago, I have a lot to say about every aspect of life in Bulgaria. All of the pros can be taken as the main reasons why emigration to Bulgaria was my first choice. If you are considering residency in Bulgaria, then this video is for you.

So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of living in Bulgaria as an expat?

In my previous video, where I talk about why I left Greece and moved to Bulgaria (you can check out that video by clicking this link: https://bit.ly/3kaea1B), I’ve mentioned that Bulgaria is one of the cheapest countries in Europe, as well as that it has the lowest personal and corporate tax rates within the EU. Bulgaria has a flat tax system where personal and corporate tax rates are 10% across the board, which is why many people come to Bulgaria in order to open up a company or be a freelancer. So, if you have an internet-based business, then Bulgaria will not disappoint you.

Bulgaria is also one of the first countries to make it onto the list as one of the cheapest countries to retire to precisely for this reason. These are just two of the many pros of living in Bulgaria. It’s a country that has a lot to offer.

But what are the cons of living in Bulgaria?

As you can probably guess, one of the main cons of living in Bulgaria is connected to the very cheap lifestyle in the country. Bad infrastructure and corruption in Bulgaria are some of the main issues in the country, more serious ones anyway. In this video, I list many more, so that you can get a clear picture of what the negatives of living here are.
