Can foreigners buy property in Bulgaria?

Foreigners can usually buy buildings and apartments directly. For land (plots) restrictions apply depending on citizenship: EU citizens are largely treated equally, whereas non-EU citizens usually acquire land not directly but through a Bulgarian company. Bulgaria has several company forms — both partnerships and capital companies; the common one is the OOD (equivalent to a German GmbH or a British Ltd.; single-member variant EOOD). Which form and route suit you is set out in the residence guide — the binding structure is arranged with a notary and adviser.
