Entry Requirements to Bulgaria

What do Greeks need to enter Bulgaria from Greece?
What certificates does a Greek need to travel to Bansko?

We are pleased to announce that as of May 1, 2022, the recent stricter measures regarding the entry of the public from Greece to Bulgaria and vice versa have been lifted. All travelers arriving in the country, regardless of their country of origin, are no longer required to present a valid certificate of vaccination or recovery from COVID-19 or proof of a negative test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection (PCR or Rapid Antigen test).

Additionally, the requirement to complete the Passenger Locator Form (PLF) by visitors from all countries is no longer mandatory as of March 15, 2022.

However, a simplified PLF remains in operation, the completion of which is OPTIONAL, with the sole purpose of enabling the traveler/family to issue an EU Certificate of negative or positive COVID-19 test result.

You can find out about the current travel restrictions in the destination country/region on the following authoritative websites, as well as on the websites of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Embassies and Consulates of the destination countries.
