Bulgaria
can be found in the south-eastern part of Europe, along the borders of the
famous Balkan Peninsula. Over the past few years, it has been neglected and
overlooked as a premiere holiday destination and people are generally unaware
of the place’s beauty due to the limited literature given to the country.
Compared to its other European counterparts it is normally ignored by travelers
and tourists who come to the continent so they can experience the beauty that nature
has to offer.
Visiting Bulgaria By Land
Bulgaria
has one of the most picturesque summer resorts and beaches all over the world.
In fact, user ratings all over the internet lets you choose among the numerous
resorts and scenic spots. If you want to travel Bulgaria, it is advisable that
you do so by bringing your own vehicle. Search for websites online that can
provide you with the best facilities and hotels at the most affordable and
competitive price.
Car Registration And Taxes
If you wish
to travel to Bulgaria and keep your residence from another European Union
country, you do not need to pay extra taxes or register your car especially if
you are staying for a period of less than 6 months. If you are taking your car
and if you are planning to move to Bulgaria, which means that you will be
staying for more than six months, then you need to register and pay all the
relevant taxes.
The period
of registration is normally within 6 months and prior to leaving, make sure
that you check with the authorities the moment you leave the country or by the
time you arrive in Bulgaria. As part of your inquest, make sure that you ask
about the needed documents which will be requested from you as evidence.
In
a few countries, you can be eligible for a vehicle tax exemption if you are
moving in from another European Union country, provided that you meet the
deadlines and the other relevant conditions.
Exceptions To Compulsory Registration
Students
If you are
visiting Bulgaria to study, you are allowed to drive your own car without the
need to pay taxes or register it, as long as you have proof that you are indeed
enrolled in a legitimate educational institution.
Cross-border Workers
If you are
employed on one side of the national border, however, you reside on the other side,
and you return to your home at least once in one week, you are considered as a
cross-border employee.
If you are
using your own vehicle in order to commute from your home country to the place
where you work, you need to register and pay taxes at the country where you
come from and not the place where you are employed.
If you are
using a company car which is registered at the country where you are currently
working, you are allowed to use it for personal purposes in your home country
without the need to register it. This means that you will drive with a foreign
plated vehicle in the country where you reside.
