I am from India, living in Netherlands. Do I need visa for Bulgaria?
I am an Indian passport holder. I live in Amsterdam and have Dutch resident permit which allows me to travel through Schengen countries.
Do I need a visa for visiting Bulgaria (Sofia) for 2-3 days?
Best Answer
According to Timatic, the database used by airlines based on live information from national governments:
Visa required, except for passengers with a residence permit issued by Netherlands for a maximum stay of 90 days
So you do not need a visa - you just present your passport and residence permit card.
