Where you can freely travel with a Bulgarian residence permit?

As a Bulgarian resident, you have the freedom to travel within the European Union (EU) and Switzerland without the need for a separate visa or permit. As a citizen of an EU member state, you can enjoy the benefits of the Schengen Area, which allows for unrestricted movement between participating countries.

It's worth noting that while Bulgaria is a member of the EU, it has not yet joined the Schengen Area. However, as a Bulgarian resident with a valid residence permit, you can still travel freely within the Schengen Area for tourism and short-term stays without the need for a separate visa.

As the EU and Schengen rules may be subject to change, it's always a good idea to check the latest travel regulations and the validity of your residence permit before planning your trips. You can find up-to-date information on the official EU and Bulgarian government websites.
