Within these countries, you have the right to:
- Travel and reside freely for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without additional formalities.
- Seek employment and work without the need for a separate work permit.
- Study and receive education, subject to the institution's admission criteria.
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.
