Alright, so a while back, I was digging around the internet, trying to find a way to get a second passport. You know, just to have some options, maybe make traveling a bit easier. That’s when I stumbled upon this whole world of getting a Bulgarian passport. I was like, “Bulgaria, huh? Why not?”
First thing I did was a bunch of Googling. Found out that Bulgaria is part of the EU, so a Bulgarian passport lets you live and work anywhere in the European Union. Sounds pretty sweet, right? I also read that some folks were selling these passports. Seemed kinda sketchy, but I was curious.
I came across a few websites that were all like, “Bulgarian Passport for Sale! Totally Legit!” and stuff like that. They had pictures of these official-looking documents, and some even had testimonials. I’m not gonna lie, it looked tempting.

Then I started reading about the actual, legit ways to get Bulgarian citizenship. There’s the whole thing about having Bulgarian ancestors, which I definitely don’t. Then there’s this investment route, where you basically pump a ton of money into the country, and boom, you’re a citizen. Didn’t have that kind of cash lying around, sadly.
There was also a site talking about “13 Questions to Help You Understand Everything You Need to Know About a Bulgarian Passport.” I gave it a skim, but it was pretty much the same info I’d already seen.
One place was offering to take passport and visa photos online. They said you could just use your phone or computer. Seemed convenient, but I wasn’t sure if I trusted some random website with my face.
After a few days of this, I started to have second thoughts. I mean, buying a passport online just felt wrong. What if it was a scam? What if I got into trouble? I didn’t want to mess around with that.
I even read a comment online from someone asking, “So, is buying a Bulgarian passport worth it?” and the answer was basically, “Well, that depends on you, don’t it? If you got the money and you’re lookin’ for a way to move to Europe.” It made me think, yeah, it might be worth it for some people, but not for me.
One of the sites selling passports claimed their products would “pass all security checks.” They made it sound super reliable. It was tough, I was going back and forth. But I realized there was no way to know for sure. It was too big of a risk.
So, what did I end up doing? Nothing. I decided to drop the whole Bulgarian passport thing. It was too risky, too expensive, and just didn’t feel right. I figured there are probably other ways to make my travel dreams happen, ways that don’t involve shady online passport deals.
- Looked into buying a Bulgarian passport online.
- Found websites selling them, but it seemed sketchy.
- Researched legit ways to get citizenship, but they weren’t feasible for me.
- Considered the risks and decided against buying a passport.
- Concluded it wasn’t worth it for me and there are probably better ways to achieve my goals.
My final thoughts?
Don’t do it, guys. It’s not worth the risk. Stick to the legal routes, even if they take longer. You don’t want to end up in a bad situation just to save some time or money.
