Seasonal employment up to 90 days
Seasonal employment up to 90 days is a form of temporary work applied for a specific period of the year when there is increased demand for labor in certain sectors. This type of employment is usually limited to a maximum of 90 days within a calendar year and is common in industries such as tourism, agriculture, and some sectors characterized by temporary or cyclical work.
The main purpose of seasonal employment is to provide employers with the necessary workforce during peak periods of production activity without requiring long-term commitments. This type of employment does not require long-term contracts or social security contributions as with permanent employment.
Workers receive compensation for this period but do not have all the rights and benefits associated with permanent employment, such as vacation or social protection.
Seasonal employment of this type is facilitated by the short timeframe for document preparation and visa issuance.
Continuous employment from 1 to 3 years
Long-term employment from 1 to 3 years is a form of labor engagement involving a fixed-term employment contract for a longer period, typically one to three years.
This type of employment differs from seasonal or temporary work, as it involves longer-term commitment but does not reach the duration of a permanent open-ended contract. In long-term employment, the employee and employer enter into a contract for a specified term—between one and three years. After this period, the contract may be renewed or terminated depending on the employer’s needs and the employee’s wishes.
Long-term employment provides employees with greater stability compared to short-term contracts, offering secure income over a longer period. Depending on the contract terms, employees may also receive additional benefits such as health insurance, pension contributions, leave, and other social advantages.
Seasonal employment from 3 to 9 months
Seasonal employment from 3 to 9 months is a type of temporary work covering a period of three to nine months within any 12-month period. It is typical for tasks performed during specific seasons or peak periods of intense production or commercial activity. This type of employment is primarily established and regulated in two economic sectors: agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; and hospitality and catering.
A residence permit for long-term employment as a seasonal worker is issued to a foreigner who meets the conditions for labor market access under Bulgarian law and holds a visa. The permit can be extended once within the 9-month period if the employment contract continues with the same employer or upon changing employers. This right may be used only once by the foreigner during the validity of the seasonal worker permit.

Preparation of a package of documents for appointment
Preparation of legal and administrative employment documents is a crucial stage in the hiring process. This step ensures the legality of the appointment, proper employee registration, and clear definition of the rights and obligations of both parties.
Preparing a complete document package, including employment contracts, declarations, and appendices, is critical for compliance. It protects both employee rights and employer interests and is mandatory for reporting to government authorities and social security institutions.
When hiring foreigners, compliance with Bulgaria’s Law on Foreigners is required. Employers wishing to hire foreigners must follow specific procedures to obtain a work permit. This includes:
- Employer registration – The employer must be registered and meet certain conditions to hire foreigners.
- Work permit – A work permit is issued to the foreigner, confirming suitability for the position and that no local candidates meet the qualifications.
- Document preparation – Employment contracts must specify all work conditions and be signed by both parties, in Bulgarian and, if needed, in the foreigner’s language.
- Registration with authorities – After signing the contract, the employer must register the employee with the National Revenue Agency and relevant social security institutions.
These steps ensure legality, protect foreign worker rights, and reduce legal risks for the employer.
Issuing a work permit and visa
Hiring third-country nationals (non-EU citizens) in Bulgaria involves administrative and legal procedures to secure their legal right to work. Employers and candidates must complete steps including document collection, fee payment, and interviews. All required permits must comply with Bulgarian and EU law.
The process includes:
- Work permit – Primary document allowing employment in Bulgaria.
- Employer application – Demonstrates no suitable local candidates are available.

Employee monitoring during employment
Employee monitoring is the systematic observation and evaluation of an employee’s performance and behavior while fulfilling duties. It ensures tasks are executed effectively, company rules and policies are followed, and professional development is supported. Monitoring helps maintain productivity, quality, and adherence to company standards while providing feedback and guidance for employees.
Internal corporate transfer
Intra-corporate transfer involves moving an employee from one position or division to another within the same company, nationally or internationally. It is a key tool for talent management and resource allocation, offering professional growth opportunities and adapting to business needs.
Under Bulgarian law, intra-corporate transfers for third-country nationals allow temporary relocation while maintaining the original employment contract. Permits are typically issued for one year, extendable under certain conditions, with maximum validity up to three years for managers and specialists, and one year for trainees.
This mechanism enables international mobility, sharing of best practices, and professional development opportunities for employees.
