How to Obtain Romanian/Bulgarian Citizenship for Yourself and Your Family Members

Support from immigration lawyers in obtaining EU citizenship
Obtaining citizenship of one of the European Union countries is a strategic step that opens access to all the advantages of living, working, and studying in the EU for you and your family. Two popular and accessible options are obtaining a Romanian or Bulgarian passport.

Obtaining Romanian citizenship gives access to all the advantages of living, working, and studying in European Union countries. Holders of a Romanian passport may travel freely throughout the EU and more than 145 other countries worldwide, use the European healthcare system, study at leading universities, open bank accounts, and at the same time retain their original citizenship. In accordance with the Romanian Citizenship Law of 1 March 1991, foreign nationals are entitled to obtain a Romanian passport by descent, through naturalisation, or on the basis of marriage to a citizen of the country.

Obtaining a Bulgarian passport grants a foreign national all the rights of a European Union citizen — freedom of movement, employment, and education, as well as access to a developed healthcare system and banking services. A Bulgarian passport allows visa-free travel to more than 170 countries worldwide, including all Schengen Area states. Bulgarian law permits dual citizenship, allowing migrants to retain their original passport. The process is regulated by the Citizenship Act of the Republic of Bulgaria. The main grounds for obtaining citizenship are by descent, through naturalisation, or on the basis of marriage to a citizen of the country.

Guide to Obtaining Citizenship

Support from immigration lawyers in obtaining EU citizenship

An immigration lawyer provides the Romanian citizenship applicant with a detailed consultation, during which each stage of the programme is explained and all questions raised by the applicant are answered.

A family tree is reconstructed to confirm that the applicant has grounds for obtaining Romanian citizenship. The documents are collected by lawyers, while the applicant provides information about close relatives in a special questionnaire.

The specialists prepare all mandatory documents of the applicant, carry out their professional translation from Russian into Romanian, and have them notarised.

A licensed lawyer submits the prepared dossier to the Ministry of Justice. After the successful registration of the documents, the case is assigned a number (dosar), by which the applicant may track the status of the application on the official portal of the Ministry of Justice in the “Orders” section.

The applicant is issued a citizenship certificate, on the basis of which the lawyers arrange Romanian documents for him or her — registration of residence, marriage certificate (if required), ID card, and biometric international passport.

Client Testimonials

Marina Kovalenko, 34 years old, Moscow
I spent a long time studying the issue of obtaining EU citizenship for myself and my teenage daughter. The choice fell on Romania, as this country offers a fast-track immigration option. We worked closely with Europeentry, and the result exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, I was pleasantly surprised by the company’s openness: during the consultation, they explained all stages in detail, gave me the timeframes and the cost, without any hidden fees. The lawyer handling my case remained in contact, answering all questions, even the most basic ones. After receiving the passport, I was able to enrol my daughter in a German college, where she now studies free of charge.
Artem Protasov, 40 years old, Minsk
My wife and I own a small business and viewed Bulgarian citizenship as a way to expand our opportunities for doing business in Europe. We were looking for a reliable company with a strong market reputation. In the end, Europeentry helped us legalise our status in the EU. The company’s specialists thoroughly reviewed our documents and information about our relatives, and also found archive records confirming our connection to Bulgarians. We are now full citizens of the EU. Thank you to the company for the work done and for our European passports!
Dmitry Semenikhin, 29 years old, Vladivostok
I had long dreamed of living abroad. I also wanted to travel freely throughout Europe and other countries. That is why the decision to obtain a Romanian passport became an important step toward my dream. Europeentry offered me an excellent option. I was pleased with the speed of the company’s specialists — from the initial consultation to document submission, a little over one month passed. Given how busy I was, the ability to complete most stages remotely was a lifesaver. I have already received a Romanian passport, moved to Spain, and am gradually settling in.
Olga Sukhareva, 52 years old, Yerevan
My husband and I started thinking about our future in retirement and wanted to move to a country with a mild climate and affordable prices. We chose Bulgarian citizenship and migration services from Europeentry. We had concerns because of our age and the complexity of the process, but the company dispelled all our fears. They consulted us in detail and supported us at every stage: they helped us collect all the documents and organised their translation and apostille certification. Waiting for the decision of the Bulgarian state authorities was the most stressful part, but we were kept informed at all times. When we were notified that we had become Bulgarian citizens, we realised that a new chapter in our lives had begun. We now live 15 km from Burgas, enjoying the sea, the sun, and the pleasant climate.
Albina Yelokhova, 36 years old, Yekaterinburg
I am a mother of two children. Securing a prosperous future for my sons was my main goal. I approached Europeentry for assistance in obtaining Romanian citizenship and did not regret it. The company demonstrated not only a professional but also a humane approach to our situation. They explained in detail how to obtain citizenship for the children and helped me gather all the necessary documents. The process was entirely transparent and safe, which was especially important to me. While we were waiting for the passports, my elder son and I were choosing a university where he would study. It was very stressful because there was not much time, and when we received the passports and my son was able to enrol at the Technical University of Denmark in Kongens Lyngby, I could finally breathe freely. I would like to thank the company for creating opportunities for my children’s future!
Sergey Brunovsky, 45 years old, Novosibirsk
As a person with substantial business experience, I am accustomed to examining all contractors thoroughly. Europeentry passed my “audit” flawlessly: licences, more than 10 years on the market, and a transparent cooperation agreement. I was choosing between Romania and Bulgaria and ultimately decided on Bulgaria because of the business prospects in that country. The company’s lawyers not only prepared the document package brilliantly, but also provided detailed advice on all matters related to the submission. The citizenship process was not long and was fairly predictable. The manager contacted me every month with a status report. I am now a Bulgarian citizen and the owner of a successfully developing logistics company in Varna.
Elena Aksyutina, 38 years old, Minsk
We are a young family that wanted to give our children the best education and freedom of movement. After a free consultation with Europeentry, we decided to apply for Romanian citizenship. We were impressed by the well-organised process: detailed consultations, continuous support, clear deadlines, and a personal manager. Thanks to the lawyers’ work, collecting documents did not feel like a quest, as is often the case when dealing with government institutions. In the end, we managed the preparation and submission quickly. The waiting period also did not take long. We now all live together in Lisbon. The children attend the local school and already speak Portuguese like their native language, so my husband and I no longer need interpreters. We are very grateful to Europeentry for giving our family a new start!
Pavel Ivolgin, 31 years old, Tbilisi
I am a freelancer, and freedom of movement was essential for my work. A Romanian passport was the ideal solution. I contacted Europeentry to receive consultation on all matters. All communication took place online, which was extremely convenient for me. The lawyers prepared all the documents flawlessly, including complex requests to state archives to confirm descent. As a result, I completed all stages of immigration without any difficulty and became an EU citizen much faster than through naturalisation. I now travel around Europe, work from different countries, and have finally got rid of visa-related problems.
Tatyana Mariulova, 57 years old, Chișinău
For me, as a person approaching retirement age, obtaining Bulgarian citizenship was a way to be closer to my children who live in Europe. I was afraid that I would not be able to cope with the bureaucracy, but Europeentry reassured and supported me. The entire process was organised with the utmost care for the client. They helped me collect old documents from Moldovan archives and properly prepare all certificates. Many thanks to my manager for patience and detailed explanations at every step. I am now a Bulgarian citizen, living not far from my daughter and having access to advanced European healthcare. Thank you to the company for my calm and happy life close to my family!
Andrey Kupchenko, 48 years old, Saint Petersburg
I contacted this company on the recommendation of a friend who had herself obtained Bulgarian citizenship through them and moved to Europe. She told me how smoothly everything had gone and without any complications, and I understood that I wanted the same. I myself remained calm — I paid and simply waited for the result, while getting on with my own affairs and preparing for the move. When I received the result, I was somewhat shocked, because it came 4 months faster than for my friend. The lawyers do their job well. In the end, I obtained citizenship, and now I have everything I need for the move. No stress, no unnecessary fuss. I recommend them to everyone if you want a result without a headache.
