schooling
Be careful with the property market - better rent a place for the first year. Europe isn't very stable right now, so I personally wouldn't buy any property in Bulgaria at this time. Did you get information about the schools already? Read More
Opening a bank account in Bulgaria
You just need a valid passport or valid ID card in order to open up a bank account. Most international banks have branches in the bigger cities, and every employee is speaking English. If someone needs more help or advise just drop me a message ;) Read More
Mobile phone cost and broadband by WorldExpat
Hello, Does any one know if there is a 3G broadband (SIM card) in Sofia and what is the best cost for a 1 month subscription only? Thank you in advance.
There is no one month subscription only. You can take a prepaid plan, 5EUR for the simcard. 97% of Bulgaria is 3G, jus be sure to buy your card from MTEL or GLOBUL and you wont be having any problems. Read More

blogs, real estates on this website - be careful!
Hi, In the past months this forum is being "hijacked" by numerous posters, who just use it to promote their blogs, offer some "cheap" deals or whatever. I think that's not appropriate. I really like expat.com, but I loose interest to write when I ... Read More

Rip Off Taxi's in Sofia by harry

We are planning to move to Bulgaria soon. Our problem is we need a steady income once we are setteld....We would like to have our own business....anybody have idees on what to start??
