I'm a bit confused your profile says "Australian expat", so it would be pointless to register as an EU citizen.

Hi Ramses,

I am indeed an Australian expat. However my husband is an EU citizen...

Do you have anything that can help with the question?

:-)

Ah okee聽 now I understand

And no I can't help you, my own country has his own guidelines on this subject.

Hi laurabell,聽 I am unable to answer your question as I am a family member of a Bulgarian citizen.聽 However, first you do not get a lichna carta.聽 The lichna carta is what Bulgarian citizens have as their ID card.聽 What foreigners get wether EU citizens or family members is a residence permit.聽 The term of which can vary from 1 to 5 years.聽 the ideal information site for you is the official Bulgarian Government site聽 here:https://mvr.bg/gabrovo/邪写屑懈薪懈褋褌褉邪褌懈胁薪懈-褍褋谢褍谐懈/邪写屑懈薪懈褋褌褉邪褌懈胁薪懈-褍褋谢褍谐懈-蟹邪-谐褉邪卸写邪薪懈/谐褉褍锌邪-屑懈谐褉邪褑懈褟---芯写屑胁褉-谐邪斜褉芯胁芯/褉邪蟹褉械褕械薪懈褟-蟹邪-锌褉械斜懈胁邪胁邪薪械/long-term-and-permanent-residence-in-bulgaria-for-eu-citizens-and-their-fam.聽 look at the pdf for :- Non EU citizen family member of an EU citizen.聽 Hope this helps.聽 My wife says that she believes the time frames for issue of permits depends on the location of your permit office.

After looking at the PDF.聽 you will need a marriage certificate translated into Bulgarian and your Husbands residence permit along with your other documents you mention

Uhhh, you can get a lichna card. EU can opt to get only a residence permit or residence permit and lichna card. Non-EU must get a card.

kojidae, maybe you could follow the link in my post and then tell me if you can get a Lichna Carta and residence card, because if you have a Lichna Carta you do not need a residence card.聽 I have a 5 year residence card with an 谢薪 number.聽 I have been told by authorities that this is not a Lichna Carta and still have to show my passport. For myself to get a Lichna Carta I would have to apply for Bulgarian citizenship, which I can't do yet.聽 聽My wife has her ID card and it states on the top that it is a Lichna Carta, the residence permit paper version or plastic card version does not.
regards

袥懈褔薪邪 泻邪褉褌邪 literally means a card for personal identification.

Every single place that has asked for a lichna card- the hospital, doctor, registering a new address - has accepted my lichna card on its own. (The only place I needed the passport was to get my license because they check the passport against other european countries).

On the ministry's website it calls the card foreigners receive a 谢懈褔薪邪 泻邪褉褌邪 --- it is the term that they officially use.

I gather one is a residence card (for foreigners) and another is a Bulgarian national ID. Both are officially referred to as "Lichna Carta" but the writings on the cards themselves differ. Whereas Bulgarian national ID card is showing the words "lichna carta" in Cyrillic, residence cards (as far as I know) do not feature these words.

faxo, you are absolutely correct the residence card does not have Lichna Carta on it and as far as I know the only Lichna Carta is the Bulgarian Citizens ID card.聽 The residence card is not an ID as such and is merely a permit for foreigners to live in the country.

The residence card (EU) allows you to live and also work in Bulgaria I believe.

The problem is caused by a simple lack of knowledge of Bulgarian 聽 袥懈褔薪邪 泻邪褉褌邪 doesn't mean "Identity Card" it means "personal card".聽 The personal card (ID Card) you get as a Bulgarian citizen is completely different to the one you receive as a foreign resident (Residence Permit), not least because you aren't able to travel abroad using a Residence Permit as an identity card.

And yes, I have heard of people who claim to have travelled outside Bulgaria with a Residence Permit as their sole ID: they're either fibbing or the authorities of the country they travelled through didn't know what they were looking at - but don't try taking an international flight out of Bulgaria without your passport/ID issued by the state of which you are a citizen!
