Bulgarian Passport is an international travel document issued to Bulgarian nationals, and may also serve as evidence of Bulgarian citizenship. In addition to allowing carriers to travel internationally and serve as an indication of Bulgarian citizenship, the passport facilitates the process of obtaining assistance from Bulgarian consular officials overseas or other EU member states in the event that Bulgarian consular does not exist, if required.
According to the 2016 Visa Restriction Index, Bulgarian nationals can visit 154 countries without a visa or with a visa granted upon arrival. Bulgarian nationals may live and work in any country within the European Union as a result of the right to freedom of movement and residence provided in Article 21 of the EU Treaty.
Every citizen of Bulgaria is also a citizen of the European Union. Passports, together with national identity cards allow the right of free movement and residence in one of the states of the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland
