CTrustGlobal and Dr. Aly El Dakroury Applaud Bulgaria’s Historic Milestone

As of January 1, 2025, Bulgaria has officially achieved full membership in the Schengen Area, a move that signifies a historic moment in European integration. This milestone not only reflects Bulgaria’s commitment to strengthening its place within the European Union but also opens unparalleled opportunities for individuals and businesses seeking greater freedom, mobility, and connectivity.

What Does Schengen Membership Mean for Bulgaria?

With this achievement, Bulgaria joins one of the most coveted zones of free movement in the world. Schengen membership allows individuals residing in member states to cross borders freely without passport checks, revolutionizing the travel experience. For non-EU nationals holding Schengen visas, this means visa-free access to all Schengen countries, including Bulgaria and Romania, for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

This expansion is not just about geographical mobility—it’s about fostering economic growth, boosting tourism, and enabling seamless collaboration across borders. Bulgaria’s Schengen membership cements its position as a vital player in Europe’s interconnected economic and social landscape.
