Bulgarian citizens and their families arriving from these countries will be allowed to enter Bulgaria provided they present a negative Covid-19 test, whether they are vaccinated or not.

The Ministry of Health is making an exception for the Netherlands.

There are around 10 charter flights from the Netherlands to Bulgaria every week, BGNES reports.
