The platform will enable people arriving in Bulgaria as tourists to submit documents digitally and pay for the service online,” Deputy Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova stated at a hearing at the parliamentary tourism committee. The possibility of making the entire process digital is limited, she added, as quoted by the Bulgarian news agency BTA.
