Bulgaria's Council of Ministers has adopted a decision to open a Consulate of Bulgaria in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with headquarters in the city of Edinburgh and a consular district covering the territories of Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as the counties of Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham and Tyne and Wear in England. The opening of the Bulgarian consulate is justified by the growing number of Bulgarian citizens on the territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

According to Home Office data, as of December 31, 2021, the number of Bulgarian citizens who received the status of permanent residence is 289,700.

In April 2021, Bulgarian citizens in the United Kingdom organized a petition, supported by 800 Bulgarian citizens in Scotland, to open a consulate of the Republic of Bulgaria with headquarters in the city of Edinburgh.

New consulates of Bulgaria have been opened also in Lyon, France, and Dusseldorf, Germany.
