Bulgaria Accessed Without Visa by Emiratis

At the end of May it became clear that the Emiratis will be given access without visas to several countries, among which being Bulgaria. The decision was made by the European Union and thus Emiratis will now have access to the Schengen zone. This means that people from the UAE will have access to the European property market and potential investments. The currency advantage is on the side of Emirates and this makes the investment in European properties and businesses even more appealing.

This move of the European Union to allow residents of UAE to invest with no visa restrictions in countries from the Schengen Zone is very important. In fact the UAE is the first country that is granted free entry to the passport free area. Thanks to the new offer the Emiratis will have visa-free access to 26 countries in the Schengen zone and eight countries that are not yet members of the Schengen agreement, including Bulgaria and Romania, Cyprus and Croatia, Andorra and San Marino, Monaco and the Vatican. The free entry to the Schengen zone is for 90 days in any 180 day period. Naturally, Emirates has welcomed the agreement as this will save a lot of money and time to the travelers.
