Bulgarian Embassy in The Hague

Dutch citizens need no visa for Bulgaria: under European free movement rules they can travel, live and work there with a valid passport or national ID card.

2025 figures: 2 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Bulgaria’s embassy in The Hague, and 1 visas were issued. Applications fell by 80% compared with 2024 (10).

Across all Schengen consulates in the Netherlands, 12.5% of applications were refused in 2025; Bulgaria’s rate worldwide was 12.5%. Bulgaria received the 4th largest number of applications of the 8 Schengen states represented here.

Bulgaria only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of the Netherlands.

The Bulgarian embassy in The Hague is the only mission of Bulgaria in the Netherlands on record. The Netherlands in turn has an embassy in Sofia.
