Employment and entrepreneur visa requirements

For Bulgarian visa applications in Russia, the employment certificate must be an original document. For workbooks (trudovaya knizhka) and pension IDs, submit photocopies (bring originals for verification only). Bank statements with digital signatures (e.g., from T-Bank) are officially accepted in printed electronic format.

Explains how to fill out the 'employer' section in a visa application when working under a Civil Law Contract (GPD). It advises to list 'Contractor', 'Freelancer', or 'Consultant' as the position and the name of the contracting company as the employer. It also mentions attaching supporting documents like a 2-NDFL certificate (if applicable) and emphasizes that consulates focus on income stability and clarity of the source rather than the contract type itself.

Required documents for an individual entrepreneur (IP) applying for a visa: 1. Extract from EGRIP. 2. Certificate of tax registration. 3. Certificate of pension fund registration. 4. Electronic work book extract (10-year history). 5. Bank turnover report for the last 6 months. 6. Proof of pension fund contributions. Most documents can be printed via the Gosuslugi portal.

For a Bulgarian work visa application, providing two documents confirming employment is acceptable: one detailing position, salary, and employment duration, and a separate document showing monthly income for the past six months (similar to a 2-NDFL form).
