Hi Zoe,

It's an exit visa for want of a better name, a small piece of paper the hotel gives you when you check out. It has your name, passport details, name of hotel and dates of stay thereon.

Just make sure you get one when you leave the hotel.

Peter, why are these required ?

why are these required?

Because it is the law, and to avoid a substantial fine if you don't have the document when/if it is required by the border police on exit from Bulgaria - see HERE for more details.

Thanks Baldur, I knew it was the law but did not know the purpose thanks for clearing it up.

Hi,

When we went last year i asked for this document, and was told by the holiday rep that you dont need this form now.
But better check when you're there.

Sometimes I think they make the rules up as they go along!

We got them automatically last year from the hotel receptionist, and still have them because the border guard left them in our passports somewhat unusually I thought at the time.

I agree with Basil, there's only one way - ask your holiday rep, they'll know what the current situation is.

Maybe it varies from airport to airport, after all, as the Bulgarians say with a shrug - "Eta B'lgaria!" (It's Bulgaria!)

Peter

we also were given ours automaticly within our passports on leaving last year.and like peter we still have them in our passports.
