If you are not travelling with a TO then apparently you register yourself at the local police station.
you get a little white card from your hotel upon checking out

apparently you cant leave the country without it
We still have ours, no one takes them off you at the airport,or even asks to see them.....
Sorry Sheldon, but I think you meant no-one took yours. I can assure you that mine have been collected from me every time I have left the country, and thats about 25 times. Please do not be complacent about this if you haven't got it you can have mega problems.
same here,ive always had ours took off us at depature
Do they just give them to you,or do you have to ask for them
It's just a white piece of paper, that normally the border guard takes out of your passport when he inspects your documents at the airport.
Nothing to worry about.

If we hadn't had them, you can bet that we would have been required to present them or face a significant fine!

What he did take off me though, was 2 £1 coins, they kept setting off the alarm, so he said. Thats 2 years on the trot where theyve had all my coinage, whether it be stinkies or english coins.
These registration documents that you are talking about are obsolete now(or so I was told).When i asked for them at reception when we left, was told you dont need them now,and nobody at customs asked for them.
Hmmm. We've booked a villa privately over the net. I'll email the villa owner to ask him about whether you still need these registration papers.

I was caught like that the first time I came out of Bourgas - the border guard had the nerve to wink and say "Police Tax...."
i gave them to the check in girl along with our passports but i still have them inside the pass ports.
she looked at them but never took them off us
after all the fuss to get thr reg docs they werent even looked at at the airport .we still have them in our passports. but i think its best to have them and very foolish not to
Apparently from Januay 1st 2006 they'll become obsolete. Instead we'll be asked to fill a form out on the plane giving our address to be handed over with our passport at customs. That's 5 leva per person saved . Till then I guess you'll have to continue to register with the local tourist office (If in Sunny Beach). If staying at an hotel or B&B they'll do it for you. I've been there about 20 times with both Sofia and Burgas airports having never asked for them.
what was the 5 lev for
In Sunny Beach that's the charge per passport for issuing the reg docs. Probably a standard charge throughout BG.
ours were put in our passports by the hotel staff.
who do you pay the 5 lev to
