Bulgarian nationality law is governed by the Constitution of Bulgaria (article 25 and 26) of 1991 and the citizenship law of 1999 (with changes made in various years through to 2009).

It is mainly based on jus sanguinis; however it is possible to obtain citizenship after 5 years of residence in Bulgaria. Every Bulgarian citizen is also a citizen of the European Union.

Naturalisation is available on the basis of residence in certain types of status; marriage or on the basis of origin or at the discretion of the government of Bulgaria to persons of merit.
