Assistance to a Family from Bursa with Immigration to Bulgaria

The Aksu family from Bursa approached us — the couple wanted to obtain Bulgarian citizenship to secure European opportunities for their children. Their son and daughter were teenagers, and they were soon to apply for universities. The parents dreamed of providing their children with prestigious educational opportunities in Europe.

We suggested that the husband and wife fill out questionnaires with general information about themselves and their ancestry — the analysis of the information allowed us to determine the most effective strategy. There were grounds for the simplified procedure for obtaining Bulgarian citizenship, but the document set was incomplete, so the immigration process began with archival searches.

The company’s specialists sent official requests to state archives in several countries, found the necessary materials, and restored them. Then, our team helped the primary applicant form the dossier — the children were eligible to apply for citizenship after him. All documents were translated into Bulgarian, notarized, and apostilled. The final legal check confirmed that the dossier was complete and properly prepared.

We scheduled the submission date for the application at the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice and organized the registration of the application with the accompaniment of our attorney. We then awaited the authorities’ decision on the application. After the decree granting citizenship was issued, we helped the primary applicant obtain the necessary internal documents. Our lawyers also facilitated the process of obtaining second passports for the client’s children. For the wife, a separate strategy was devised through family reunification. Today, the Aksu family uses their Bulgarian citizenship for frequent trips to Europe and plans to relocate to Austria in the future.
