Bulgaria

Should you need to obtain a replacement passport

The British Embassy in Sofia will not issue full passports. 

Before setting off on your travels to Bulgaria, you should ensure that your passport has sufficient validity and a plentiful supply of unused pages. 

Applications for new passports are accepted in Sofia and will be  forwarded to the British Embassy in Vienna for processing.  This can take up to six weeks. 

should a courier is used, the cost will be borne by the applicant. 

Should you lose your passport, and need to return to the UK within the six week period, the British Embassy can issue a temporary/emergency passport to enable you to do so.   

Note: You should keep a photocopy of your passport with you at all times as proof of identity.
