BULGARIA: Country's government mandates COVID-19 testing for international arrivals
The country's government has announced that all international tourists travelling to Bulgaria will now have to present a negative COVID-19 test result on arrival, in an effort by the country to curb the spread of new COVID-19 variants; the negative result must have been obtained from a test taken a maximum of 72 hours prior to arrival. In addition, other new entry requirements are in effect from 29 January to 30 April; Bulgarian citizens or legal residents crossing the border without COVID-19 test results must self-isolate for ten days. However, these new requirements do not apply to transit passengers, bus and truck drivers, crews of ships and aircraft.
