This is a form of temporary employment that allows the employer to secure the necessary workforce for a peak period of the year without long-term commitment to the workers. It is most practical for the Tourism and Agriculture sectors. The major advantage of this type of employment is that the time required for preparing documents and obtaining a work permit and visa is significantly shorter compared to others.

The EU Blue Card is a residence and work permit issued by the Ministry of Interior (MoI) to citizens of third countries. It is granted for a period of up to 5 years and a minimum of 24 months. The Blue Card is a unique opportunity for highly skilled specialists who wish to develop their careers in Bulgaria, and it allows employers to go beyond the labor market of Bulgaria and Europe.

This type of employment requires the signing of a labor contract with a minimum duration of one year and a maximum of three years. During this process, the employee receives a work permit and a residence card for the Republic of Bulgaria for the period they have an active labor contract, but no more than three years. Upon expiration, and with mutual agreement from both parties, the contract and the employee's stay can be extended.
