Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of the 1990s, the Republic of Bulgaria has been a country of emigration. Along this major trend, there also is a tendency of modestly rising immigration, especially after becoming a member of the European Union (EU), as the country is attractive to foreigners with its affordable education, good environment for starting businesses and professional development (e.g. cheaper labour, a lower flat tax compared to other European Union countries), wonderful nature and good quality of life. Nevertheless, even after becoming a European Union (EU) member, the number of foreigners has always been around 1% of the population (Ivanova 2018).
