What documents are needed to cross the border?
I'm going in September by bus (regular) from Odessa to Varna with 2 children. Please tell me if anyone knows:
1. What documents are needed to transport children? 1 child is my niece.
2. Do documents need to be translated into English (or some other language) and notarized?
3. What documents do I actually need? International passport with a Bulgarian visa, insurance, round-trip bus tickets. It's enough? Do I need a Ukrainian passport? Hotel reservation (so far I have booked only for 12 days out of 24, I want to look after the rest on the spot)?
Thanks.

You need a Bulgarian visa. Therefore, go to the website of the Bulgarian embassy, ​​look there what documents are needed for you and your children, prepare them according to the list, and then just think about the trip. And tell someone (suddenly they will answer incorrectly) what you say, when you are wrapped at the border??

For a niece, you need the consent of both parents, for your child, if the father is not traveling, you also need a consent certified by a notary. The visa must be open for as many days as you will be in Bulgaria.

Thanks poola. I wanted to know if you need copies of Ukrainian parents' passports, do you need to translate-certify something? Birth certificate of the child, original, copy?
аватар irina_1901
This is what I don't know. And you call your own agency, they will tell you for sure.

Is it really problematic to go to the website of the Bulgarian embassy and clearly find out what you need? And not through some kind of TA, where they can make a mistake and all your attempts will go to waste. After all, the original source is much better than any comments)))
аватар sigur62
Exactly. I will only add that if you have a Schengen visa, you do not need a Bulgarian one. And "calling TA" is a thankless task, it's true.
аватар Tanya1095
Those. at the embassy they can tell me not only what documents they need to apply for a visa, but also documents for crossing the border? I did not know that. ))))
Although somewhat strange, does no one travel on their own and with children to Bulgaria?

You also need to clarify not only how, with whom and with what you can get to Bulgaria, but the same for Moldova and Romania!!!
These countries are your transit countries and therefore, you must fulfill all the formal requirements of these countries too. Well, I think you yourself know about Pridnestrovie and Moldova, and Romania-Bulgaria is better to check with the relevant consulates on the site. This information is!

Without visas, you will not pass borders and you don’t need to talk at the embassy, ​​there’s just an embassy website, which will have a section - obtaining a visa, and it contains the necessary documents for this. The same needs to be done with other countries, find out - visa-free travel borders with them (Moldova), or visas are also required there (Romania), or you can travel with a Bulgarian visa if they are in the European Union and they have a simplified pass at the border. All this must be clarified on the websites of the relevant embassies. Otherwise, you can buy everything and return from the first border.

alex45, I will get a visa. This is all clear. This is not the question. And what documents are needed to cross the border. What do they ask at the border itself. Has anyone traveled with children?
аватар irina_1901
A family with children was traveling with us on the train. They presented a passport with a visa, like everyone else, and also a notarized permission from their father. In what language, I don't know. I just don’t understand how they will open a visa for you for 24 days if you have confirmation for only 12? You can't do without it.
аватар Tanya1095
I will open a visa through a travel agency. And they don't care where I live and for how long.)))
аватар Tanya1095
Poola, I thought they open a visa for everyone for at least 30 days. Or not?
аватар irina_1901
In Minsk, we open a visa according to the documents, i.e. booking confirmation and for the period booked. Hardly anywhere else.
аватар Tanya1095
Poola, a lot of documents are needed if I open a visa on my own. Through a travel agency, everything is much easier. Therefore, I will open through them. I'm waiting for a travel document for my niece.
аватар hatinka
If you open a visa through an agency, then why are you asking on the forum about what the company should do? I don’t know exactly what documents are needed for a child, especially not one of my own, but when you receive a Bulgarian visa, you will receive a “yes” to transport these children or you will not receive a visa. But what if Romania has tougher requirements? Then they will let you into Bulgaria, but not into Romania. Do you understand? Check with your company and the consulate of Romania all this!

We do not need a visa to Romania, only Bulgarian.

permission to export a child (if a minor) from both parents certified by a notary. travel document for children (ask in the passport) Bulgarian visas .... it is not difficult to get a cost of 35 euros done in 5 days ... if you live in Donetsk on Goryachkina street On the 26th, in the summer season, a Bulgarian diplomat arrives and talk to you there they will tell you everything (this is for Amstor along Ilyich) Were that year we traveled under our own power a visa for a month ...

We do not need a visa to Romania, only Bulgarian.
I'm not talking about a visa. I'm talking about children. An abstract example: you can import 10 liters of alcohol into Bulgaria. To Romania - 5l. When entering Romania, you either drive further with 5 liters or don't drive at all. In total, you have 5 liters of alcohol, despite the fact that you can bring in 10. And if everything is simple with alcohol, you can buy 5 liters in Romania, then it’s not so with children)))
If suddenly Romania has different documents for the entry of a child or some other registration than the Bulgarians. You need to be sure. And for this, it is imperative to check with the consulates of all transit countries about the necessary documents for crossing borders. Not on the forum. IMHO

We do not need a visa for Romania
A very strong statement. Not needed at all, or is that what you call transit through Romania with a valid Bulgarian visa?
аватар irina_1901
I mean transit visa. They used to do it, but now, 3 years already, it’s not necessary. We always travel with the agency, give them passports, photos, money for visas and do not know worries. We pick up everything ready in 10 days and go.
аватар alex45
And why are we breaking pots here if a person opens visas through TA? Go to TA, sit on their neck and don’t get off until everyone specifically chews on you, it is desirable that they repeat everything a couple of times. Then, you will appear, in in which case, extreme.
After all, I wrote that the primary source is the website of the Bulgarian embassy or consulate, all other comments are secondary. And the documents are needed the same, that for TA or on your own you get visas (in one volume).
Therefore, in my opinion, you didn’t look at the site recommended to you, or there are nuances that you don’t want to mention. It’s easier to ask than to look for yourself)))

thanks ddr577.
alex45, I asked about someone else's experience. Sometimes it's more significant.
Where else to ask, I will definitely ask. I wanted real answers. Has anyone traveled with children? I think this is what this forum is for.
I don't need the last one. I'm interested in what others are asking.
аватар Tanya1095
I called the Bulgarian consulate in Donetsk. the answer is somewhat strange. Anyway. They said that I can not book a room and go on my own. Only or by invitation or through a travel agency. 2) Regarding the documents, they said that only permission from the parents, salary, insurance is needed. For a birth certificate, she clarified herself. They didn’t say anything at all for round-trip tickets. They said nothing needed to be translated into English.
аватар irina_1901
Tanya, confirmation of the reservation is the invitation (the hosts must send). Then ask them for a month, and then you'll figure it out. Our visa is also valid even for 3 months, and the number of days in Bulgaria is written in another line, according to hotel reservations.
аватар Tanya1095
Poola, that's just the point, that is not present. I checked with the consulate. They said that the hotel reservation does not work. I don't know why. Or a ticket from a travel agency or an invitation from a private person. But I will do a visa through a travel agency, so it’s not very important for me. Simply, to be honest, there was an impression that they themselves do not really know what is needed. Especially when crossing the border. By the way, regarding the certificate of salary from work, they also said that it was not necessary.
аватар ddr577
we were in September ..on our own ..we had confirmation of reservations ..we don’t rest in a hotel but at a friend’s apartment ..we got visas without problems, only we made honey insurance ourselves for 75 hryvnia per month ..we flew to Bulgaria by charter ..we stayed a month .. traveled half the country by car .. returned by train from Sofia ... at the entrance to Bulgaria, no one demanded anything other than Bulgarian visas ..
аватар sigur62
They said that the hotel reservation does not roll. (C)
Some nonsense. The whole world travels by booking hotels. Who do you talk to on the phone with, maybe it's the guard picking up the phone or the cleaning lady?
аватар Tanya1095
Didn't introduce themselves. So I don't know who I was talking to. They didn't introduce themselves at the embassy either.
