Arrivals from Great Britain, Spain and Cyprus will have to present a valid EU digital certificate of a negative PCR test, or a similar document containing the same data, whether they are vaccinated or not. Arrivals will be subject to a 10-day quarantine which can be lifted after a PCR test performed within 24 hours of arrival. Arrivals from Russia and Portugal are a separate category and are allowed entry into Bulgaria after presenting a valid digital Covid-19 certificate showing a negative result from a test performed up to 72 hours prior to entry into the country.
