We Believe We Can Contribute and Make a Difference in Bulgaria

ЗаВръщане в България is a resource and community created to make the process of returning to Bulgaria easier for Bulgarians abroad and to inspire all Bulgarians to see the potential of the country, create meaningful things here, and contribute to society.

ЗаВръщане в България is created with the belief that every challenge holds an opportunity.

We see more and more Bulgarians abroad wanting to return, and at the same time, their opportunities to make an impact here and apply their skills gained abroad are growing.

​

We believe these two processes support each other, creating a unique chance for all Bulgarians to help develop our society.

What Do We See?

Bulgaria is a beautiful country with amazing people and huge potential.

​

It's no secret that problems exist in Bulgaria, but there is also hope.

 

Many Bulgarians abroad have questions about returning, and they are already starting to come back and do meaningful things with a passion.

Lack of centralized information:

Many Bulgarians abroad have questions about returning but can't find reliable and comprehensive information.

A need for an active & supportive community that sees Bulgaria's potential

More and more Bulgarians are returning and looking for communities where they can share ideas and work together.

A need for creative minds

Bulgaria faces challenges in areas like infrastructure, business, education, and healthcare that need innovative solutions from motivated and creative people.

This is where ЗаВръщане в България comes in

We want to make it easier for Bulgarians abroad to return and inspire all Bulgarians to contribute to and develop Bulgarian society.

To make the move to Bulgaria easier

We are working to be the go-to place for how things work in Bulgaria. Here we will provide comprehensive information and resources for people moving to Bulgaria, covering everything from administrative issues to cultural adaptation. We want to help people integrate and contribute to society.

To build active communities
across Bulgaria

We are creating strong and supportive communities where newcomers can connect with locals and find like-minded people, share ideas, and work on projects that help local development.

To create opportunities for civic action & open discussions about solutions for societal issues

We are gathering a diverse group of people with different experiences and perspectives to create solutions to problems in areas like infrastructure, education, healthcare, culture, and the economy at the local municipal level across Bulgaria.

After five years in Berlin, Stoyan asked himself why he was still there. With a business he could run from anywhere, he compared five cities on everything from friendships to living costs.
