Hi Jerry, Yes, it is possible for Russian citizens to apply for a Bulgarian visa. Your granddaughter would generally need to apply for a short-stay visa (type C) at a Bulgarian consulate or embassy in her country of residence. The required documents usually include a completed application form, a passport, travel insurance, proof of accommodation (like an invitation letter from you), and financial means for the stay. Processing times and requirements can vary depending on where she applies, so it’s best for her to check with the nearest Bulgarian consulate or embassy well in advance. Since she’s planning to visit next summer, I’d recommend starting the process a few months early to avoid any delays. Contact details of the embassy can be found here: https://visa-to-travel.com/embassy-and-consulate/worldwide Hope this helps, and wishing you a wonderful family reunion!
