I currently live in Texas and am looking to retire in Bulgaria by next year. Can someone tell me the complete process and what I need to start early to get it done. I have read about a D Visa and that we will have to do an interview, do we have to go to the embassy to get that done? We have read that there is a high rate of Heart worms for animals over there, do they treat for them or do we need to get it shipped from the U.S.? Are most of the Realtors online trust worthy? Has anyone shipped their house hold good there and if so was it expensive?
