The Bulgarian government has approved a plan for the implementation of the agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.  

A backup plan of action has also been approved in the event of a no-deal Brexit. In the words of Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva the plan approved, which covers every sphere of public life, aims to restrict the negative consequences of Brexit. In any possible scenario this country will guarantee a maximum of continuity and consistency with regard to the rights of citizens and Bulgarian businesses. In view of the current state of play of the process Bulgaria is getting ready for a no-deal withdrawal.

Minister Zaharieva reiterated that Bulgarians will be able to enter the UK visa-free for short stays of up to 90 days. Bulgarians living in the UK on 29 March, 2019 will be able to apply for settled status under a simplified procedure.
