Bulgaria — Application for Issuance of a National Visa, Type "D"

The Ministerstvo na vanshnite raboti's (MVnR, Bulgaria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs) "Заявление за издаване на национална виза (тип „D”)" (Application for Issuance of a National Visa, Type "D") — the long-stay national visa application form a third-country national files (in person or via an authorized proxy) at a Bulgarian diplomatic or consular mission to request a visa authorizing a stay in Bulgaria longer than 90 days (e.g. for employment, family reunification, study, or other long-term purposes), distinct from the short-stay Schengen-area "C" visa. Advances Bulgaria's Visa vertical (2 of 6), following the Taxes vertical opened by NRA's Form ОКД-5 and Обр. 2001 (GOV-2821). The source is distributed as a free, unauthenticated "Безплатен образец" (free specimen) direct PDF download from mfa.bg's own consular-services visa-forms page — a genuine text-layer PDF (no AcroForm widgets on its data-entry pages) closely following the EU-harmonized visa application layout also used by this registry's other national/Schengen visa schemas (e.g. de/auswaertiges-amt, ee/vm). Models the applicant's identification (name, date/place/country of birth, current/former/other nationality, sex, address, contact details), travel-document details, marital status with a conditionally-required spouse/registered-partner identification block, a bounded 4-row children table (the form's own printed table has exactly four blank rows, confirmed by rendering the page), a free-text parental-rights/legal-guardian block for minor applicants, the trip's purpose/dates/planned accommodation, a bounded 3-row previous-Bulgaria-stays table, prior-residence-elsewhere and prior-refusal/conviction/expulsion/notifiable-disease declarations (each with its own printed "if yes, indicate..." follow-up detail field), the funding-source checklist (own means vs. sponsor, each with its own means-of-subsistence sub-checklist), and the signature block. Excludes the form's entire right-hand "Попълва се служебно" (to be completed by the official) column throughout Part I and Part II — the application-number/receipt-date/receiving-officer fields, the supporting-documents-provided checklist, the decision (inadmissible/refused/issued) and validity/entry-count/permitted-days fields are all consular-adjudication-only and not applicant-fillable, mirroring this registry's established consular-only-column exclusion precedent (e.g. rs/mfa, gr/mfa). 108 fields, plus 2 documents[] entries (the applicant photograph and the multi-paragraph data-processing-consent/truthfulness declaration printed above the signature block).

This is GovSchema Standard Research cycle GOV-2830. This schema advances Bulgaria's Visa vertical to 2 of 6, following the Taxes vertical opened in GOV-2821 (NRA's Form ОКД-5, bg/nra/deklaratsiya-za-registratsiya-na-samoosiguryavashto-se-litse, PR #466) and extended in the same cycle (Обр. 2001, bg/nra/godishna-danachna-deklaratsiya-chl-50-zddfl, PR #467).

Jurisdiction/vertical screening this cycle

Per this cycle's brief, DMV and Business Formation were screened first as the likely-strongest remaining candidates, followed by Visa. Both DMV and Business Formation turned out to be genuine dead ends for a first-party, unauthenticated fetch this cycle:

  • DMV (МВР/КАТ vehicle registration). Fetched mvr.bg's own vehicle- registration service page directly (https://mvr.bg/opp/административни-услуги/услуги-по-регистрация-на-пс/извършване-на-първоначална-регистрация-на-превозно-средство — HTTP 200 and real page content at the time of this cycle's own screening fetch, but a later re-fetch during schema authoring (~20 minutes afterward, same session) found this same URL now returns 404 — a genuine Cloudflare-served "Страницата не е намерена" page, re-confirmed with curl -v, not a transient network blip; evidence of mvr.bg's own CMS being reorganized or unstable mid-cycle, disclosed here rather than a fabricated citation). The page's own procedure text, captured at the time of the successful fetch, states plainly: "Заявлението се генерира от информационна система на МВР. Данните са попълнени автоматично. Заявителят само проверява данните и удостоверява с подписа си верността им. Заявителят не е необходимо предварително да попълва заявление." ("The application is generated by MVR's information system. The data is filled in automatically. The applicant only checks the data and certifies its accuracy with their signature. The applicant does not need to fill out an application in advance.") — a system-generated-at-the-counter form, structurally identical to this registry's other MVR/counter-service dead ends (e.g. Bulgaria's own National ID, screened weak in GOV-2821). No downloadable blank form exists for an agent to fill out independently. Not pursued further.
  • Business Formation (Registry Agency / Агенция по вписванията, Commercial Register application forms А1-А13). Fetched portal.registryagency.bg's own document-templates page directly (https://portal.registryagency.bg/document-template-cr, HTTP 200, 28,925 bytes of static HTML). The page's category sections (e.g. "Заявление, влизащо в сила от 30.06.2024 г.", "Б. Заявления за вписване на прокура, клон, залог, запор и ликвидация") each render as an empty <div class="group-items group-items-NNN"></div> in the raw, unauthenticated HTML response — the actual template file links are populated client-side by JavaScript after page load (confirmed: no .pdf/.doc/.docx href appears anywhere in the fetched HTML; portal.registryagency.bg's own bundled js.js was also fetched and inspected, and contains no discoverable REST endpoint pattern; three guessed API-style paths were probed directly and all either 404'd or redirected to a generic error page). This is the same portal-shell-with-no-static-attachment pattern GOV-2821 already found for NRA's self-employed-registration lead on nra.bg's own WebSphere Portal. A genuine fetch of the actual A4/etc. template content would require a JavaScript-executing browser, which was not attempted this cycle (logged as a candidate for a future cycle with browser-rendering tooling, rather than falling back to a third-party mirror for a jurisdiction-opening/vertical- advancing schema). Not pursued further this cycle.
  • Visa (МВнР, Ministry of Foreign Affairs) — chosen. Fetched mfa.bg's own "Формуляри за виза" (Visa Forms) consular-services page directly (https://www.mfa.bg/bg/uslugi-patuvania/konsulski-uslugi/patuvane-bulgaria/formuliari-viza), which lists both the short-stay Schengen "C" visa specimen and the national long-stay "D" visa application, each as a direct PDF download in multiple languages, explicitly marked "Безплатен образец" (free specimen). The "D" visa application (this schema's source) was chosen over the "C" visa specimen because it is Bulgaria's own national long-stay instrument (not an EU-harmonized form shared verbatim across all Schengen states, several of which this registry already models — e.g. de/auswaertiges-amt, ee/vm, at/bmeia), making it the more distinctive and valuable addition. Confirmed a genuine, unauthenticated, first-party, plain-text-layer PDF (no CAPTCHA/WAF/login gate) — see Source verification below.

Source verification (independently fetched this cycle)

  • Source page: https://www.mfa.bg/bg/uslugi-patuvania/konsulski-uslugi/patuvane-bulgaria/formuliari-viza ("Формуляри за виза") — lists the Bulgarian-language "Type D" national visa application as Заявление за виза за дългосрочно пребиваване тип D-BG.pdf, alongside English/Russian/French/Turkish editions of the same form and the separate Schengen "C" visa specimen.
  • Fetched file: https://www.mfa.bg/upload/137205/%D0%97%D0%B0%D1%8F%D0%B2%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5%20%D0%B7%D0%B0%20%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0%20%D0%B7%D0%B0%20%D0%B4%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%BE%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5%20%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BF%20D-BG.pdf (percent-encoded form of "Заявление за виза за дългосрочно пребиваване тип D-BG.pdf"; this schema's source.url).
    • HTTP 200, Content-Type: application/pdf, 144,794 bytes (matches the Content-Disposition header's own size=144794).
    • sha256: 427738994b1e3a87ff1d6fa35d1ef8ad2678464d70bb70ac922eb794cfcff932.
    • Last-Modified: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 07:56:22 GMT.
    • 4 pages. Confirmed via pdfjs-dist@3 (legacy build, Node.js): a genuine text-layer PDF, not a scanned image — every label, checkbox glyph (□), and table cell extracts as a discrete text-positioned item. Zero AcroForm Widget annotations on pages 1-3; page 4 carries 2 annotation entries that are plain (non-form) link/markup annotations, not fillable widgets.
    • All 4 pages independently rendered to PNG at 2x scale via pdfjs-dist + node-canvas (standardFontDataUrl supplied) and visually cross-checked against the text-layer transcript — this confirmed the exact printed row counts for the two tabular sections (item 19's children table: exactly 4 blank rows; item 23's previous-stays table: exactly 3 numbered rows), and confirmed the entire right-hand "Попълва се служебно" (to be completed by the official) column on pages 1-2 is consular-adjudication-only (receipt date/application number/receiving officer, supporting-documents-provided checklist, decision, validity, entry count, permitted days) — none of it applicant-fillable.

Extraction method

Text-layer extraction via pdfjs-dist@3 (legacy build), reusing this registry's established Node.js + pdfjs-dist render/extract technique (see e.g. gh/gis, jo/cspd, rs/mfa prior cycles). No AcroForm widget correlation was needed (this source has none, unlike a fillable-PDF AcroForm specimen) — field boundaries were instead read directly off the printed numbered items (1-36) and table headers, cross-checked against the page renders described above.

Field derivation, by form part

  • Part I — Данни за кандидата (applicant data, items 1-10). Name (surname, former surname(s), given names), date/place/country of birth, current nationality with two optional adjoining columns ("nationality at birth, if different" and "other nationality"), previous nationalities (free text, "if the answer is positive, please state the dates and grounds for acquisition/loss"), sex, and residence address with adjoining email/phone sub-fields.
  • Part II — Документ за пътуване (travel document, items 11-16). An enumerated document-type field (ordinary/diplomatic/service/official/special passport, or other with its own detail field), document number, dates of issue/expiry, issuing country, and an optional national ID number.
  • Part III — Семейно положение (marital status, items 17-20). An enumerated marital-status field (with an "other, specify" detail field); a spouse/registered-partner identification block, requiredWhen maritalStatus is married or registered partnership for its five core identity fields (former surname and previous nationality kept as unconditionally-optional visibleWhen companions, per this registry's de/auswaertiges-amt precedent for supplementary-but-not-mandatory conditional fields); a children table modeled as a bounded 4-row repeating group (child1...child4, each with family name, given names, a combined date-and-place-of-birth field matching the source's own single printed column, nationality, and address) — the exact row count (4) was confirmed by rendering the page, not guessed; and a single free-text parental-rights/ legal-guardian field for minor applicants (the source prints no boolean toggle tying this to an explicit age condition, so it is left unconditionally optional rather than an invented requiredWhen gate).
  • Part IV — Цел на пътуването (purpose of travel, items 21-36). An enumerated purpose field (work/family reunification/cultural activity/ sport/medical reasons/study/retiree/other, with its own "other" detail field); planned arrival date; a previous-Bulgaria-stays boolean gating a bounded 3-row table (previousStay1...previousStay3 — row 1's three sub-fields requiredWhen the boolean is true, rows 2-3 kept as optional visibleWhen companions, since the source's own three numbered rows are an upper bound, not a mandate to fill all three); a residence-elsewhere boolean gating permit number/validity/residence-period detail fields; planned stay dates; intended place of stay; an intends-to-live-outside-Bulgaria boolean and a family-members-traveling-together boolean, each gating its own "please specify" detail field per the form's own printed instruction; current profession and employer/inviting-organization/school details; free-text additional-purpose information; and four Yes/No declarations (prior refusal/prior conviction/prior expulsion/notifiable disease), each gating its own "if yes, indicate the period and reason" (or equivalent) detail field per the form's own printed instruction. Item 36 (funding sources) is modeled as two parallel checkbox groups — applicant's own means (with a means-of-subsistence sub-checklist: cash, traveller's cheques, credit card, prepaid accommodation, prepaid transport, other-with-detail) and sponsor funding (with its own sub-checklist: cash, accommodation provided, all costs covered, prepaid transport, other-with-detail, plus a dedicated boolean for funding by the entity already named in item 30) — none of these checkboxes are mutually exclusive on the source, so none are modeled as an enum.
  • Signature block. Place and date; the applicant's signature (name standing in for a physical signature, per this registry's ro/anaf/ ro/dgpci/bg/nra precedent); an optional guardian/legal-representative signature line for minor applicants (left unconditionally optional, mirroring the guardianDetails field above).

108 fields[] entries in total, plus 2 documents[] entries: the applicant photograph (the "СНИМКА" box on page 1) and the multi-paragraph data- processing-consent/truthfulness declaration printed immediately above the signature block on page 4 (the criminal/administrative-liability and visa-fee-non-refundable warnings, and the NVIS data-retention notice).

Scoping and modeling judgment calls

  • Excludes the entire "Попълва се служебно" column. Every field in the right-hand consular-only column on pages 1-2 (application receipt date and number, receiving officer's name/signature, the supporting-documents- provided checklist, the decision — inadmissible/refused/issued — and its validity/entry-count/permitted-days fields) is consular-adjudication-only, never filled in by the applicant. Excluded entirely, consistent with this registry's rs/mfa/gr/mfa consular-only-column precedent.
  • Children table bounded to 4 rows, previous-stays table bounded to 3 rows — both counts confirmed by rendering, not guessed. Consistent with this registry's established bounded-repeating-group convention (e.g. ng/nis's child1...child4) for a printed table with a fixed number of blank rows, rather than modeling an unbounded list type this spec line does not support.
  • No invented requiredWhen gates beyond what the form itself prints. The parental-rights/legal-guardian field (item 20) and the corresponding guardian signature line have no printed boolean toggle tying them to an explicit age condition (the source only carries a parenthetical "(for underage persons)"), so both are modeled as unconditionally optional rather than gated on a fabricated isMinor field that does not exist on the form.
  • Funding-source checkboxes modeled as independent booleans, not an enum. The source's own item 36 layout allows checking any combination of applicant-funded and sponsor-funded boxes (e.g. partial self-funding plus a sponsor covering accommodation), so none of fundedByApplicant/ fundedBySponsor/fundedByOtherEntity/fundedByEntityInField30 or their respective means-of-subsistence sub-checklists are modeled as mutually exclusive.
  • travelDocumentType/maritalStatus/purposeOfTravel enum values kept in English, consistent with this registry's cross-jurisdiction enum-value convention (native-language text lives in each field's label); the enumerated options themselves are a direct, complete transcription of the form's own printed checkbox list for each item.
  • No edition axis. This is a standing national-visa application form, not a dated annual filing; consistent with this registry's convention for non-time-versioned application forms.

Conformance run

No PDF/AcroForm widget-count cross-check applies (see Source verification — this source has zero fillable Widget annotations). In its place, two hand-authored mock instances were built and checked against schema.json's own required/requiredWhen/validation.enum/validation.maxLength grammar with a disposable, from-scratch Python checker (not committed, per this registry's own established practice of not committing one-off verification scripts):

  • single-applicant-basic — an unmarried applicant with no children, no prior Bulgaria stay, no residence in a third country, self-funded via cash, filing for work. 33 of 108 fields populated. PASS.
  • married-with-family-and-sponsor — a married applicant filing through a spouse's employment sponsor, exercising the full spouse-identification block, both children (a bounded 2-of-4 use of the children table), one prior refusal (Germany, 2016), a residence-elsewhere declaration, two prior Bulgaria stays (a bounded 2-of-3 use of the previous-stays table), an "other" travel-document type with its own detail field, and full sponsor- funding detail. 77 of 108 fields populated. PASS.

Four mutation-control checks confirmed the checker actually enforces the gates rather than passing vacuously: dropping travelDocumentNumber from the first instance (unconditionally required — correctly flagged missing); dropping spouseFamilyName from the second instance while maritalStatus stayed married (conditionally required — correctly flagged missing); setting sex to an out-of-enum value (correctly flagged as an enum violation); and setting previouslyStayedInBulgaria to true on the first instance without adding the corresponding previousStay1From/To/Place fields (correctly flagged all three as missing). Each mutation raised exactly its one expected error.

tools/node_modules did not exist in this worktree at the start of this cycle; npm ci --include=dev installed ajv/ajv-formats cleanly with no wipe. pdfjs-dist/canvas were reused from a pre-existing scratch installation at /tmp/pdfscratch (outside the repo, left over from a prior cycle's own verification work) rather than installed fresh inside tools/, so this cycle's own extraction tooling could not collide with tools/'s committed dependency set at all.

tools/govschema-client/registry-index.json was regenerated via npm run build-index inside tools/govschema-client/ — see the diff in this PR for the updated jurisdiction/document counts.

Scope and jurisdiction notes

  • Advances Bulgaria's Visa vertical to 2 of 6 (the vertical did not exist before this cycle; GOV-2821 opened Bulgaria via Taxes only). DMV and Business Formation were screened and found to be genuine dead ends this cycle (see above); Passport and National ID (both likely МВР, and National ID already spot-checked weak in GOV-2821) remain open, unscreened Bulgaria backlog candidates.
  • jurisdiction.level is national — MVnR is Bulgaria's national foreign ministry and sole issuer of Bulgarian visas.
  • process.type is application, matching this registry's convention for visa application forms (e.g. de/auswaertiges-amt, ee/vm, rs/mfa).
  • process.language is bg: the modeled edition is the Bulgarian-language specimen. English/Russian/French/Turkish editions of the same form are published on the same source page but not modeled by this v1.0.0.

Re-verification

Per the practice's cadence, nextReviewBy is set to 2027-01-14 (6 months). A future review should prioritize: (1) confirming the source PDF's Last-Modified date (2025-01-14) has not been superseded by a newer edition; (2) re-attempting Business Formation (Registry Agency's А1-А13 Commercial Register application templates) with a JavaScript-executing browser, since this cycle's static-HTML fetch could not reach the actual template files; (3) whether Bulgaria's remaining unscreened verticals (Passport, National ID) should be scouted; (4) whether the Schengen "C" visa specimen also hosted on this same MVnR source page is worth a companion schema, given several other jurisdictions' Schengen-harmonized visa forms are already modeled elsewhere in this registry.
