To all citizens of the Republic of Northern Macedonia from January 20 they are allowed to enter Bulgaria by submitting a valid vaccination certificate against KOVID 19 or a disease certificate, together with a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours. For entry of minors from 12 to 18 years, a negative PCR test is also mandatory, informs the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that after the intensive communication between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the two countries, the competent institutions of the Republic of Bulgaria have made a new decision for our citizens to enter Bulgaria. Due to the deteriorating epidemiological situation, Northern Macedonia continues to be in the so-called Red zone, but the latest decision removes entry restrictions for non-essential needs.

The latest decision by the Bulgarian authorities will take effect on January 20th (Thursday).
