How can I move to Bulgaria as a digital nomad?

Has the Bulgarian government introduced a digital nomad visa program for acquiring residency, leading to citizenship? If so, what are the requirements, and how long does the process typically take to obtain the residence permit? If not, are there any alternative options available with similar benefits?

Bulgaria offers a freelance entrepreneur program, which is basically the same as the more modern term "digital nomad". In order to qualify, the candidate must obtain permit from the Bulgarian ministry of labor and a visa type D. All residence permits (visas) lead to full citizenship, and the length of time required depends on many factors.
