If you decide that you like Bulgaria and want to live in the country or throughout the year or most of the year, then you can try to get a residence permit (residence permit or "temporary residence"). The easiest residence status is given to pensioners. For citizens, this process is a bit more complicated, but it is also possible.
First you have to collect the necessary set of documents in Bulgaria and in the country where you live to apply for entry visa D. This visa is issued for a period of 6 or 12 months.

For example, an apartment located in Sveti Vlas can be re-registered with only one of the 3 notaries of Nessebar municipality (because Sveti Vlas belongs to this municipality). The property cannot be re-registered anywhere outside Bulgaria!
