Migration Directorate

There are two booths assigned for foreigners’ visa applications and it’s obligatory that at least one of them is staffed by someone who doesn’t speak a word of English. These booths are right by the door, the entranceway intersecting the queue which is sandwiched between the information desk and the kiosk where you pay so you need to stand firm to hold your place. In this swirling maelstrom of people, you can hear the same stilted and vapid small talk between new foreign arrivals and the Bulgarian handlers that their employers have assigned to them to help navigate the paperwork.
