By April 30, 2024, 3,604 Bulgarian citizens have declared they own real estate abroad. Their number is smaller than the the number of properties as some have declared that they have more than one. 

For a year, the number of people who filed declarations for owning real estate abroad has increased by nearly 70%. Among the new destinations preferred for buying real estate are the Isle of Man, Mexico, Slovakia, and Slovenia. There are also exotic locations such as the Caribbean island of Aruba, the Antilles and the British Virgin Islands, as well as Egypt, Panama, Indonesia and Ethiopia.
