1989-restauración expulsada (cohorte del Proceso de Avivamiento + descendientes)

Ciudadanía en Bulgaria

Elegibilidad
Las personas (y descendientes) del Proceso de Renacimiento de 1984–89 / cohorte de la 'Gran Excursión' de 1989 (310.000 a 322.000 expulsados; ~360.000 inc. familia - un RANGO) vuelven a adquirir la ciudadanía búlgara a través de los caminos EN VIVO de la naturalización de origen чл.15(1)т.1 (descendientes de origen búlgaro, renuncia a residencia/ingresos/idioma/renuncia; prueba de ascendente ≤3er grado según чл.15(2), alcance por definición hasta 4º grado según ВКС №495/2025) o el Capítulo Cuatro permanente чл.26 restauración de una persona liberada (con чл.26(2) exime a las personas de origen búlgaro del requisito de residencia de 3 años; чл.28 para hijos menores). La ventana de restauración de emigrantes expresa §4 ПЗР 1989 (ciudadanos liberados sin solicitud que emigraron a un Türkiye sin acuerdo de emigración) está CAPACITADO (~20.02.2000). La restauración es el Capítulo Cuatro чл.26–28, NUNCA §22–27. Bulgaria tolera la doble nacionalidad (чл.3).
Plazo
Restoration: statutory MoJ proposal term of 6 months (чл.35(1) т.3) from the Council's opinion; origin-naturalization (чл.15): 9-month MoJ proposal term (чл.35(1) т.2, изм. ДВ бр.21/2021). These are the statutory proposal terms, after which the President issues the указ (чл.34/чл.36); real-world end-to-end practice runs materially longer (a non-statutory ~18-month figure circulates from NGO/practitioner sources and reflects backlog, NOT a statutory deadline — чл.35 controls) (BG-EVID-078/153). Origin certificate from ИАБЧ (when separately sought) pronounced within 14 days. As of ЗБГ ДВ бр.61/2025.

Resumen

BG-HIS-02 е сигнатурният кохортен маршрут за лицата, засегнати от Възродителния процес (1984–1989 г.) и масовото изселване от 1989 г. — «Голямата екскурзия» — на български турци към Турция, както и за техните наследници. Маршрутът се документира като ИСТОРИЧЕСКИ/изтекъл по срок прозорец с жива резервна пътека по произход/възстановяване. Изселването се представя като ДИАПАЗОН: 310 000–322 000 изселени (30 май–22 август 1989 г.); ~360 000 заедно с присъединилите се в изгнание семейства (Kamusella); някои изследователи до ~400 000 — никога едно-единствено число. Около 130 000–150 000 се завръщат 1989–1990 г. The express statutory vehicle was Transitional §4 ПЗР ЗБГ; today the operative grants are чл.15(1)т.1 (origin) and standing чл.26 restoration. Restoration is Chapter Four чл.26–28, NEVER §22–27.

Quién califica

1989 Proceso de reactivación de descendientes expulsados ​​- referencias cruzadas del marco de restauración Ley de nombres de 1990 (ДВ 20/1990) + Ley de rehabilitación de 1991 + Tratado de amistad BG-TR de 1992. ~310-322.000 cohortes expulsadas de mayo a agosto de 1989 (rango de hasta 400.000 según la Declaración de NA de 2012). Cohorte de restauración de nombres de 850.000 personas.

Requisitos

There is NO residence requirement on the principal live descendant path: чл.15(1)т.1 origin naturalization waives чл.12(1)т.2 (the 5-yr permanent-residence clock) entirely. On the restoration path, чл.26(1)т.3 ordinarily requires a permanent or long-term residence permit held for at least 3 years before the application — BUT чл.26(2) EXEMPTS persons of Bulgarian origin from that 3-year residence requirement (restoration при условията на ал.1, т.1 и 2 only). The implementing Наредба №1/1999 чл.11(2) mirrors this by excusing Bulgarian-origin applicants from filing the residence permit. Net for the 1989-cohort and descendants of Bulgarian origin: no 3-year residence wait, whether they proceed by чл.15 origin naturalization or by чл.26(2) origin-exempt restoration.

Documentos

Документи. On the чл.15(1)т.1 origin path: официални документи (български или чуждестранни) proving a kinship link to an ascendant от български произход up to the THIRD degree inclusive (чл.15(2), ДВ бр.21/2021); the standalone ДАБЧ certificate is no longer a precondition of the citizenship application, though the Консултативен съвет към ИАБЧ/ДАБЧ may be tasked to establish origin (чл.15(4), чл.29(6)). On the restoration (чл.26) path: the Наредба №1 чл.11(1) set referencing чл.4(1) т.1–4, 7–11, 13, 14 — identity, свидетелство за съдимост from the foreign authorities for those abroad, etc.; чл.11(2) excuses origin persons from the residence permit. Common: birth/civil-status acts establishing the line; documents on date/manner of leaving the country; document on any acquired foreign citizenship; name-change documents (relevant where a 1984–85 forced Bulgarianisation/de-Bulgarianisation occurred); 2 photographs; fee receipt. Foreign documents must be apostilled (1961 Convention) or treaty-legalised and translated into Bulgarian.

ИАБЧ + Vía de documentación del Comité de Helsinki. Según ZBG §15 + restauración alternativa §27 cuando corresponda.

Plazos

Срокове. Restoration: the statutory MoJ proposal term is 6 months (чл.35(1)т.3) measured from the Council opinion; origin naturalization (чл.15): 9 months (чл.35(1)т.2, изм. ДВ бр.21/2021). These are the statutory proposal terms — the President then issues the указ (чл.34/чл.36). A widely-cited ~18-month figure is NOT statutory; it comes from NGO/practitioner sources and reflects real-world backlog — чл.35 controls. Where origin is established via a separate ИАБЧ certificate, the agency pronounces within a 14-day term. The historical §4 window itself was a strict one-year request period from 20.02.1999 (closed ~20.02.2000) and is no longer available. Plan realistically for multi-year end-to-end processing despite the shorter statutory proposal terms.

Tasas y costos

Такси. The state fee on the citizenship application is set by Тарифа № 1 (раздел Г — taxes collected by the Ministry of Justice), as amended by ПМС № 104 от 25.06.2025 (обн. ДВ бр.52/27.06.2025, в сила 01.07.2025). The origin/Bulgarian-parent molba line (т.55 буква а) rose 30→300 лв ≈ 153,39 EUR; the general-naturalization molba line (т.55 буква в) rose 100→1000 лв ≈ 511,29 EUR. The чл.39 establishment-of-citizenship certificate (a distinct service) = 250 лв / 127,82 EUR (т.57, IISDA-confirmed). Euro framing: amounts are in BGN through 2025; from 01.01.2026 in EUR at the irrevocable rate 1 EUR = 1.95583 BGN (mandatory dual price display 08.08.2025–08.08.2026). The verbatim descriptive LABEL of each раздел-Г line is not lifted from the consolidated schedule (PDF non-renderable); the NUMBERS are verbatim-primary.

Base jurídica

The live grant rests on two standing provisions plus a constitutional anchor. (1) чл.15(1)т.1 ЗБГ — облекчена натурализация for a person от български произход, waiving чл.12(1) т.2 (5-yr residence), т.4 (income), т.5 (language), т.6 (renunciation). (2) Глава четвърта чл.26–28 — restoration: чл.26(1) for a released person on the т.1/т.2/т.3 conditions, чл.26(2) exempting persons of Bulgarian origin from the т.3 3-yr residence requirement, чл.27 for a deprived person, чл.28 derivative for minor children. Constitutional base: чл.25(2) Конституция (Лицата от български произход придобиват българско гражданство по облекчен ред). Definition: §2(1) ДР ЗБГ. The historical express vehicle was Transitional §4 ПЗР (изм. ДВ бр.41/2001). Restoration is Chapter Four — NEVER §22–27 (revocation/deprivation).

Autoridad competente

Компетентни органи. The Ministry of Justice (Министерство на правосъдието) receives the application, conducts the interview, and forms the proposal via the Съвет по гражданството (чл.29/34/35). Bulgarian origin is opined on by the Консултативен съвет към the Изпълнителна агенция за българите в чужбина (ИАБЧ) — formerly the Държавна агенция за българите в чужбина (ДАБЧ), renamed ДАБЧ→ИАБЧ by ПМС №73 от 05.05.2022 (ДВ бр.36/2022) and placed under the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The origin certificate (when separately sought) is issued by ИАБЧ/ДАБЧ, NOT the MFA (Sofia Administrative Court verbatim: Удостоверението … се издава от Държавната агенция за българите в чужбина, респ. нейния председател). The final act of acquisition/restoration is by указ (decree) of the President of the Republic (чл.36; Конституция чл.98 т.9).

Exceptions & edge cases

Двойно гражданство. Bulgaria TOLERATES dual nationality. чл.3 ЗБГ: Български гражданин, който е и гражданин на друга държава, се смята само за български гражданин при прилагането на българското законодателство, освен ако в закон е предвидено друго — it regulates the effect of dual nationality rather than prohibiting it. The posture is asymmetrical: a birth-Bulgarian who acquires a foreign nationality does not lose Bulgarian citizenship (Const. чл.25(3) bars deprivation of birth-Bulgarians), while an ORDINARY naturalising foreigner must renounce (чл.12(1)т.6) — BUT the чл.15 origin path WAIVES that renunciation requirement, and restoration under чл.26 contains no renunciation condition. For the 1989 cohort this is decisive: a descendant or returnee may reacquire Bulgarian citizenship WITHOUT giving up Turkish nationality. Bulgaria is a State Party to the ECN (ratified 02.02.2006, EIF 01.06.2006).

Escenarios de ejemplo

Los escenarios de ejemplo se muestran en inglés.

  • Eligible

    The express §4 ПЗР window is lapsed (~20.02.2000), but the person falls back to standing чл.26 restoration. As a person of Bulgarian origin he is restored при условията на ал.1, т.1 и 2 only (чл.26(2)) — i.e. EXEMPT from the чл.26(1)т.3 3-year residence requirement — provided т.1 (no relevant conviction) and т.2 (no security threat) are met.

  • Not eligible

    Ineligible for a RESTORATION/naturalization grant because she never lost citizenship — she is a subsisting Bulgarian citizen. Her remedy is ordinary re-documentation (passport/ID issuance), not чл.15 or чл.26; routing her through a citizenship-acquisition mode would be a category error. A large share of the 1989 cohort sits here (~130k–150k returned 1989–1990 and reclaimed).

  • Eligible

    The grandparent is a Bulgarian ascendant within §2(1) ДР (поне един възходящ е българин; origin is не строго етническо per ВКС №495/2025), and the line falls within the чл.15(2) 3rd-degree documentary cap. The grandchild naturalises under чл.15(1)т.1, waiving чл.12(1) т.2 (residence), т.4 (income), т.5 (language) and т.6 (renunciation) — and keeps Turkish nationality (чл.3 tolerance). This is the principal LIVE pathway today.

  • Eligible

    Eligible without renunciation: the чл.15(1)т.1 origin path waives чл.12(1)т.6 (renunciation), restoration under чл.26 contains no renunciation condition, and чл.3 ЗБГ regulates rather than prohibits dual nationality (BG is an ECN State Party, ratified 02.02.2006). The applicant reacquires/acquires Bulgarian citizenship while retaining Turkish nationality ( чл.3).

  • Eligible

    Derivative restoration under чл.28: on the parent restoration a child under 14 becomes Bulgarian automatically; where one parent is restored, the other parent consent is required (here given). No independent residence/language conditions apply to the child (чл.28 Legal_State_Seed §4.2).

  • Conditional

    Conditional: ВКС №495/12.08.2025 frames the DEFINITIONAL reach of български произход at the 4th degree, supporting the claim in principle — BUT чл.15(2) caps the DOCUMENTARY-PROOF requirement at the 3rd degree inclusive. The two must be presented BOTH, not collapsed; whether ИАБЧ/the Council accepts 4th-degree origin on the documentary record is the live conditionality. Outcome depends on the proof actually establishing the kinship link within the operative degree framing.
