Sources: 5. Developments: 2. The Bulgarian Parliament has engaged in several legislative efforts to reform various regulatory frameworks. In mid-September, the National Assembly prepared to debate amendments to the Law on Foreigners. These proposals, including a bill from the Council of Ministers, aimed to align national law with European Union requirements by facilitating legal labor migration, protecting seasonal workers from exploitation, and digitizing administrative processes for residence and work permits. By early October, legislative activity shifted toward the private security sector. The Parliament passed amendments to the Private Security Activities Act, which expanded the eligibility of individuals working in the sector by removing requirements that security roles be a person’s primary employment. The updated law also broadened the ability of legal entities to contract personal protection services for employees or officials facing threats and adjusted the composition of the Advisory Council for Cooperation on Private Security Activities. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-07: Bulgarian Parliament amends private security laws The Bulgarian Parliament approved amendments to the Private Security Activities Act, allowing for part-time employment and enabling legal entities to contract personal protection for their staff. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bulgarian-parliament-amends-private-security-laws ### 2026-09-15: Bulgarian Parliament to debate changes to Foreigners Law The Bulgarian National Assembly will debate amendments to the Law on Foreigners, focusing on labor migration, worker protections for seasonal employees, and the digitalization of permit processes. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bulgarian-parliament-to-debate-changes-to-foreigners-law --- Cite as: Bulgarian legislative reforms in migration and security.
