How and where on the territory of Bulgaria can foreign citizens get a PCR test?

Every citizen – whether Bulgarian or foreign – can undergo a PCR test and a rapid antigen test for coronavirus of their own volition at the licensed laboratories on the territory of the country.

By order from 16 November, 2020, the minister of health designated 76 healthcare establishments and regional health inspectorates to perform the highly specialized diagnostic laboratory polymerase chain reaction test for Covid-19.

They are in Sofia, Varna, Stara Zagora, Burgas, Plovdiv, Pleven, Kurdzhali, Razgrad, Russe, Vratsa, Silistra, Haskovo, Pernik, Veliko Turnovo, Asenovgrad, Petrich, Montana, Sliven, Gabrovo, Shumen, Blagoevgrad, Karlovo, Smolyan,  Gotse Delchev and Panagyurishte. 


How much do paid PCR and rapid antigen tests for Covid-19 cost in Bulgaria?

All citizens – Bulgarian and foreign – can undergo a PCR test of their own volition for the average price of 120 Leva (61 euro), and a rapid antigen test for coronavirus for the price of around 30 Leva (15 euro) at one of the licensed laboratories on the territory of the country.
