There is a shortage of lifeguards on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast this summer again. This is due to the fact that many young lifeguards prefer to work abroad or find a permanent job, said for BNR Burgas Vasil Alexiev, a water rescue expert at the Bulgarian Red Cross - Burgas. The lack of interest in this profession is due to the low wages offered in this country - an average of EUR 500-600.
Bulgaria is experiencing serious staff shortage. Lifeguards are hired from Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia. In this regard, beach concessionaires are calling on the authorities to relax the visa regime and ease the procedures related to granting of work permits to foreign nationals and in particular to lifeguards from non-EU countries.
