According to the press release of the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications, the new passports meet all international requirements.
The release of such biometric documents is a condition for Bulgaria to become part of the Visa Waiver Programme of the United States, i.e. that the Bulgarian citizens holding these documents will be allowed to travel to the United States visa-free.
During the official launch ceremony at the provincial police office of Plovdiv (southern Bulgaria) the first of these new generation passports was issued to a Bulgarian citizen after he made an application. The event was attended by a representative of the European Commission.
