Hi allI read on postings quite a while ago that as a foriegn national you have to register with local authorities. I am going to Pamps in Feb but I was wondering if this requirement is still necessary with EU status. I am travelling independently a bulgaria and ski virgin. I noticed PP mentioned in previous posting that hire of equipment and so on more expensive if not booked with travel package. I assume all the places in Pamps are much the same pricewise or is there a big variation.

Don't know if it's the same thing, but when we checked into our hotel last year we handed our passports over the desk and they kept them all week. When they were returned on departure there was an official type form in each written in Bulgarian and stamped with an official type stamp.re: D you still have to register
Last time I went the customs guy threw mine on the floor. As of Jan1st Bulgaria will be in the EU I believe they will scrap this annoying little habit.re: D you still have to register
Hiwe went to Bansko in July and didn't have to report to the local authorities. We got back through customs with no problems.

After spending a week or so touring round Bulgaria this summer we had several registration forms from varoius places as well as several missing nights - forgetting to register, sleeper trains etc.

We pulled out the wad of forms from a pocket - he had a laugh at our crumpled ball of paperwork and stamped his form.
Every time I have left Sofia airport they just discard the forms without looking at them - my sister spent 3 weeks camping/hiking so had no paperwork and it was no problem.
As Dave said above the practice should stop in January.
