re: Passport NEED HELP PLEASE
phone the bulgarian embassyi know a lot of places say 6 months, but i think the official line is only 3 months. i think you need 3 full months on your passport from the day your holiday ends. i went to bulgaria last year with 4 months remaining, and i'm fairly certain that was the advice i was given by the bulgarian embassy.
so call them, you might be ok
re: Passport NEED HELP PLEASE
From what has been posted many times before,
less than 3 months from the date you return is essential, or you will not even get out of the UK.
Steve may well be right, but I would still ring the passport office just to be certain.

This might cause you a problem at check in. Any information you get Paddy, print it off, and take it with you. Most airlines use guidelines, and I'm sure one of them is the not letting anyone embark without the three valid months. Steve may very well be right, but as Chris said, phone the Bulgarian embassy, and get the definitive answer, and if possible in writing.
Sorry this isn't a black and white response to your question, quite simply I'm not sure. I have heard lots of times that you do ...

re: Passport NEED HELP PLEASE
I just checked the Bulgarian embassy website. It seems there is no short definitve answer on there either. There are however, lots of references to this "A visa is issued only to bearers of passports or travel documents, which are valid for the country of Bulgaria for at least 3 months after the end of the intended stay and which contain a blank page for affixing of visa vignettes".I know we don't need a visa, but this statement crops up several times in their website
