Beware: Thieves could make you pay

Did you know you may have to pay if your car is stolen in Bulgaria?

According to a recent advice update from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, victims of car theft may be subject to fines and taxes. Technically, a car registered outside of the EU is considered to be “temporarily imported.” If the car is stolen while in Bulgaria, the owner must pay import duty and all related taxes.

Check out the advice for Bulgaria for more policies about driving.
