Bulgaria - China 240-hour transit eligibility

Bulgaria lies on the Black Sea, an EU member two hours ahead of central Europe, served principally by Sofia (SOF). For Bulgarian passport holders China is a long eastward journey routed through a major hub, so 240-hour visa-free transit is worth planning around.
