In Bulgaria, selling and buying sex between adults are not offences under national law. Article 155 of the Criminal Code punishes inducing another person into prostitution (one to three years and a fine) and systematically providing premises to different people for sexual intercourse or lewd acts (up to five years and a fine), with one to six years where done for gain. Using a person who is a trafficking victim for lewd acts carries three to ten years (Article 159c). Article 329(1), which punished able-bodied adults living for a long time on income obtained by "impermissible or immoral" means, was declared unconstitutional by Constitutional Court decision No. 13 of 2022. Several sexual-offence provisions, including those on minors who sell sex, were amended in 2026. No specific offence of advertising sexual services exists.
