Bulgaria has reinstated a disinfection fee on vehicles leaving through certain land border gates, including Kapıkule, Hamzabeyli, and Dereköy, due to concerns about the bluetongue disease in cattle. The fee, which is 7 Leva per vehicle, was previously lifted but is now being collected again as part of increased disinfection measures. This has resulted in long queues of vehicles trying to cross into Bulgaria. The fee was reinstated on December 16, 2024, after Bulgaria's inclusion in the European Union on January 1, 2025.
