On 7 September 2005, Domovchiyski was dismissed for a second booking in the 1–3 home loss against Iceland U21, but on 12 October 2007, he scored the only goal for his side in the surprising 1–0 home win against Portugal U21.

Seniors

Domovchiyski collected his first senior international cap was on 9 May 2006 in the 2–1 win against Japan during the 2006 edition of the Kirin Cup. During 2009 he was not called often. He started being called for each match after his ex-coach Stanimir Stoilov became a head coach of Bulgarian national team. On 5 September 2009, he scored his first international goal in a World Cup qualifier against Montenegro. On 13 November 2010, he caused controversy when he refused a call-up for the friendly match against Serbia to be held four days later, citing important club commitments, which prompted coach Lothar Matthaus to permanently drop him from the national side. Domovchiyski was recalled to the national team in October 2011, following the appointment of Mikhail Madanski as caretaker manager of the Bulgarian national side.
