Visas for Romania, without the guesswork

Short stays in Romania run on the shared Schengen rules — one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Romania takes applications

Good to know about Romania

• Newest full member with Bulgaria: air and sea borders opened 31 March 2024, land borders 1 January 2025.
• Romania built its own e-visa pipeline (eViza) instead of outsourcing the form stage — every application is registered online first.
• Visas issued by Romania before accession remain valid; the country now issues uniform Schengen visas.

Staying longer than 90 days

Long stays use national D visas applied via eViza and approved by the General Inspectorate for Immigration; work visas need a work permit obtained by the employer first.
