Third-country nationals have the possibility to apply for entry visas to Romania, regardless of the purpose of travel, in line with the specific legislation in the field. Visa applications shall be lodged with the Romanian diplomatic missions or consular posts abroad, competent in the area of abode or residence of each applicant; in special, urgent cases, visa applications can be lodged at the diplomatic missions or consular posts of Romania from the state where the applicant is legally present.
Please take note! Third-country nationals who wish to remain in Romania for a longer period of time, on the basis of a long-stay visa, are required to register with the Romanian authorities no later than 30 days before the expiry of the visa, in order to avoid legal penalties.
