Romania visa requirements
Whether you need a visa for Romania depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. Travelers who are not visa-exempt and want to visit Romania for tourism, business, or family visits apply for the Schengen Visa, a short-stay travel document valid across Romania and the other Schengen member states.
Start your application and iVisa will confirm whether you need a Romania Schengen Visa based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.
General Romania visa requirements are:
Requirements verified against official government sources
- Passport (valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date from Schengen)
- Digital photos
- Travel insurance with minimum coverage of €30,000 for medical emergencies in the entire Schengen Area
- Recent bank statements showing sufficient funds (typically €500 minimum)

Romania Schengen VisaVisa
Travelers from eligible countries who do not have visa-free access to the European Union must apply for a Schengen Visa to visit Romania and other Schengen member states. The Schengen Visa is a mandatory travel document for short-term stays (tourism, business, or family visits).
Apply now- Who it's for
- The Schengen Visa is for travelers whose nationality requires a visa to enter Romania and is not on the visa-free list. It lets you enter Romania and all other Schengen member states for tourism or business.

- Duration and entries
- The standard short-stay visa (Type C) allows you to stay for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen Area. This applies to the entire Schengen Zone, not just Romania.
- Application process

After eVisa refusing to accept my first picture I provided for technical issues, I took and sent several selfies also not good enough. Eventually, the first picture was accepted and used to create the 45x35 mm Romanian government compliant digital picture. Happy it was done but could have been easier.
Romania visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Romania visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Romania Schengen Visa?
If your nationality requires a visa to enter Romania and is not on the visa-free list, you’ll need a Schengen Visa to enter Romania and all other Schengen member states for tourism or business.
Can I apply for a Romania Schengen Visa online?
While you can start the process and fill out the application form online through iVisa, the Schengen rules require you to attend an in-person appointment for biometric collection (fingerprints and photo) and to submit your physical documents at a consulate or visa center.
How will I receive the Romania Schengen Visa?
After the Romania authorities process your application, you will receive your passport back with the visa sticker attached, ready for your trip. You can also find a copy of your Schengen Visa confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.
How long can I stay in Romania?
The standard short-stay visa (Type C) allows you to stay for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period in the Schengen Area. This applies to the entire Schengen Zone, not just Romania. If you have a multiple-entry visa, you must still adhere to the 90/180-day rule.
Can I extend my stay in Romania?
Schengen Visa extensions are rarely granted. You can generally only extend your visa in cases of force majeure (e.g., natural disasters or flight cancellations), humanitarian reasons, or serious personal reasons that prevent you from leaving. You must apply at the local Foreigners' Authority before your visa expires.
What is the difference between a Schengen Visa and ETIAS?
The Schengen Visa is for travelers who are not visa-exempt. The ETIAS (launching late 2026) is a digital travel authorization for citizens of visa-exempt countries (like the US, UK, and Canada). If you currently need a visa to enter Romania, you will continue to need a Schengen Visa.
