United Kingdom visa requirements for Romanian citizens
Romanian citizens qualify for visa-free travel to the UK when traveling for business or leisure and for trips of less than 90 days. Romanian nationals do need to apply for a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (UK ETA) before traveling. Romanian travelers who do not qualify for a UK ETA will need to apply for a UK Standard Visitor Visa.
United Kingdom Electronic Travel Authorization (UK ETA): This document allows Romanian citizens a visa-free entry to the United Kingdom for 180 days, and it’s valid for a period of 2 years or until the linked passport expires or is changed.
United Kingdom Standard Visitor Visa: Romanian travelers not eligible for a UK ETA (due to a criminal record or travel history) will need to apply for a UK Standard Visitor Visa. The visa enables travel to the UK for various purposes and typically allows stays of up to 180 days.

UK ETATravel authorisation
- Who it's for
- Travelers from nationalities that can visit the UK without a visa, such as the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, and most of the EU. British and Irish citizens do not need one, and holders of a valid UK visa or EUSS status are also exempt.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism, visiting family and friends, business, transit, and short-term study. It covers short visits rather than living, working long-term, or settling in the UK.
- Duration and entries
- The ETA is a multiple-entry authorization valid for two years, or until your passport expires, so you can travel to the UK several times during that period.
- Transit through the UK
- You need an ETA if you change flights in the UK and pass through passport control. You do not need one to transit airside without passing through passport control.
- Delivery format
- The ETA is digitally linked to your passport, so there is no physical sticker. You receive an email confirmation once approved, and carriers verify it before you board.
- Validity
- 2 years
- Length of stay
- 6 months per entry
- Entry
- Multiple entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 15 minutes
