Romania welcomes visitors from countries around the world, but the entry requirements differ significantly depending on which passport you hold. Some nationalities can arrive without any prior arrangements, while others must obtain an eVisa, a visa on arrival, or a full embassy visa before departure. This page organizes Romania visa requirements by passport, so you can quickly see the access level for your nationality and follow the link through to the specific requirements that apply to your trip.
Visa-free access means travelers holding eligible passports can enter Romania for short stays without submitting any application in advance. Visa on arrival (VoA) is available at designated ports of entry for qualifying nationalities, typically for a fee paid at the border. An eVisa can be obtained online before travel, which streamlines the process compared to a traditional consular application. Nationalities listed under "visa required" must apply through the Romania embassy or an authorized consulate in their home country before departing.
Beyond the visa category, most travelers to Romania must also meet standard entry conditions. These typically include a passport valid for a minimum period beyond your intended stay, often six months, though this varies. You may also need to show proof of sufficient funds for the duration of your visit, a confirmed onward or return ticket, and valid travel insurance. Border officers have the discretion to request any of these documents at the point of entry, so carrying them even when they are technically optional is strongly recommended.
Specific requirements such as maximum stay durations, passport validity rules, and any conditions around work or study during a short-stay visit are listed on the individual pair pages. Click through from any passport card above to read the exact conditions that apply to holders of that passport when traveling to Romania.
Visa policy for Romania is reviewed and updated regularly, but changes can occur at short notice due to bilateral agreements, diplomatic developments, or new government policy. A visa category that applied during a previous trip may no longer be accurate. Before making any bookings, always verify the current requirements directly with the Romania embassy, consulate, or official government immigration portal that covers your nationality.
For travelers who hold multiple passports, it is worth checking requirements for each passport you carry, as the conditions can differ considerably between nationalities. In some cases, one passport may grant visa-free access while another requires a full embassy visa. Choosing the correct passport to travel on can save significant time and cost. The data on this page is organized by passport to make those comparisons straightforward.
Each passport listed on this page shows the visa category and, where available, the maximum permitted stay in days. Some entries also show a stay rule such as "90 days in any 180-day period," which indicates a rolling limit rather than a flat per-visit cap. The last verified date shown at the top of the page reflects the most recent date the data was reviewed for accuracy. Entries that have not been recently updated should be treated with extra caution and confirmed independently before travel.
Disclaimer: Visa requirements can change without notice. Always verify current requirements with official government sources or the embassy/consulate before making travel arrangements.
