Travel Documents
American and Canadian citizens as well as citizens of Australia, New Zealand
and most European countries do not need an entry visa to visit Romania, for stays up to 90 (ninety) days, accumulated during a single visit - or multiple visits - within a six-month period.
However, a valid passport is required for all overseas/ non-EU visitors.
Your passport has to be valid for the entire duration of your visit (it will not expire sooner than your intended date of departure).
However, please check the expiration date on your passport carefully before traveling to Europe.
Although Romania is not part of the Schengen agreement, some airlines (i.e. Lufthansa) may refuse boarding at your point of origin or while transferring planes if your passport is not valid for at least three months beyond your intended date of departure. You could also be denied entry when you arrive in the Schengen area.
For this reason, the US Department of State – Bureau of Consular Affairs recommends that your passport have at least six months' validity remaining whenever you travel abroad.
For stays longer than 90 days visitors need to need to apply for a temporary residence permit
(either before arriving into Romania or at least 30 days before the 90-day "no visa" stay expires).
To apply for an extended stay visa please visit eVisa.MAE.ro
For additional information please contact the Romanian Immigration Office
