🇷🇴 Romania Visa

Dear Visitor,

All Turkish citizens holding an Ordinary (Bordo) Passport who plan to travel to Romania must obtain a Romania visa before entering the country. As of 2024, Romania has started the transition process to the Schengen area and has begun evaluating visa applications in accordance with Schengen visa procedures. Therefore, for short-term or long-term trips to Romania, it is very important that applications fully comply with official procedures.

It is recommended that you apply for a Romania visa no earlier than 90 days and no later than 45 days before your planned trip. Considering consulate workload, processing times, and appointment system intensity, completing your application as early as possible is important for the smooth progress of your process.

For your travels to Romania for tourism, business, family visit, or transit purposes, you must complete all required documents without any missing items and carry out your procedures through the official appointment system. After reviewing your application, the Romanian Consulate may request additional documents or call you for an interview if deemed necessary. To avoid a negative result, all documents must be complete, current, and correctly prepared.

📝 Romania Visa Application

Romania visa application procedures are carried out through the Romanian Embassy and authorized consular centers. The application process begins with the online Romania visa application form and continues with the submission of the printed form together with supporting documents. It is very important that the information declared in the form matches exactly with the documents submitted.

Romania short-term visas are issued for touristic or business visits, while long-term residence visas are granted only with the approval of the Immigration Bureau of the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs. The appointment date automatically generated in the application system cannot be changed; therefore, after completing the form, the applicant must attend the appointment in person on the specified date.

Personal attendance is mandatory in Romania visa applications. Even if you have previously received a Romania visa, you must personally appear at the application center for each new application. When the application is made under the correct category and with complete documents, it is usually finalized within 5 to 10 working days. However, consular workload, official holidays, and missing documents may extend this period.

🏝 Romania Visa Types

Romania visa categories vary depending on the purpose of travel. Short-term visas are called “Type C,” while long-term residence visas are issued as “Type D.”

Among Romania’s short-term visas are tourist visa (C/TU), family and friend visit visa (C/VV), business visa (C/A), transport and transit visa (C/TR), sports activity visa (C/SP), and cultural, scientific, medical, or humanitarian purpose visas (C/ZA). In addition, airport transit (Type A) and land transit (Type B) visas are issued under certain conditions.

After determining the visa category that best suits the purpose of travel, the applicant must prepare the documents accordingly and select the correct category in the online form. Applications made under the wrong category may negatively affect the evaluation process or result in rejection.

📌 Required Documents for Romania Visa

The documents required for the Romania visa application are official papers showing the applicant’s personal, professional, and financial situation. All documents must be up-to-date, contain accurate statements, and be submitted in their original form.

The application file must include the online completed Romania Visa Application Form, a visa request petition written in English, a passport valid for at least six months after the visa expiration date, two biometric photographs, bank account statements for the last three months, income documents, full population registration sample, identity card photocopy, travel reservations, and international travel health insurance.

Depending on professional status, additional documents are required: company documents for employers, payrolls and SGK service statements for employees, retirement documents for retirees, current student certificate for students, and agricultural chamber registration documents for farmers. If the applicant is under 18 years old, a notarized parental consent letter must be added to the file.

💶 Romania Visa Fees 2025

As of 2025, the Romania short-term visa fee is approximately 90 Euros. The fee may vary depending on the visa category and travel duration. Since Romania visa fees are processed individually, cancellation or refund is not possible after the application. Preparing your application file correctly is very important to avoid wasting the paid fee.

The visa fees determined by the Romanian Consulate are updated every year. The current fee schedule is calculated based on the visa type and the applicant’s personal situation. Therefore, it is recommended to confirm the fee information suitable for your case before applying.

🕒 How Long Does It Take to Get a Romania Visa?

If the Romania visa application file is prepared completely and accurately, the result is usually issued within 5 to 10 working days. However, this period may vary depending on the workload of the consulate, holiday periods, the city where the application is made, and personal circumstances.

The visa issuance period is generally completed within two weeks after the application date, but in some cases, it may extend up to 3–4 weeks due to additional document requests or system intensity. To avoid any disruption to your travel, it is recommended to apply as early as possible, preferably 30 to 45 days before the travel date.

🚫 Romania Visa Rejection

There is always the possibility of rejection in Romania visa applications. Visa refusal usually occurs due to missing documents, incorrect information, outdated paperwork, or non-compliance with travel rules in past trips. In case of refusal, a written notification is given to the applicant specifying the reason for the rejection.

It is not recommended to reapply with the same documents after a rejection. Correcting missing or incorrect documents with professional support is very important for the new application to be approved. In case of rejection, the paid visa fee is non-refundable, and the application process must start from the beginning.

🚗 Traveling to Romania by Road

Those who will travel to Romania by private vehicle must purchase the electronic highway pass called “Rovignette” when entering the country. This card is available at border gates and must be attached to the front windshield of the vehicle. In addition, those who will transit through Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria, or Moldova via Romania are advised to check the border crossing rules of these countries in advance.
