We have tried to bring you all the important details you require to arrange your travel authorisation for your upcoming Romanian holiday. However, we know that there are other questions that you may need answering, so we’ve tried to address them here.
Do Indians Travelling to Romania in Transit Need A Visa?
Yes. Even if you will not be leaving the international area of the airport, you need to obtain the Airport Transit Visa.
To do this, you need to supply proof that you will be continuing your journey to its final destination as well as your valid passport, a colour passport photo and evidence that you have a visa if necessary for the country that you are heading to.
If you are intending to leave the airport because you have a long layover, you still need a transit authorisation, but it will be a different document.
You need to apply for the Transit Visa B, which allows you to enter the country and stay for a maximum of 5 days. You need to supply the same documentation as for the Airport Transit permit together with your driving licence.
When Should I Apply for a Romanian Visa?
The processing time for a Short Stay Romanian tourist visa can be up to 14 days from the day you make payment. You must therefore leave at least this length of time before your trip to apply.
Bear in mind, though, that you cannot apply any earlier than 90 days before you’re due to travel, so you should apply around 1 month before your date of travel for the greatest peace of mind.
