All About the Romania Visa
Heading to Romania to visit its majestic castles and beautiful medieval towns? You’ll need to investigate travel authorisation requirements before you go!
Some nationalities including Americans, Canadians, Australians and citizens of New Zealand don’t require a visa to visit here if you’re visiting as a tourist for less than 90 days. You will, however, need to have a current passport valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter the country.
Alternatively, citizens of other countries including India, Pakistan and Thailand do require Romania travel visa authorisation. If this applies to you, you’ll be happy to hear that there is an eVisa available and you can apply for it today with Byevisa.
The first step is to fill out an easy online application. Proof of your itinerary and accommodation is required to obtain the travel authorisation as well as a photograph, medical insurance for your trip and proof of funds to cover your stay.
You will then need to go in person to the corresponding embassy or consulate to finalise your application.
