Romania Short Stay Visa
If you are planning to go to Romania for a short visit, you might need to get a Short Stay Visa depending on what country you are from. The short-stay visa allows you to stay in Romania for no more than 90 days within an interval of maximum 6 months from your date of entry (in the case of a multiple-entry visa, the duration of the stay will be taken into account from the date of the first entry).
There are a number of different purposes for which the Romanian short-stay visa is granted:
- Tourism
- Business
- Official government mission
- Private visit, transportation
- Participation in sports activities
- Cultural, scientific or academic events
Go to my Romania visa page for information on other types of visas for Romania.
