- Types of Romanian visas
Before applying for a Romanian visa, it’s important to understand the different types of visas that are available. These include:
- Short-term visa: This visa is valid for up to 90 days and is intended for those who are visiting Romania for business or tourism purposes.
- Long-term visa: This visa is intended for those who are planning to stay in Romania for more than 90 days, such as students, employees, or family members of Romanian citizens.
- Residence permit: This permit is required for those who plan to stay in Romania for an extended period of time, such as for work or study purposes.
- Required documents for visa and permit applications
When applying for a Romanian visa or residence permit, there are certain documents that must be submitted, including:
- Valid passport
- Proof of sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay in Romania
- Medical insurance
- Criminal record certificate
- Proof of accommodation
- Proof of employment or enrollment in a Romanian educational institution (if applicable)
- Common challenges and how to overcome them
Despite having all the required documents, many foreign nationals still face challenges when applying for a Romanian visa or residence permit. Some common challenges include:
- Language barrier: The Romanian immigration system can be complex and confusing, especially for those who do not speak Romanian. Working with a bilingual immigration lawyer can help overcome this challenge.
- Lack of knowledge about the immigration system: Many foreign nationals are not familiar with the Romanian immigration system and its requirements. Consulting with an experienced immigration lawyer can help provide clarity and guidance.
