Romania Visa FAQs
Yes. Indian citizens require a visa prior to enter the Republic of Romania. Romania visas must be obtained from the Embassy of Romaniain India. The type of visa to enter Romaniawill depend on several factors such as purpose of your planned visit and duration.
Short stay Romania visas are normally issued for up to 90 days from date of issue.You will be permitted entry for the time period specified on the visa sticker, as long as you have not exceeded the maximum duration of 90 days of stay within the 180 day period prior to your arrival at the border crossing point.
The earliest date to apply for a Romania visa is three months before the intended date of travel to the country. In order to allow for adequate time for visa processing, it is advisable that all visa applications are submitted at least twenty days prior to travelling.
You are exempt from the Romanian visa requirement for stays of no more than 90 days during any 180-day period provided you:
- Hold a two or multiple entry short-stay visa issued by a Schengen member state;
- Hold a limited territorial validity visa issued by a Schengen member state;

Validity of a Romania Visa refers to the period within which the visa holder is allowed to enter Romania.
The number of entries refers to the number of times the visa holder is permitted to enter Romania within the visa’s validity. One must carefully note what kind of entry is permitted. If the visa reads a single entry, its holder can only enter and leave Romania only once. Whereas, with multiple entries, he/she can enter or leave more than once within the visa validity.
Duration of stay refers to the longest period the visa holder is allowed to stay in Romania on each visit, and this is counted from the day following entry into Romania. When all the permitted entries are used up, the visa will no longer be valid. Even if there are unused entries, the visa will no longer be valid if the validity has already expired. In either case, the visa holder should apply for a new visa if another visit to Romania is planned.
The holder of a visa is eligible to enter Romania at any time prior to the expiry of its validity provided that permitted entries on the visa have not been used up; the holder’s planned duration of stay in Romania must not exceed the duration stated on the visa.
