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.
