Visas

 

You do not need a visa to enter Romania.  British citizens who enter Romania have the right to stay for a period of three months from the date of entry.  If you intend to stay for a longer period than three months, you can apply for a registration certificate issued by the Romanian Authority for Immigrants as either self-employed, an employee, self-supported, or as a student.  Non-EU family members, both partners and dependants, can also apply.

 

Working in Romania

 

British Citizens intending to work in Romania should register with the Romanian Office for Immigrants and will need to provide an employment contract or a certificate issued by their employer.  No separate work permit is required.  You can also register as self-employed in which case you would need to provide an appropriate licence.  Further information on working in Romania can be found at http://www.aps.mai.gov.ro or by contacting the Romanian Office for Immigrants (Oficiul Roman pentru Imigrari) at Str. Eforie nr 3-5, corp A, et 6, sector 5, Bucharest; email:  ori@mira.gov.ro.  There are also new work access regulations for British nationals who are family members of Romanian citizens and for family members of EU and EEA nationals.  Information is also available from the Romanian Immigration Office.

 

Right of residence certificate

 

If a British citizen has been a legal resident in Romania for a continuous period of at least five years then they can apply for a permanent right of residence certificate from the Romanian Authority for Aliens.

 

Travelling with children

All children entering Romania should have their own passport.  Children included in parents’ passports will only be allowed entry if the passport also contains their photograph.  You should check with the Romanian Embassy in London to ensure that you are travelling with correct documentation.
