How to Apply a Visa to Romania

Romania, an Eastern European country about the size of Wyoming, features hilly landscapes encompassing the Carpathian mountains and the Danube River basin. The tourist attractions Romania offers, from lofty Transylvanian castles to seaside accommodations on the Black Sea, have helped Romania's tourism industry increase at a rate of 6 percent each year. Visitors to the country may require a visa to enter.

Step 1

Apply for the correct type of visa to enter Romania. Ask for a transit visa, good for five days, if you are continuing travel to another country without leaving a Romanian airport. Apply for a short-term visa, valid for 90 days, if you are a tourist, missionary or athlete. People reuniting with family, those married to a Romanian national or visiting the country for extended business or higher education need a long-term visa, which may be renewable after 90 days.

Step 2

Download the visa application form from the Embassy of Romania's website and fill it out in its entirety. Attach a copy of your passport picture to the top of the application. Fill in your passport number; your passport must be valid for at least 90 days after your departure from Romania.

Step 3

Schedule an appointment with the closest Romanian consulate. The embassy is located in Washington D.C.; consulates are found in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Your visa application will be processed in person, and you will be mailed your visa.

Step 4

Pay for your visa with cash or a money order made payable to the Embassy of Romania. Visa processing fees for short-stay and transit visas are $81 each as of March 2011. Long-stay visa fees are $162.
