Romania Visa Requirements: Do You Qualify?
How it works
Using the checker
- Enter who moves with you: the adults besides you (a spouse or partner, dependent parents) and the children.
- Enter your monthly income before tax and the savings you can show.
- Each route shows the amount it asks of your household and whether your figures meet it — by income, or by savings where the rules accept them.
The routes and how the amounts are worked out
- Digital Nomad long-stay visa — Remote work for a company registered abroad, or owning one. 3 × Romania's average gross monthly wage, for each of the 6 months before applying and the whole stay — 27,576 lei on the 2026 budget figure (9,192 lei). The statistics office's monthly averages for 2026 are higher (about 9,500–9,900 lei) and the authorities do not say which figure they use — keep a margin. Health insurance of at least €30,000.
- Temporary stay for other purposes — Staying for another lawful activity on your own means. At least the average gross monthly wage (9,192 lei on the 2026 budget figure). Extended a year at a time. Company administrators: a capital contribution of at least €50,000.
Money is not the only requirement
Every route also asks for health insurance, a clean criminal record and documents proving the income, translated and legalised where required. A lawyer checks the whole file before you apply and helps with the residence permit after arrival.
