Romania Visa Cost Calculator

The tourist visa is Romania's workhorse category: single entry, tourism or family visits, and the $80 base fee this calculator starts from. The multi-entry tier buys repetition rather than duration: $120 covers repeated entries into Romania within the visa's validity window. Work-adjacent travel — meetings, contract negotiation, site visits — falls under the business visa, priced at $200 for Romania and documented with a host letter.

A $24 transit endorsement legalises a short Romania layover — typically 24–72 hours — without a full application behind it. Since most applicants for Romania apply through a consulate or the official portal, add courier and notary costs on top of the $80 fee when budgeting.

Four inputs drive a Romania application: a passport valid six months beyond your stay, one compliant photo, proof of accommodation, and evidence you can fund the trip. Submission is portal-first for Romania: create the account, upload each document in the requested format, and keep every confirmation screenshot. Budget the fee in USD as this calculator does, then expect the actual charge in RON at the day's rate — a swing of a few dollars either way.

No interview is needed for most tourist applications to Romania — the file speaks for itself unless something in it is missing. Apply as soon as flights are provable — Romania issues decisions against documents, and a complete early file is the cheapest insurance there is.

Start with the passport: Romania wants six months of validity left and two blank pages, and will reject against either. Romania's photo rule is the standard white-background print; bring a spare, because the application keeps the one you hand over. Show roughly $50–100 USD per day of stay in bank statements — for a 10-day Romania trip that means $500–1,000 visible and recent.

Round the file out with your flight itinerary and Romania lodging confirmations that match your dates exactly — mismatches draw queries. An invitation letter from a registered Romania company is the business-visa keystone; transit files live or die on the onward booking.

Standard processing for Romania runs 5–15 business days for tourist files, stretching toward three weeks for multi-entry and business categories in busy seasons. The express lane at Romania costs half the base fee extra and returns decisions in 1–3 business days. Incomplete files, not bad histories, cause the bulk of Romania rejections — one missing night of lodging is enough.

Reapplication after a Romania refusal is routine once the stated reason is addressed; decision letters name the defect explicitly. Build a one-week buffer into any Romania timeline: a document request at day twelve of a fifteen-day queue is a missed flight otherwise.
