Recent Romania entry rule changes

• 2025-10-12: The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) started; it became fully operational at all Schengen external borders on 10 Apr 2026. Non-EU visitors register fingerprints and a facial image on first entry instead of passport stamps.
• 2026-10: ETIAS (travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, €20) is not yet operating. The EU says the start date will be announced several months in advance; no application is needed today.

Entry tips for Romania

• Stays are limited to 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole Schengen area.
• Apply for a visa at the consulate of the country of your main destination (or first entry if equal).
• Local currency is Romanian leu (RON) — carry a card that works abroad and some cash for arrival costs.
• Buy travel medical insurance that covers your whole stay.
• An eSIM bought before you fly means data as soon as you land — handy for showing bookings at immigration.
