UPDATE<\/span>: <\/strong> Romania is best known for the historical region of Transylvania<\/a> \u2014 this is not only because of its charming castles that are perched on top of picturesque hills but also because of its association with the legend of \u2018Count Dracula\u2019.<\/p>\n What to Do in Romania\u2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Come and check out this list of the top things to do in Romania<\/a> which features the best activities and tours to do in places like Bucharest and more!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n But I must say, there\u2019s more to Romania than this because the district of Dobrogea<\/a> is worth anyone\u2019s while too! After all, I have spent my time there for a week and I had an amazing time. Though of course\u2026 in order to enjoy this all, as a Filipino citizen, you will need to avail a Romania visa first.<\/p>\n Fret not because it\u2019s easy to apply for one and I hope that my guide and tips below will help you to on a successful application!<\/p>\n \u2026But first, a disclaimer<\/span>:<\/p>\n NO ONE<\/strong> can give you a guarantee on your Romanian visa\u2019s approval \u2014 not even a lawyer, a consultant, a travel agent, or an embassy employee. Anyone who says otherwise is most likely going to be a scammer.<\/p>\n That being said, what I can offer you here is a comprehensive guide with helpful tips to increase<\/em> your chances of getting that Romania Visa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are, of course, various types of Romanian visas out there that you can apply for: a visa for studying, a visa for working, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n For this particular guide, I will only<\/span> be discussing the requirements for a visit or <\/strong>tourist visa<\/strong> since it\u2019s an experience that I\u2019ve gone through myself.<\/p>\n If, however, you have a complicated situation or a different purpose of visit, it\u2019s best that you head over to this page of the Embassy of Romania in the Philippines<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n NOTE: <\/em><\/strong>A Schengen short-stay visa generally allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. However, the exact number of days, validity period, and number of entries will depend on the visa issued.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n \u2013 \u2013 \u2013<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n Go to Romania\u2019 E-Visa Portal<\/strong><\/a> and click the button that says \u201cApply for a visa<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n The process for setting up your own account in the portal is easy and self-explanatory. Just follow the instructions, proceed to type in your info, as well as upload soft copies of relevant documents.<\/p>\n Do remember though that\u00a0if you are traveling together with other people, each of you must individually register and apply on the site.<\/p>\n To start off, below is a list of the basic documents that I uploaded.<\/p>\n NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0You can submit files that are in .JPG or .PDF formats and they must be under 2MB size. BASIC REQUIREMENTS<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n Start filing your local taxes in the Philippines as early as NOW \u2014 after all, a lot of embassies (not only Romania) require an ITR. So if you\u2019re looking for a hassle-free experience on Philippines tax compliance, I suggest registering with Taxumo<\/a> because they can take care of literally everything for you: tax forms, payments, and submissions.<\/em> NOTE:<\/span> <\/strong>It is possible that the Romanian Embassy may request more information or additional documents from you which is apart from the basic requirements above \u2014 if they do, they will email you and ask you to submit it online (with appropriate instructions). <\/em>In my case though, they didn\u2019t ask for anything else (thankfully!).<\/em><\/p>\n Meanwhile, if you want assistance on making .PDF files, click the \u2018+\u2019 icon below to expand the following section\u2026<\/p>\n \u25d8\u25d8 <\/mark>How can I make .PDF files?<\/strong> \u25d8\u25d8 <\/mark>How can I merge multiple documents into one .pdf?<\/strong>Romania is now part of the Schengen Area. This means that Filipino passport holders who want to visit Romania for tourism generally need to apply for a Schengen short-stay visa. You should apply through Romania if Romania is your main destination, or if it is your first point of entry and no other Schengen country is your clear main destination. The requirements below have been updated to reflect this, but always check the Romanian Embassy\u2019s latest instructions before applying.<\/code><\/p>\nApplication Process for Romania Visa<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
