Romania visitor visa overview
Romania now participates in the Schengen framework, and short-stay entry requirements depend on passport nationality and travel-document type. UAE residence alone does not determine whether a Romanian/Schengen visa is required.
For applicants who require a visa, Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs uses the eViza gateway to check the requirement, complete the online application, upload supporting documents and send the file to a Romanian diplomatic mission or consular post for validation before the in-person stage.
Romania visa application route from UAE
- Use eViza to check whether your passport needs a visa. The system considers nationality, purpose, travel-document type and biometric status.
- Create the online visa file. Complete the form and upload the required supporting documents.
- Send the file for consular validation. The mission may request corrections or additional information before marking the file valid.
- Schedule the appointment only after validation. Choose an available timeslot for the selected Romanian mission/consular post.
- Attend in person with originals and copies. The application form is signed in front of consular staff and the applicable visa fee is paid at lodging.

Fees, timing and submission
Visa fee
The applicable fee depends on the visa route and applicant circumstances. Confirm the current amount in the Romanian eViza system before the in-person appointment.
Online validation first
Romania’s official process requires the online file to be validated before the applicant can move to appointment scheduling and personal lodging.
Processing time
Processing can vary by nationality, purpose, consultation requirements and file completeness. Submit early enough for possible follow-up requests.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Romania visa application fully online?
No. The official eViza process begins online, but a visa-required applicant must proceed to an appointment and personal lodging after the online file is validated.
How do I know whether I need a Romania visa from UAE?
Use Romania’s official eViza “Do you need a visa?” tool. The answer depends on nationality, travel-document type, purpose and other circumstances rather than UAE residence alone.
What happens after I send my eViza file for validation?
The Romanian mission may request more information or validate the file. Only after it is marked valid can you proceed to schedule the appointment for personal submission.
Can Hebviza guarantee a Romania visa?
No. Hebviza prepares documentation and checks consistency. The Romanian authorities decide the visa application.
