Visa-Free Destinations with a Romanian Passport
Visa Free — 116 countries
The holder of a Romanian passport enjoys all the advantages of citizenship of a European Union country. Among them is the ability to cross the borders of developed countries without obtaining a visa in advance.
27 countries of the European Union (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hundary and other).
Visa on Arrival — 46 countries
ETA (electronic travel authorization) — 8 countries
A Romanian passport entitles its holder to visit 8 countries with prior online visa authorization. This takes minimal time and eliminates the need to obtain the document at a consulate or visa center.
It should be noted that Romanian citizens enjoy a clear advantage when obtaining visas to Canada and the United States as compared with residents of post-Soviet countries. For example, the U.S. visa refusal rate for Romanians is less than 3%, which is significantly lower than 20% — the average refusal rate for CIS countries. Romanian citizens are refused Canadian visas in approximately 5% of cases, whereas for the post-Soviet republics the average refusal rate is 72%.
