Hungary→Romania
Hungary to Romania
How long can I stay, and can I extend it?
You may stay in Romania for up to 90 days without a visa. Stays longer than 90 days require a visa.
Romania maintains an embassy or consulate in Hungary, so any application that must be made to Romanian authorities can be handled through their mission in Hungary.
Can children travel on this route?
If you are under 18, carry a letter of parental consent for travel to Romania.
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, check that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of entry into Romania.
Arrange proof of onward travel and accommodation before you go: you may be asked at the border to show a return flight and proof of hotel booking. Carry evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, as this may also be requested.
Travel insurance is recommended for your trip but is not a condition of entry.
What happens at the border?
On arrival, be prepared to present your passport (or temporary passport). Border officers may ask to see proof of sufficient funds, your return flight, and your hotel booking. Romania does not require an arrival registration or entry card for this route.
