Romania to Senegal
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel, check that your ordinary Romanian passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of entry into Senegal. Arrange any recommended vaccinations before departure and consider buying travel insurance for your trip, although insurance is not required for entry.
Because border officers may request evidence of sufficient funds and a return or onward ticket, have those documents available when you check in and on arrival.
What happens at the border?
Romanian travellers may enter Senegal without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, a visa is required.
On arrival, immigration officers may ask to see your passport, proof of sufficient funds for your stay and a return or onward flight. No arrival registration or entry card is required.
