Children under 18 only need the same accepted travel documents as adults: a passport or national identity card. No parental consent letters or extra paperwork are required.

The Ministry advises travellers whose stay exceeds a tourist visit to notify the Romanian Embassy in Ljubljana via www.econsulat.ro or by email, giving name, date of birth and mobile number.

Travel insurance that covers medical needs and repatriation is recommended; a travel policy covering basic risks such as lost luggage or trip cancellation is also suggested by the Ministry.
