Travel Advisory for Romania

23 June 2008 – Filipinos traveling to Romania are advised to procure appropriate visas from the Romanian Embassy in Manila.

For tourism purposes, Filipinos need to apply for short-stay (tourist) visa. The Romanian Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reforms emphasizes that holders of short-stay visas cannot seek employment in Romania. Short stay visa is based on a special procedure, via invitation, which does not permit subsequent prolongation of the right to stay in Romania.

Although Romania is a member of the European Union (EU), it is not a party to the Schengen Visa Agreement.
