Irish passport holders enter Romania visa-free for unlimited stays as EU citizens. No fee, no advance application. A valid Irish passport is required. Romania joined the Schengen air and sea border zone in March 2024, so flights from Ireland (non-Schengen) still involve passport control, but EU citizens pass through quickly.
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Immigration Inspectorate (Inspectoratul General pentru Imigrari) for a registration certificate. The fee is RON 57 (about EUR 11). Bring proof of employment, self-employment, studies, or sufficient resources plus health insurance. A Romanian CNP (cod numeric personal) and tax identification number are needed for employment and banking.
