Visa & Entry

Polish passport holders enter Romania freely as EU citizens. No visa, no time limit on stays. Bring your Polish passport or national ID card (both work). Romania joined the Schengen air zone in March 2024, so flights from Poland now have no passport control on arrival. Land border checks between Romania and other Schengen countries are expected to be lifted in the near future.

For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Inspectorate for Immigration to obtain a registration certificate. This requires proof of employment, study, or sufficient funds. The certificate costs about RON 41 (roughly PLN 37) and is issued within 15 days. EU citizens can live and work in Romania without a work permit.

Direct flights from Warsaw to Bucharest Henri Coanda (OTP) run about 1 hour 45 minutes on LOT, Wizz Air, and TAROM. Krakow to Bucharest runs about 2 hours on Wizz Air. Cluj-Napoca (CLJ) and Iasi (IAS) also have connections from Polish cities. Romania uses the Romanian leu (RON), trading at roughly 1.05 RON per PLN 1 or about 5 RON per EUR 1. Card payments work in cities, but carry cash for rural areas and small shops. No mandatory vaccinations. Bucharest's metro costs RON 3 (about PLN 2.85) per trip. Romania is one of Europe's most affordable destinations, with restaurant meals running RON 30 to RON 60 (PLN 28 to PLN 57).
