Nonstop flight time is approximately 3h 35m.
Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders enter Romania freely as EU citizens. A valid Spanish passport or national ID card is all you need. Romania joined the Schengen Area for air and sea borders in March 2024, so flights from Spain now arrive without passport control. Land border checks may still apply when entering Romania overland from a non-Schengen country.

For stays longer than 90 days, register at the local immigration inspectorate (Inspectoratul General pentru Imigrari) to get an EU registration certificate. The certificate costs RON 1 and requires proof of employment, studies, or sufficient funds plus health insurance. Processing takes about 30 days but the certificate is usually issued faster in practice.
