Romania ยท Digital nomad long-stay visa (D/AS)
Romania's digital nomad route lets non-EU/EEA remote workers apply for a long-stay visa and temporary residence while working for employers or clients outside Romania. We help you prepare consulate-ready evidence and a complete file.
Romania at a glance
Romania evaluates remote-work status, income history, health coverage, and documentation quality. We map your case to current consular and immigration requirements before filing.
3x avg gross salary
Applicants must show means of subsistence of at least three times the average gross monthly salary in Romania for each of the six months before application and for the visa period. In 2026 this is often around RON 27,000+ per month, depending on the official benchmark used.
Non-EU/EEA remote workers
Employees of foreign companies and founders/freelancers with foreign entities who perform work remotely using information and communications technology.
Romanian consulate + IGI
Start with a Romanian long-stay visa application at the competent diplomatic mission/consular post. After entry, apply for extension and residence permit with the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI).
D visa then extension
The long-stay visa allows entry and stay up to 90 days. For digital nomads, the first temporary stay extension is generally granted for 6 months, with further renewals possible if legal conditions remain met.
Exact requirements vary by nationality and consulate. Your NomadVisaReady plan specifies current forms, translations, and legalization needs for your filing location.
