Romania visa rules for Thai citizens
Romania has been a Schengen member since 2025; short stays use a Schengen visa, while work or study needs a national long-stay visa, usually after the employer obtains a work authorisation.
Documents and translations
Romania issues Schengen-rule short-stay visas via the eViza system. Workers need an IGI work authorisation before the long-stay visa; Thai documents must be translated into Romanian by an authorised translator.
Applying from Thailand
Lodge through the Romanian embassy or its appointed application centre as instructed.
