What documents do I need for a Romanian long-stay study visa?

The study visa file centers on your admission. You need the letter of acceptance issued by the Ministry of Education for full-time study at an accredited institution, together with proof that you have paid your tuition for at least the first year.

You must also provide financial documentation showing sufficient means of support, medical insurance, and a criminal record certificate. Applicants who are minors need parental consent. Applications are processed through the National Visa Centre or the online portal at portaligi.mai.gov.ro, usually within about 30 days for a complete file.
