What documents do I need to apply for long-term residence in Romania?

When you apply to IGI you will need to prove you still hold a valid right to stay in Romania and that you meet the conditions for the status. The core documents are proof of accommodation, proof of social health insurance, and evidence of sufficient, stable financial means to support yourself.

You will also need a Romanian criminal record certificate and relevant civil-status documents (such as marriage or birth certificates where they apply). Family members of Romanian citizens are exempt from the financial-means requirement. Prepare originals and certified translations where required, and submit a complete file to avoid delays.
