How long does it take to process the Romanian Commercial Activities visa?

Once your complete request is received, the standard handling period is up to 30 days. Where additional verification is needed, this can be extended by up to a further 15 days.

This timeline applies to the visa decision only and assumes your file is complete. The earlier business-plan endorsement is a separate step that happens before the visa request and adds its own lead time.

Because the residence-permit stage after arrival is also time-sensitive, plan the whole sequence, prior approval, visa, then residence permit, rather than treating each as isolated.
