    Required

    EU, EEA and Swiss citizens staying more than 3 months to study don't need a visa, but they register with IGI. Bring the application form, your ID card or passport with a copy, proof you are enrolled at an accredited school, proof of money to live on, and proof of health insurance.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • No acceptance letter from the Ministry of Education

    The study visa depends on the Ministry of Education's letter of acceptance for full-time studies. Without it, the visa conditions are not met.

    How to avoid it: Wait until your university sends you the Ministry's acceptance letter before you apply for the visa.

  • No proof of paid tuition

    Applicants must show they paid tuition for at least one academic year. Missing proof means a key condition is not met.

    How to avoid it: Pay the first year's tuition and bring a clear receipt or bank document that names you and the university.

  • Not enough money shown

    You must show money at the level of the minimum salary for each month of your stay. Showing less does not meet the condition.

    How to avoid it: Check the current amount with the Romanian consulate or IGI and make sure your bank papers cover every month of your stay.

  • Medical insurance that doesn't meet the rules

    Insurance under €30,000, or insurance that doesn't cover your whole stay, repatriation, emergency treatment, hospital care and death, does not meet the requirement.

    How to avoid it: Read your policy and check the amount, the dates and each type of cover before you apply.

  • Passport that is too old or expires too soon

    A passport issued more than 10 years ago, with fewer than 2 blank pages, or valid less than 3 months after the visa ends does not meet the rules.

    How to avoid it: Renew your passport first if it is close to any of these limits.
