Romania's digital nomad visa lets non-EU remote workers employed abroad, or running a foreign-registered company, live in Romania for a year, with continued stay possible via a temporary residence permit issued by the General Inspectorate for Immigration. The income bar is steep: 3x the Romanian average gross salary, currently around EUR 5,500 per month, proven over the previous 6 months. Note the long-stay visa fee tripled from EUR 120 to EUR 300 for applications filed via the eVisa portal from 27 April 2026. Sources describe the visa/permit mechanics inconsistently (some cite a 90-day entry visa followed by a 12-month permit), so confirm current procedure with a Romanian consulate before applying.
