Registration after arrival

3 days

A foreigner who entered Romania legally, and the person hosting them, must notify the territorial police within 3 days of entry or of the start of hosting. When staying in a hotel or other tourist accommodation, the foreigner completes the registration formalities with the establishment, which sends the data to the territorial police within 24 hours. The rule also refers to sending the foreigner's registration data to the General Inspectorate for Immigration through an IT application provided for this purpose. Failing to announce the stay is fined 400 to 800 lei.

Overstay penalties

90 days

Visa-exempt foreigners may enter Romania and stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Failing to leave Romania after the right of stay ends is fined: 400 to 700 lei for a stay of up to 30 days after it ends, 600 to 1,000 lei for up to 60 days, and 800 to 1,200 lei for more than 60 days.

If a foreigner misses the voluntary-departure deadline in a return decision and the illegal stay is under 30 days, the ban is 1 year.
