Romania Tourist Visa For Filipinos/ Philippine Passport Holders
As per most countries, a valid passport is required for travelers overseas that are non-EU visitors. Before applying for a Romania Tourist Visa, it is important that you check the expiration date carefully before traveling to Europe.
Most airlines such as Lufthansa may refuse to let you board at your point of origin or while transferring planes. Make sure that your passport is valid at least six months before your extended date of departure.
You can apply for a Romania Tourist Visa by going to the E-Visa portal. The visa application along with the passport must be submitted in person by the applicant or by a third person such a travel agent.
Mailing to the embassy is not permitted as all arrangements with third persons are not the responsibility of the embassy. However, there is no need for an official power of attorney when delegating the submission of your visa application.
