Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter Romania in 2026. You must apply for a Romanian visa at the nearest Romanian embassy or consulate before your trip — there is no visa on arrival or visa-free access for Myanmar citizens.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Romania eVisa application Apply before departure | Apply for a Romania eVisa at evisa.mae.ro/en. Processing takes up to 30 days — apply at least 4 weeks before your flight. The eVisa is a single-entry permit valid for 90 days.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Myanmar passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date from Romania. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Schengen | Border officers at Bucharest Otopeni will ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen area within your eVisa validity. A flight booking to a non-Schengen country works — bus or train tickets are sometimes accepted but riskier. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask where you are staying — have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your Romanian host ready. A printed booking confirmation with your name and dates is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers can ask for bank statements or cash to confirm you have at least €50 per day for your stay. A recent bank statement in English or a credit card with sufficient limit works. | Recommended |
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take up to 45 days during peak season (summer). Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
Schengen rules apply
Romania uses Schengen visa rules. Your visa's validity and stay limits are the same as for any Schengen country. Overstaying can result in a ban from the entire Schengen area.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the visa online
Go to evisa.mae.ro/en, create an account, fill out the application form, upload required documents, and pay the visa fee. After submission, you'll get a confirmation with an appointment link.
2
Attend the embassy appointment
Book an appointment at the Romanian embassy in Yangon (or the nearest embassy if you're elsewhere). Bring your printed application, passport, photos, travel insurance, flight and hotel bookings, and bank statements. The officer will check your documents and take your biometrics (fingerprints).
3

Standard processing takes 15 calendar days. It can take up to 45 days if more checks are needed. You'll get your passport back by courier or you can collect it in person.
4
Arrive in Romania
At Bucharest Henri Coandă Airport (OTP) or any other entry point, go to the 'All Passports' queue. Hand over your passport with the visa sticker. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly — they just want to confirm you're a genuine visitor.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, if you're a Myanmar passport holder and you leave the international transit area (e.g., to switch terminals or stay overnight), you need a Schengen transit visa. If you stay airside and your connecting flight is within 24 hours, you don't need a visa. Check with your airline.
The Schengen visa fee is €80 for adults (about 380,000 MMK at current rates). Children 6–12 pay €40, and children under 6 are free. Fees are paid in local currency at the embassy.
A short-stay Schengen visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The exact duration is stamped on your visa sticker. You cannot extend it beyond 90 days.
Yes, Romania is part of the Schengen area (as of 2024). A Romanian-issued Schengen visa lets you travel to all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days total. Just make sure Romania is your main destination (longest stay).
You can appeal the decision within 15 days of receiving the rejection letter. The appeal goes to the Romanian embassy that processed your application. There's no additional fee, but you'll need to provide new evidence addressing the reason for rejection.
Immigration officers can ask for proof of sufficient funds. The general guideline is €50 per day of your stay. Have bank statements or a credit card handy. If you're staying with a friend, a sponsor letter plus their bank statement works.
Yes, you can apply at the Romanian embassy in the country where you legally reside (not just visit). You'll need to show proof of legal residence, like a work permit or student visa. Processing times may be longer.
