## Important general notes

- Every Nepali-language document MUST be accompanied by a certified English translation — embassies will reject untranslated originals. Where this page's destination notes ask for an apostille or a specific translator, follow those notes; otherwise a translation notarised by a Notary Public is the usual standard.
- Income proof for Romanian visas: ANY ONE of the four Nepal-side income bundles is sufficient (Business OR Salary OR Pension OR Rental) — no need to submit all four. Pick the bundle that matches your active income source.
- Nepali ordinary passport holders MUST apply for a Romanian visa BEFORE travel — Nepal is on Schengen Annex I (visa-required countries). There is NO visa-on-arrival, NO eTA, and NO visa-waiver agreement.
- CRITICAL — Romania became a FULL Schengen member on 1 January 2025: a Romanian Type C visa is now a full Schengen Uniform Visa valid across all 29 Schengen states (Austria / Belgium / Bulgaria / Croatia / Cyprus / Czech Republic / Denmark / Estonia / Finland / France / Germany / Greece / Hungary / Iceland / Italy / Latvia / Liechtenstein / Lithuania / Luxembourg / Malta / Netherlands / Norway / Poland / Portugal / Romania / Slovakia / Slovenia / Spain / Sweden / Switzerland). For Nepali applicants this means a Romania-issued Type C lets you also visit Germany, France, Italy, etc. on the same 90/180 day-clock.
- Conversely — a valid + previously-used Schengen multiple-entry visa from any other Schengen state (Germany, France, Italy, etc.) lets Nepalis enter Romania VISA-FREE within the unused balance of the 90/180 budget. No separate Romanian Type C needed in that case.
- There is NO Romanian embassy, consulate, or VFS centre in Kathmandu. Online lodgement via evisa.mae.ro is the first step; ALL Nepali applicants must travel to Embassy Romania New Delhi (A-7 Aurangzeb Road, Chanakyapuri) at least once for in-person biometric capture and the visa interview.
- Single Permit framework (since 2014, harmonised with EU Directive 2011/98/EU) — combined residence + work authorisation in one application: foreign worker no longer needs separate work permit + residence permit. Adminstered by IGI for Nepali factory / construction / hospitality / IT workers.
- Common Nepali pathways: warehouse + factory work (auto-parts plants in Pitești, Brașov, Cluj — Dacia / Renault, Continental, Bosch suppliers), construction (Bucharest infrastructure, Brașov / Sibiu projects), hospitality (Black Sea coast resorts Mamaia / Constanța, Carpathian ski resorts Poiana Brașov / Predeal), IT (Bucharest tech corridor — UiPath alumni, Bitdefender, Endava). Salary range EUR 600–1,000/month for blue-collar; EUR 1,800–4,000+/month for IT.
- WARNING — fraudulent manpower agencies in Nepal frequently misrepresent Romanian work-permit availability. Verify employer registration on https://aurea.aviz.ro (Romanian Labour Inspectorate work-authorisation registry) BEFORE paying any agency fees. Report fraud at https://igi.mai.gov.ro and Nepal's Department of Foreign Employment (DOFE).
- Schengen post-2024 fee: Romanian Type C visa fee raised to EUR 90 (adults, from EUR 80 effective 11 June 2024) — all Schengen states harmonised this rate. Children 6–11: EUR 45. Children <6: free.
- Always disclose prior Schengen / EU / UK / US visa refusals — non-disclosure under Article 32(1)(b) of the Schengen Visa Code is grounds for refusal + future-application risk under VIS (Visa Information System).
- Nepal joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 14 March 2024 — Nepal-issued public documents apostilled by Nepal MoFA on/after that date are accepted by Romanian authorities without further consular legalisation.
- EES (Entry/Exit System) is operational in all Schengen states including Romania since 12 October 2025 — biometric registration on first Schengen entry; replaces passport-stamping on subsequent crossings.
- ETIAS (European Travel Information & Authorisation System) is launching late 2026 — Nepal is NOT on ETIAS scope (visa-required nationals are exempt). Nepali applicants continue with full Schengen visa applications under VIS, not ETIAS.

## How to apply (4 steps)

1. **Confirm Romania visa eligibility** — Check that your Nepali passport qualifies for the visa type you need (Tourist, Business, Transit, Medical). Diplomatic / official passport holders may have different rules.
