About Romania
- Visas are not required for citizens of the European Community. For non-European citizens detailed information
can be obtained from the Romanian Ministry for Foreign Affairs or a Romanian Embassy or Consulate, to check whether you need a visa. If you do so
a personal invitation letter may be necessary (see annex documents right below), which you may obtain from the Organizing Committee. Conditions such as the remaining validity of your passeport may also apply. Here are some documents to assist you. We leave it under your responsibility that you check that these conditions still hold at the time of your departure.
