Schengen area
Indian passport holders need a short-stay visa to visit Romania as tourists. Romania is not served by VFS in India; applications are handled by the Romanian consular authorities, starting on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs eVisa portal. As a Schengen member, Romania works from the harmonised list of supporting documents for applicants in India.
Where to apply: Applications are not accepted at VFS. Start the application on the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs eVisa portal and follow its instructions for submitting the passport and documents to the Romanian diplomatic mission in India, which takes the decision.
