Relocation Checklist
Americans usually start with visa-free entry, then choose a work, business, study, family, or digital nomad route for longer stays.
- Confirm your short-stay and long-stay visa position.
- Choose a legal route: work, study, family, business, digital nomad, or EU registration.
- Collect apostilled and translated documents where required.
- Choose a first city and temporary accommodation.
- Register residence, obtain CNP or fiscal code, and open a Romanian bank account.
- Set up health coverage, mobile service, and local tax support.
