A practical relocation checklist for American citizens planning a Romanian move.

Relocation Checklist

Americans usually start with visa-free entry, then choose a work, business, study, family, or digital nomad route for longer stays.

  1. Confirm your short-stay and long-stay visa position.
  2. Choose a legal route: work, study, family, business, digital nomad, or EU registration.
  3. Collect apostilled and translated documents where required.
  4. Choose a first city and temporary accommodation.
  5. Register residence, obtain CNP or fiscal code, and open a Romanian bank account.
  6. Set up health coverage, mobile service, and local tax support.
