Recent processing times for Romanian tourist visa applications

Schengen Visas
1

Hi team, I’m looking for some insights on the current situation with Romanian visas. Has anyone applied for a Romanian tourist visa lately?

I know they recently joined the “Air Schengen” agreement, and I’m wondering if this has impacted the processing times or the strictness of the application. I submitted my documents about 10 days ago for a trip to Bucharest and Transylvania, but I haven’t received any updates yet. Just trying to manage my timeline and recover from the stress of waiting! Any recent experiences or tips would be a huge help.

Greetings. History teaches us that transitions are often slow. Since the partial Schengen implementation in March, the consulate procedures have become more aligned with standard Schengen protocols, which ironically might mean longer wait times for verification. My group had a mix of experiences; some got it in 15 days, others took 20. Look closer at your application receipt—if all documents are correct, it is just a matter of patience. History lives here, and the bureaucracy is part of it.
