The DFA issued an advisory for all Filipinos traveling to Romania. They are advised to procure appropriate visas from the Romanian Embassy in Manila.

For tourism purposes, Filipinos need to apply for short-stay (tourist) visa. The Romanian Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reforms emphasizes that holders of short-stay visas cannot seek employment in Romania.

Short stay visa is based on a special procedure, via invitation, which does not permit subsequent prolongation of the right to stay in Romania. Although Romania is a member of the European Union (EU), it is not a party to the Schengen Visa Agreement.
