Processing Time

The processing time for a Romanian student visa is generally from 2 to 15 days. However, depending on your individual case and the time of year, it may take longer, extending up to 2 months. The processing period officially starts from the day you submit your application form to the embassy or consulate. After reviewing your application, the embassy will notify you of the decision regarding your visa status. It is important to apply well in advance to accommodate any potential delays in the process.

A Romanian Student Visa is granted for a maximum duration of 365 days. If your study program lasts longer than one year, you will need to apply for a temporary residence permit after arriving in Romania. This residence permit is essential for staying in the country legally beyond the initial year covered by the student visa. The permit can be renewed annually for the entire length of your studies, ensuring you remain in compliance with Romanian immigration laws throughout your educational program. Alfred Education Group will assist you in the renewal of your residential permit!
