What Is the Romania COVID-19 Statement?
The Romania COVID-19 Statement is a health-declaration style document travellers were required to submit during the pandemic to record vaccination, recovery or testing details and contact information for public-health follow up. It was introduced early in the COVID-19 pandemic as part of Romania’s public-health entry checks and often existed alongside EU digital certificates and national health screening tools. Governments used these statements to speed contact tracing and to confirm that travellers met temporary public-health measures.
Historically you completed the statement through national health portals or airline/arrival PLF (Passenger Locator Form) systems; today most countries including Romania have removed mandatory testing or proof-of-status requirements for routine arrivals. If a health statement is requested again, you can complete it through official channels such as the Romanian Ministry pages and EU digital health services, or use DoVisa’s guided service for step-by-step help and document checks. Approved submissions typically generate an electronic confirmation (email/PDF) that travellers save for airline or port checks.
This statement is a health-declaration, not a visa or residence permit — it does not grant entry or replace immigration checks. Recent guidance from official sources indicates that proof of vaccination, recovery or pre-departure testing is no longer routinely required for entry to Romania; always confirm the current rule for your itinerary. The statement, when active, complements but does not replace passport, visa or Schengen entry processes.

Romania Entry Requirements & Restrictions
Passport Validity
Non-EU visitors should carry a valid passport for the duration of stay. Schengen rules require your passport to be valid for at least 3 months beyond the date you plan to leave the Schengen area; some airlines may also enforce a 10-year issue rule. See GOV.UK and Romania Tourism guidance.
Vaccination & COVID-19 Rules
As of the latest official guidance, proof of COVID-19 vaccination, recovery or negative test is not routinely required for entry to Romania. Check the EU Digital COVID Certificate pages and embassy advisories for temporary measures that may apply to specific itineraries.
Customs & Prohibited Items
You must declare cash or traveller’s cheques worth 10,000 euros or more. Meat, milk and many animal products are prohibited from personal import into EU/Schengen countries. Review Romania Customs rules and the U.S. Trade guide for restricted items.
Health Precautions
Routine vaccinations are recommended and travellers should be up to date with MMR, influenza and hepatitis A/B where relevant. Consult the CDC Romania traveller page for personalised vaccine advice before travel.
Medication & Declarations
Carry prescription medication in original packaging with your prescription. If you import controlled medicines, check Romanian regulations and bring a doctor’s letter where needed.
Travel Tips for Romania Visitors
Romania sits in southeastern Europe and is a Schengen-area country for short-stay checks. The busiest international gateways are Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca (CLJ) in Transylvania and Timișoara (TSR) in western Romania. Other international airports and seaports (Constanța) serve seasonal and regional routes — check your arrival port in advance.
- Best time to visit: May–September for warm weather and coastal resorts; late spring and early autumn for fewer crowds.
- Currency: Romanian Leu (RON). Major hotels and tourist businesses commonly accept euros; carry RON for local markets and taxis.
- Language: Romanian is the official language; English is widely spoken in cities, hotels and tourist services.
- Time zone: Romania is GMT+2 (Eastern European Time), switching to GMT+3 in summer for daylight saving.
- Health: No COVID testing is routinely required — keep routine vaccinations current and consult CDC guidance for individual recommendations.
- Transport: Trains and low-cost carriers connect major cities; arrange airport transfers from OTP and confirm pick-up times for late arrivals.
- Customs: Declare cash ≥10,000 euros and do not attempt to bring prohibited foodstuffs (meat/dairy).
- Safety: Watch for pickpocketing in crowded urban areas and secure travel documents when using public transport.
