Processing takes up to 30 days. Don't wait until the last minute — the fee is non-refundable even if your application is rejected.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to evisa.mae.ro/en, fill out the application, upload your passport scan and a recent photo, and pay the €80 fee. Processing takes up to 30 days — apply at least 4 weeks before your flight.
2
Book your travel and accommodation
Book a return or onward ticket and your first night's accommodation. Keep digital copies on your phone — immigration at Henri Coandă Airport may ask to see them.
3
Pack your documents
Print or save on your phone: eVisa approval, passport, return ticket, hotel booking, bank statement, and travel insurance. Keep them together in a folder.

Arrive at the airport in Bangladesh
At check-in, the airline will verify your passport validity (6+ months) and your eVisa. They may also ask for your return ticket. If everything is in order, you'll get your boarding pass.

Go through immigration in Bucharest
At Henri Coandă Airport, join the queue for non-EU passports. Hand over your passport and eVisa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof. Answer clearly — they usually ask 'How long are you staying?' and 'Where are you staying?'

Collect your luggage and exit
After passing immigration, collect your bags from the carousel and walk through customs. There are no further checks unless you're carrying restricted items.
