Apply early — no shortcuts
Romania does not offer visa on arrival or visa-free entry for Indonesian passport holders. The online application is the only route, and processing takes 2–3 weeks. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months after the day you arrive in Romania, not after your departure date. If your passport expires in less than 6 months from your arrival, renew it before applying.
