How to get a Romania visa from Ghana

• A tourist visa allows Ghanaians to travel to Romania for tourism or family visit.
• A valid passport is required for all overseas/non-EU visitors to Romania.
• Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your visit. (i.e., it will not expire sooner than your intended date of departure).
• You are advised to check the expiration date on your passport carefully before traveling.
• Some airlines (i.e. Lufthansa) may refuse boarding at your point of origin or while transferring planes if your passport is not valid for at least three months beyond your intended date of departure.
• It is now therefore recommended that your passport has at least six months' validity remaining before you set out to Romania.
• After your application, in most cases, you will be informed within 15 calendar days whether your application has been successful.
• Sometimes it can take up to 30 days if more time is needed, and up to 60 days in exceptional cases, for example if extra documents are required.
• For stays longer than 90 days, visitors need to need to apply for a temporary residence permit (either before arriving into Romania or at least 30 days before the 90-day stay expires).
• Depending on your citizenship, you may be required to show different documents at the port-of-entry.
• The actual duration of stay for this visa is not more than 90 (ninety) days, accumulated during a single visit - or multiple visits - within a six-month period.
