Traveling to Romania: Entry checklist for French travelers
French citizens enjoy visa-free travel to Romania for purposes such as tourism, business, or private matters. You’ll need:
- A passport valid at least 3 months beyond your stay.
- Proof of your trip purpose (e.g., hotel booking).
- Financial means of €50 per day and a return ticket.
- Additional documents might be required based on your situation.
What travelers from France should do in Romania
1. Visit cultural events. Experience the "George Enescu" Festival or Târgul de Fete for an unforgettable Romanian adventure.
2. Explore salt mines. Turda and Slănic mines are must-see destinations with stunning underground sights.
3. Go off the beaten path. Hike in the Făgăraș Mountains or around Lake Bâlea for tranquility and nature.
4. Try Romanian cuisine. Dishes like sarmale and mamaliga are best savored in family-run eateries.
5. Discover hidden gems. Visit Râșnov Fortress and Maramureș villages for a unique travel experience.
Visiting Romania: When is the best time for travelers from France?
Travelers from France should visit Romania in May, June, September, or October. These months promise mild weather, vibrant scenery, and smaller tourist crowds. Spring is perfect for Carpathian hiking, while autumn brings Transylvania’s forests alive with warm hues.
Summer is a good option for those seeking beach vacations on the Black Sea coast, but it’s also the busiest time of year.
If you do not use the right of visa-free entry to Romania, you need to obtain an airport transit visa or a transit visa (type B).
Airport transit visa (type A) allows entry to the international zone of airports and stay at the airport before boarding the plane.
To import pets into Romania, all animals must have:
Microchip for pets. Your pet must be chipped with a 15-digit unencrypted microchip that complies with the ISO 11784/11785 standard.
Vaccinations. Your dog or cat must have a valid rabies vaccination after chipping.
Health certificate. A licensed veterinarian must complete an EU medical certificate for Romania 10 days prior to travel. If your pet is traveling from the United States, the veterinarian must be accredited by the USDA and the health certificate must be certified by the state Department of Agriculture office. If you and the pet are traveling to Romania from another country, the forms must be certified by the government authority responsible for the import and export of animals.

In Romania, a foreign license is not enough for you to drive in the country. In addition to your local driver's license, you must have an international driver's license in Romania.
This rule does not apply to individuals driving in Romania with a British license. A UK license is already enough to allow you to drive in the country.
If you are a minor, you will not be able to drive in Romania.
