Do the Portuguese need a visa to visit Romania?
Entry into Romania for Portuguese citizens is visa-free, regardless of the purpose of the visit, be it tourism, business, or personal travel.
Documents required for a Portuguese traveler to visit Romania
Even though the Portuguese can travel to Romania without a visa, they must prepare:
- A valid passport with at least 3 months left after the planned departure date.
- Proof of travel purpose, like a hotel reservation or invitation.
- A return ticket or financial proof for the trip’s return.
- At least €50 per day per person as financial proof.
- Always confirm if additional documents are necessary based on your specific travel plans.
When should Portuguese travelers visit Romania?
For Portuguese travelers, May, June, September, and October are the best months to explore Romania. During these periods, the weather is mild, and nature is at its most vibrant. Spring is ideal for hiking in the Carpathians, while autumn showcases Transylvania’s forests in golden and crimson hues.
Summer is suitable for beach vacations along the Black Sea but expect higher temperatures and busier resorts.
Is medical insurance necessary for Portuguese travelers heading to Romania?
Medical insurance isn’t a legal requirement for Portuguese visitors to Romania, but it’s a wise choice. Unexpected medical costs can be high, and insurance gives you peace of mind. Visit the Visit World website for great insurance deals and terms.

4. Plan for festivals. Don’t miss events like the "George Enescu" Festival or Târgul de Fete for an unforgettable cultural experience.
5. Find quiet hiking trails. Discover the beauty of less-traveled trails in the Făgăraș Mountains or around Lake Bâlea.

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.

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.
