- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Romania on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Romania but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
