Romanian Embassy in Moscow

Russian citizens must obtain a visa before travelling to Romania. Whether the Romanian embassy in Moscow takes applications itself or through a visa centre is set out on its official website.

2025 figures: 143 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Romania’s embassy in Moscow, and 121 visas were issued. 22 applications were refused, a refusal rate of 15.3%. The refusal rate rose by 12.6 points from 2.6% in 2024, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 74% compared with 2024 (82).

Romania issues Schengen visas at 2 locations in Russia; this office handled 69% of their 208 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Saint Petersburg 4.8%, which makes Moscow the highest of the group. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.

Across all Schengen consulates in Russia, 6.4% of applications were refused in 2025; Romania’s rate worldwide was 11.5%. Romania received the 22nd largest number of applications of the 26 Schengen states represented here.

35.5% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. Romania only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of Russia.

The Romanian embassy in Moscow is one of 3 missions of Romania in Russia. Consulates: Saint Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don. Russia in turn has 4 missions in Romania, its embassy being in Bucharest.
