Romania visa for Azerbaijani citizens

Romania’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities; the official site for it is evisa.mae.ro. Processing time, as Romania states it: 15 calendar days as a rule; up to 45 days when further checks are needed. Longest stay on the tourist visa: 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area; it cannot be turned into a residence permit.

Romania has 1 mission in Azerbaijan, with its embassy in Baku.

In 2025, Romania’s embassy and consulates in Azerbaijan (Baku) received 1,057 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 986. 6.7% of applications were refused. In 2024 it had been 1.9%: the rate rose by 4.8 points. Applications rose by 52% compared with 2024 (697).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 9.8% of the applications lodged in Azerbaijan that year, from 3.0% at the consulates of Greece to 26.1% at those of Bulgaria. Romania’s consulates worldwide refused 11.5%. Romania was the 14th most applied-for Schengen state in Azerbaijan.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. Romania only began issuing Schengen visas on 31 March 2024, so its 2024 figures cover part of the year. The figures cover applications lodged in Azerbaijan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Azerbaijani citizens planning a trip to Romania can compare how foreign ministries rate it: the US State Department rates Romania at Level 1, exercise normal precautions (updated 13 October 2025), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Romania (updated 18 September 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Romania (updated 20 October 2026).
