Romania visa for Tunisian 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 2 missions in Tunisia, with its embassy in Tunis. Consulates: Tunis.

In 2025, Romania’s embassy and consulates in Tunisia (Tunis) received 527 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 409. The refusal rate was 21.9%. The refusal rate fell by 6.3 points from 28.2% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 22% compared with 2024 (432).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 19.6% of the applications lodged in Tunisia that year, from 15.4% at the consulates of France to 46.3% at those of the Czech Republic. Romania’s consulates worldwide refused 11.5%. Romania was the 15th most applied-for Schengen state in Tunisia.

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 Tunisia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Tunisia to Romania, the published travel advice reads as follows: 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).
