FAQ- Study in Romania

Not always. Many English-taught programs accept students with or without IELTS (for example, a medium-of-instruction letter or a university English test), while some programs and universities do ask for IELTS or equivalent.

The long-stay study visa (type D/SD) costs 120 euro, paid in local currency at the embassy. After arrival, the residence permit fee is about 260 RON, plus small costs such as local health insurance (about 90 RON/year at one university). Romanian state scholarship holders are exempt from the visa fee.

Apply to a Romanian university and get admission offer. The university requests the Letter of Acceptance for Studies from the Romanian Ministry of Education. Pay at least the first year's tuition, then apply for the D/SD visa at the Romanian Embassy in Islamabad within 60 days of receiving the letter. After arrival, apply for the residence permit at the Immigration Office (IGI) at least 30 days before the visa expires.

It can happen, as the embassy may call applicants for an interview. It is not guaranteed and practice varies, so prepare to explain the course choice and funding.

Not on the student visa itself. Family reunification is a separate application and depends on the permit type and income.

  1. The Embassy of Romania is in Islamabad.

Yes, part-time without a separate work permit: up to 4 hours per day (about 20 hours per week) on an individual part-time contract.

No automatic PR for students. After graduation the student can extend the permit by 6 months (to finish formalities) or 9 months (to search for a job, business or employment formalities). Once the student have a full-time job contract and a work authorization from IGI,student can convert to a work-based residence permit. Long-term residence needs 5 years of continuous legal residence, and only half of the student time counts toward that.

Typically about 2,000-4,000 euro per year at most universities, with some programs higher (up to about 9,000).

Medicine and Dentistry are typically around 7,000-8,500 euro per year. Duration is 3-4 years for most bachelor's programs and 6 years for Medicine/Dentistry.

Typically about 2,000-4,500 euro per year, with some programs around 9,500. Duration is 1.5-2 years.

The legal decision period for a D/SD visa is up to 60 days. Apply at least 45 days before your departure date, but not earlier than 3 months before. Add the time for admission and the Ministry letter, so plan for roughly 2-4 months from application to visa.

Educational documents (FSc/A-Level and Bachelor's degree with transcripts) usually need HEC or IBCC attestation and then Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestation. Many universities also ask for certified translations and your university will tell you whether additional embassy legalization or apostille is needed.

A police clearance and medical certificate are commonly required for the visa file.
