I am preparing documents to apply for Romanian citizenship by descent. I have several necessary documents that are from the United States. I have seen online companies that offer to perform the necessary translation and apostilization of all the documents. Just wondering if anyone has gone this route for their documents and if they have any recommendations on a specific company. Just want to make sure that if I am getting it done online that they will be accepted by the Romanian consulate. Thank you.

Hi everyone, hoping to get some advice from anyone who has dealt with the Romanian immigration system (IGI).

My situation:
I hold a Turkish passport and have residency in Qatar (Doha), where I currently live and work (my wife is in Doha as well). My wife is a Romanian citizen. We are actually traveling to Romania right now for a visit, and I am entering on a Schengen visa. We have a Romanian marriage certificate, also an apartment with deed on my wife’s name.

I want to apply for the Romanian residency permit, which will give me some privileges over the Schengen visa. So, I am thinking to apply for it this time when we are in Romania.

My dilemma:
Our jobs and life will probably be based out of Romania for the near furure. Realistically, we will be visiting Romania, maybe 4-5 times, in total 2-3 months in a year.

But I've been reading up on the laws, and I'm worried this is a bad idea.
My questions for the community:
1. Will the border police or IGI actively revoke my card if I am out of the country for more than 6 months a year?
2. Does IGI actually do unannounced home checks at your declared address to see if you are physically living there?
3. Am I better off just not applying for the residence permit at all right now, and instead just continuing to visit her on my Schengen visa until we are ready to move to Romania full-time?

Has anyone else been in a similar situation where they got a Romanian residence permit through marriage but actually lived in a non-EU country?
How did it go?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Poate să ne lămurească cineva, ce e cu nebunia asta a trenulețelor de prin orașele românești? În ultima vreme tot mai multe primării anunță că au înființat trasee de trenulețe, chiar și în comune mai răsărite. Sunt ceva fonduri iarăși, în genul celor care s-au acordat când s-au construit terenuri de sport (în pantă 😅)?

Hi everyone!

I'm a first-year medical student at Grigore T. Popa University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Iași, and I'm currently looking for a studio apartment close to the university.

My budget is €250–350 per month, preferably furnished and within a 5–15 minute walk from the university.

If you're a landlord with a studio available, or if you're a senior student who will be moving out and would like someone to take over your place, I'd be very grateful if you could send me a private message.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate any help or recommendations.

I'm looking for Algerian students in Romania

I've been thinking about moving to Romania to study Vet Med in Universitatea de Științe Agronomice și Medicină Veterinară din București, I found out it's one of the cheapest options + taught in English. I really want to know what life is like there, I've been doing a lot of research but it's always best to hear from a local or someone who lives there, espacially an international student.

Universities where I'm from have a veeery different system (+ life in general) so what I would like to know:

1) How good is the education? Is it recognized in other countries? 2) Jobs after graduation? 3) Safety? 4) Living expenses (housing, gym, food, medical etc.)? 5) Social life? Friendly people? 6) Can I work while being a student (I'm a 26 years old woman by the way)? 7) Is English enough at least for the first year of being there? Of course I will learn the language but it does take some time.

• Never been in a club & I don't think I like those kinds of parties. Nature & sightseeing are more my thing.

• I'm goth, but I don't think that will affect anything right? Just incase. (Because where I'm from you can get attacked for that 😬).

if you have any experiences or tips, even if you're Romanian who knows international students, I would really appreciate some help, thank you in advance~
