With over 7 million people of Romanian descent living worldwide, reconnecting with Romanian heritage offers more than just a sentimental journey—it’s a gateway to unparalleled opportunities, including access to the European Union (EU). Romanian citizenship by descent provides descendants with the chance to claim their rightful heritage while enjoying the privileges of EU citizenship.

Door to Romania specializes in simplifying and expediting this process for individuals, offering an unmatched level of support and expertise

Romanian Citizenship by Descent: An Overview

Romanian citizenship by descent allows individuals with Romanian ancestry to reclaim their citizenship based on their lineage. Whether your ancestors were from modern-day Romania or former Romanian territories such as Bukovina, Northern Transylvania, or Moldova, this pathway reconnects you to a vibrant culture and the benefits of EU membership.

Unlike other citizenship pathways, this process requires proof of ancestry rather than residency or investments. By obtaining Romanian citizenship, you can travel, live, and work freely across the EU and enjoy access to its economic, educational, and healthcare systems.

The Two Pathways: Short Process vs. Long Process

The duration and complexity of the citizenship process depend on your specific ancestral connection:

     1.     Short Process (6–9 months):

        •   For individuals whose ancestors never lost their Romanian citizenship.

        •   Typically, this process is faster because it is an administrative procedure, requiring no physical presence in Romania.

     2.     Long Process (2–3 years):

        •   For those who gave up or lost Romanian citizenship in other ways and for their descendants.

        •   This process can involve additional complexities, such as submitting applications through consulates or in Bucharest. However, legal strategies, like court representation, can expedite the timeline by several months.

In both cases, the journey begins by securing the most critical document: a Romanian birth certificate or proof of birth in Romania for your ancestor. This step often requires navigating historical archives and understanding Romanian legal frameworks.

Gaining Romanian citizenship through heritage offers both tangible and intangible benefits:

Romanian citizenship grants you EU citizenship, allowing:

   •        Visa-free travel to 175 countries, including the Schengen Area.

   •        The right to live, work, and study in any EU member state.

   •        Access to high-quality healthcare and education systems across Europe.

2. Reconnecting with Heritage

For many, this journey is deeply personal. It’s about rediscovering and honoring your family’s roots while forging a connection with Romania’s rich culture, history, and traditions.

3. Path to Dual Citizenship

Romania permits dual citizenship, meaning you can retain your current nationality while enjoying all the benefits of being Romanian.

4. A Future for Your Family
