Imagine holding a key that unlocks unparalleled freedom across Europe—access to live, work, and travel seamlessly within the European Union. For those with Romanian heritage or simply a deep curiosity about the country, Romanian citizenship provides that key. With a Romanian passport, you gain visa-free access to the Schengen Area and over 176 destinations worldwide, opening doors to endless possibilities. Whether you dream of exploring Europe’s rich tapestry or establishing a permanent home, Romanian citizenship is your gateway to a new chapter.

Why Romanian Citizenship?

Romanian citizenship offers much more than the right to reside in Romania—it grants full access to the European Union, one of the largest travel and economic zones in the world. As an EU citizen, you can:

• Live and work in any EU country with ease.
• Travel visa-free across Europe, making weekend getaways and business trips effortless.
• Enjoy EU social and healthcare benefits, ensuring peace of mind for you and your family.

For global citizens, frequent travelers, and ambitious entrepreneurs, a second passport is not just a document—it’s a life-changing tool for security, flexibility, and freedom. Romanian citizenship, in particular, offers a strategic advantage: the ability to navigate life in the EU while benefiting from Romania’s lower living costs and burgeoning opportunities.

Gaining Romanian Citizenship Through Heritage

If you have Romanian ancestry, the path to citizenship might be closer than you think. Romania recognizes the importance of reconnecting individuals with their heritage, allowing descendants of Romanian citizens to reclaim their citizenship.

Here’s how it works:

• If you have a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent born in Romania or in territories once under Romanian rule, you may qualify for citizenship.
• For individuals whose ancestors never renounced Romanian citizenship, the process can take as little as 6–9 months.
• If your ancestors voluntarily gave up their citizenship, the process takes longer—approximately 2–3 years—but remains highly achievable.

The first step in the process involves obtaining Romanian civil documents for your ancestors, such as birth, marriage, or death certificates. At Door to Romania, we specialize in uncovering these records from one of Romania’s 42 national archives, ensuring you have the correct and valid documentation to move forward.

Additionally, for cases where delays occur, we offer a unique service through our collaboration with the Memet Law Firm. By taking local authorities to court on behalf of our clients—a service most agencies don’t provide—we can expedite the process, often reducing the timeline by up to a year. With Door to Romania, you’re never alone in navigating this journey.

Other Paths to Romanian Citizenship

While heritage-based citizenship is one of the fastest routes, Romania also offers several other paths to citizenship:

• Naturalization: Reside in Romania for at least 8 years (or 5 years if married to a Romanian citizen) while maintaining a lawful residence permit.
• Investment: Significant investments exceeding €1,000,000 in Romanian businesses may fast-track the residency and citizenship process.
• Family Reunification: Spouses, children, or other family members of Romanian residents or citizens can gain residency, eventually leading to citizenship.

Each path requires careful navigation of legal requirements, documentation, and timelines. Whether you’re planning your route through heritage, investment, or residency, Door to Romania is here to guide you.

Why Romania?

Romania is a hidden gem in Europe, offering a unique blend of affordability, natural beauty, and modern opportunities:

• Cultural Richness: From the medieval towns of Transylvania to the vibrant streets of Bucharest, Romania’s history and culture captivate all who visit.
• Economic Growth: With one of the fastest-growing economies in the EU, Romania offers a wealth of business and investment opportunities.
• Quality of Life: Enjoy world-class healthcare, a low cost of living, and an inviting pace of life in picturesque settings.
• Strategic Location: Situated at the crossroads of Europe, Romania is the perfect home base for exploring neighboring countries and beyond.

For expats, retirees, and entrepreneurs alike, Romania is more than just a destination—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
