Customs Regulations in Romania

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Romania. They have the right to stay in Romania for a period of three months from the date of entry. If you plan to stay for a longer period than three months, you can apply for a registration certificate issued by the Romanian Authority for Immigrants as either self-employed, an employee, self-supported, or as a student.

British Citizens planning to work in Romania should register with the Romanian Office for Immigrants and will have to provide an employment contract or a certificate issued by their employer. Separate work permit isn’t required. Besides, you can register as self-employed in which case you would need to provide an appropriate license. For further information on working in Romania you may contact with the Romanian Office for Immigrants (Oficiul Roman pentru Imigrari). 

There are also new work access regulations for British nationals who are family members of Romanian citizens and for family members of EU and EEA nationals. This information is also available from the Romanian Immigration Office.

If a British citizen has been a legal resident in Romania for a continuous period of at least five years then they can apply for a permanent right of residence certificate from the Romanian Authority for Aliens.
