**How we know**

Every figure here is as eviza.mae.ro publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so.

Sources are listed further down the page.

## What to know before you apply

The programme is live and the digital nomad category is explicitly listed on the official MAE e-Visa portal under the 'other purposes' long-stay visa, symbol D/AS (not D/NM or D/AD as several secondary guides claim). The income test is a FORMULA, not a fixed number: 3 x the Romanian average monthly gross salary. Secondary sources disagree sharply on the resulting figure — variously 29,604 RON/month (~EUR 6,000), ~EUR 3,700/month, and ~27,600 RON/month (~EUR 5,400) — because they apply different base salary figures (INS monthly survey vs. the fixed gross wage in the annual social insurance budget law). No official page fetched publishes the resulting amount, so none is recorded. Duration is also unverified officially: secondary guides consistently say the residence permit runs 12 months and is renewable once (24 months total), but neither the IGI nor MAE pages fetched state this, so maxStayMonths/renewable are left null. A personal income tax exemption for digital nomads is widely reported but could not be confirmed on an official ANAF or MAE page, so no taxNote is given. IGI's English-language site has no dedicated digital nomad page; the Romanian-language IGI notice (published 4 July 2024) does cover it.

## What it means for your tax days

A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Romania's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way.

## Questions people ask about Romania

**Does Romania have a digital nomad visa?**

Yes. Romania runs the Viză de lungă ședere pentru alte scopuri - nomazi digitali (long-stay visa for other purposes - digital nomads), symbol D/AS (long-stay d visa is the entry route; the right of stay is then extended by the inspectoratul general pentru imigrări (igi). no renewal period is stated on the official mae/igi pages actually fetched — see notes.).

**Does a digital nomad visa in Romania make you tax resident?**

A visa and tax residency are different things: the visa lets you stay, the tax rules follow the days you actually spend. Check Romania's tax authority for the day test that applies to you.
