Step-by-step process of obtaining Romanian citizenship
Consultation with Pravostandart representatives
When contacting Pravostandart, you receive professional consultation from specialists in migration law. At this stage, you provide the basic package of documents required to initiate the Romanian citizenship processing procedure.
Preparation of the dossier
The lawyers prepare the complete dossier: they collect the missing documents, arrange for translation of the dossier into Romanian, and ensure notarization for subsequent submission.
Submission to government authorities
The collected and properly prepared dossier is submitted to the National Authority for Citizenship. The transfer of documents is carried out by a Pravostandart lawyer and concludes with the issuance of a dosar number for tracking the review of the application.
Obtaining citizenship
After verification of the submitted information and official approval by the citizenship authority, the applicant is granted the status of a Romanian citizen and issued a certificate of citizenship.
Issuance of internal documents
At the final stage, the specialists assist in obtaining all necessary internal documents of a European Union citizen for full residence and employment in EU countries, including the Romanian international passport for visa-free travel worldwide.
Ways of obtaining Romanian citizenship
Repatriation
Romania provides for a simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship for foreign nationals whose ancestors were born or resided in territories historically forming part of Romania. Upon confirmation of territorial affiliation, the applicant may restore citizenship without the requirement of long-term residence in the country. This program has been in effect since 1991 and is the fastest way to obtain a Romanian passport.
Naturalization
The classical path of legalization through naturalization presupposes mandatory permanent residence in Romania. The procedure takes up to eight years, which is significantly faster than in a number of other EU countries, where obtaining citizenship may take ten years or more.
Investment
Unlike a number of other European Union states, Romania does not offer direct citizenship-by-investment programs. However, investors may obtain a residence permit and subsequently apply for naturalization. Such investments may be directed into real estate, business, or other assets, thereby ensuring lawful stay and the possibility of further status processing.

Answers to frequently asked questions
Does Romanian citizenship grant the right to work in other EU countries?
Yes. Romanian citizens enjoy the same rights as citizens of other European Union countries. This means free employment in any EU country without the need to obtain additional permits or work visas.
To which countries can one travel visa-free with a Romanian passport?

Can a spouse obtain Romanian citizenship together with the applicant?
Yes, the processing also extends to family members. A spouse is entitled to a shortened citizenship acquisition procedure upon confirmation of the marriage, and minor children may be included in the parent’s application.
Will my current citizenship be retained after obtaining a Romanian passport?
Yes, Romanian legislation permits dual citizenship. This means that you retain your country’s passport while simultaneously acquiring the status of a citizen of Romania and the EU.
How long does the processing of Romanian citizenship take?
The timeframe depends on the legal ground. Repatriation takes on average from 12 months. Naturalization requires more time — from 8 years of residence in the country.
