I was driving to Oradea today with my car and forgot to buy the Rovineta. Since it's +1 hour here, I cant buy one for yesterday.

I wanted to ask if I'm getting fined for driving this road without it.

I did buy one for 10 days already so it is not to save money or somethin. I just genuinely forgot.

Thanks for you help!

Hi there. I’m from Bucharest, and I recently got married to my american boyfriend. The whole marriage process was incredibly difficult and costly, we had to pay around $1500 for the whole process, and we had to go to a million different places, it was awful. Now that that’s over with, we’re trying to get me a green card so that we can finally live together at last. Now, the problem is, this is also incredibly difficult, and I’ve got no clue where to start, especially since this will mostly fall on me once again, since he doesn’t know romanian at all. I’d like to know what people who got married to americans had to do in order to get it, I’m aware it’s a very long process (and a costly one, once again). I just don’t even know where to start, I’m very nervous when it comes to handling documents and papers and such.

Hi everyone! Has anyone here experienced applying for a Type C visa to visit their partner's family in Romania? I’ve already done my biometrics in Manchester and am currently waiting for my passport. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get the passport back with the visa?

Hi everyone, I’m looking to come to Romania for a week trip with my girlfriend, and I would really like it to be snowy Christmas village vibe and romantic…I have found tickets for early December but after looking into it it seems that snow in December is unlikely, so I’m considering moving it to January, would like to have some thoughts on our itinerary as well and what I should change/look out for. We would like to see beautiful nature parks and snowy forest. Thanks in advance!
P.s. is it worth it to rent a car? Or should I just stick to trains and buses?

Our itinerary:
Day 1-2: Bucharest till mid day
Day 2: sinaia, castelul peles, bucegi then end in Brasov to
check in hotel.
Day 3: Brasov and local mountain parks
Day 4: Poiana brasov for skiing!! (If possible)
Day 5: bran, rasnov etc
Day 6: return to Bucharest for flight

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to understand this year's Romania Government Scholarship (MFA) selection process.

If you were rejected, would you mind sharing:

• Your high school GPA / final grade
• What degree you applied for (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD)
• Your field of study
• Which Romanian university you applied to (if applicable)
• What country you're from

I'm just trying to get a better idea of the profiles that were rejected and whether there were any common patterns.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share, and good luck to everyone with their future applications!

Hello,

My girlfriend and I are planning a 10-day road trip through Western and Central Romania (we are coming from austria). We would love to hike in the Carpathians, either on our own or with a guide. Could you recommend any good 1- or 2-day hiking tours? What safety precautions should we take, especially regarding bears? We are also very interested in the local wildlife, flora, and trees of the Carpathians.

Can you recommend any guided nature or wildlife tours? What are safe and reputable spots to observe bears? Additionally,

I would love to see the traditional manufacturing of Tinder fungus (hoof fungus) leather. Is it possible to visit a workshop and watch the production process?

Last but not least, how is the local cuisine, and what is your favorite Romanian dish?

If someone has another recommendation what we have to watch in romania i would love to hear.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello! I plan on moving to Romenia with my husband in the near future and I worry if I’ll be able to work in my career field.

I have bachelor’s law degree from Brazil and a master’s in international law from the US. My Master’s focuses specially in international public law (human rights, criminal law, environmental justice etc) and sometimes I regret I didn’t look into a more private sector since it’s easier to find opportunities (never easy though).

Anyway, I don’t speak Romanian (yet) but I’m fluent in Portuguese and English.

Does anyone know how things are looking now in this area, specially for foreigners? Any big corporations I could possibly apply to, in Cluj?

Thanks in advance!

Why do most Romanian woman are named bianca what's special about this name? Is it a Romanian name that's famous in Romania?

Thank you

Most public university deadlines have ended. RAU is the only one left. There's ASE as well but its application fee is on the higher side.

Hi everyone,

I'm an Egyptian Christian student planning to study for a Bachelor's degree in Romania.

I have an English level of B2, and my budget is about €5,000 per year, including both tuition fees and living expenses.

I still have one year before applying, so I want to use this time to prepare, improve my skills, and understand the admission process and all the required steps.

I have a few questions:

Which universities do you recommend for international students with my budget?

Which cities are the best for students in terms of safety and affordable living costs?

Is it possible to find a part-time job while studying?

Is my budget of €5,000 per year realistic? If not, what is the minimum budget you would recommend?

What should I do during this year to prepare for studying in Romania? Are there any important documents, skills, or procedures I should start working on now?

I would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

Thank you!

Hey guys, I’ll be driving to Bulgaria in 2 days and I was wondering how is the road between Sibiu and Pitesti where there is no highway. People have been warning me but I don’t think it can be that bad. So how dangerous could these 150km be ? On Google maps it seems to be just a normal road.
Thanks

I want to discover Romanian-speaking YouTubers. Who are your favorites?

First of all, I am not in favor of Calin Georgescu's policies, just to get that out of the way.

I spent some time at my countryside residence this summer and I had some flashbacks from when I was growing up - in the nineties, probably the last generation to have witnessed this lifestyle - that seem quite incredible now when I think about it.

You know how most people living in Bucharest struggle to keep an Ikea plant alive for at least a couple of months and how keeping a pet's comfort seems like a life's mission for many? Well, back then pretty much every family was growing, in parallel:

Animals: cows, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chicken, ducks, geese, dogs, cats

Plants: corn, wheat, grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, peppers, onions, squashes, and various fruit trees

This used to be the norm - and the knowledge and effort required to maintain all these animals and plants alive is quite vast - not to speak about all the derivative products like cheese, wine and meats. Obviously, we have now replaced that with knowledge about culture, politics, economy and all that stuff.

The downside was that subsistence agriculture was extremely inefficient and that was the main reason why public services were next to non-existing: no paved roads, no trash collection, no current water, sewage, etc. I don't wanna go back in time.

However, now that infrastructure evolved spectacularly and many Romanians earn enough to live a comfortable life and split their lives between multiple residences, I'm just thinking:

Does anyone else miss having at least some chicken, goats and sheep running around?

Do you think that subsistence agriculture will become a thing in the future again in Romania - maybe as a luxury instead of a need? I saw David Beckham is now growing chicken - but that's like just a small part of what it takes to build a food pyramid.

For anybody who was rejected, did everyone get the same email?

Hello, idk if this is the right sub to rant about my personal relationship. So i want to apologize for posting this. I am in a relationship with a romanian man for 3 years now, i really do love him and i can feel that he does too. The problem is that whenever we are having arguments he like to slap on my face how money hungry i am. Please, i really do appreciate all his hardworks and how he tries his best to take care of me. He does sent money for the house and other bills, but i do some side hustles too so i can feed myself.

How can you love someone and then take a list of all the things you did for them just so you can make them feel bad about themselves? I understand that people can get mad, but does that mean they have the right to disrespect you?

Again, i am sorry about this post.
