What changed
The Romanian long-stay (type D) visa fee rose from €120 to €300. The digital nomad visa is issued as a type D long-stay visa, so the new fee applies to it.
When
Effective for applications submitted for validation through the eViza portal on or after 27 April 2026. Applications sent for validation before that date were charged €120.
Source
The official eViza portal fee schedule (eviza.mae.ro/VisaFees) lists both amounts against the same long-stay category, so this is a genuine fee increase, not a currency or rounding difference.
Who's affected
Anyone applying for the Romania Digital Nomad Visa from 27 April 2026 onward, regardless of passport.
Action
Budget €300 for the visa fee itself. This is separate from the residence-permit and other costs charged after arrival.
