Romania eViza (Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
Schengen visa. Romania has no VFS or BLS centre in the UAE: you apply on eViza, then attend the Consulate General in Dubai or the Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
The link opens evisa.mae.ro — the authority's own domain. We are not affiliated with it and it never charges to view a status.
Can I check my Romania visa status by passport number?
No. The application is tracked inside the online account you created to apply, or with the application number on your confirmation email. Passport number alone does not retrieve a file.
How to check your Romania visa status — step by step
- Sign in to the account you used to submit the application; the status appears on the application dashboard.
- Check the email address registered on the account (including spam) — requests for more information arrive there first.
- If a visa is granted electronically, download the grant letter or e-Visa PDF and keep a printed copy for check-in.
What each Romania visa status means
Channel: Government online account. These are the stages you will actually see, in order.
The application and fee are received.
An immigration officer is assessing the file within the published processing time.
Upload the requested documents inside the account by the deadline shown.
The visa or e-Visa is issued to the account and by email.
A decision letter explains the reason and whether you can reapply.
How long does a Romania visa take?
For applications from the UAE, processing is usually 15 calendar days after submission, and up to 45 days in peak season or if the consulate asks for more checks. The status page only updates at the fixed points above, so days without change are normal inside that window.
Applying for a new one? Our Romania schengen visa service starts from AED 799 with a document check before submission — see requirements or apply online.
Status hasn't changed?
Compare with the processing time published on the official site before worrying. If the window has passed, use the enquiry form inside the account rather than a generic email.
Still unsure? Message our visa team on WhatsApp — we read these portals every day.
What the 2025 numbers say for Romania applications from the UAE
Decisions on Romania visas for UAE residents are taken by the Romania consulate in Dubai. In 2025 it handled 1,095 applications, issued 935 visas and did not issue 14.5% (15.9% in 2024), well below the UAE-wide Schengen average of 24.2%. A tracker that has not moved for several days is therefore not a signal on its own; the decision stage is where files wait longest.

Romania visa status — common questions
Can I check my Romania visa status by passport number?
No. The application is tracked inside the online account you created to apply, or with the application number on your confirmation email. Passport number alone does not retrieve a file.
How long does a Romania visa take after I apply from the UAE?
Processing is usually 15 calendar days after submission, and up to 45 days in peak season or if the consulate asks for more checks. The status page will not move every day — it only updates at a few fixed points, so a quiet week is normal.
Does the tracking page tell me whether my Romania visa was approved?
No. Visa-centre tracking only tells you where the passport is. The decision — a visa sticker or a refusal letter — is inside the passport envelope you collect. The consulate does not phone or email a result.
How do I check if my existing Schengen visa is still valid?
Read the sticker: "FROM" and "UNTIL" are the validity dates, "DURATION OF STAY" is the number of days allowed, and "NUMBER OF ENTRIES" shows MULT for multiple entry. There is no online validity checker for Schengen stickers — the sticker itself is the record.
Is it safe to enter my passport number on a visa-status website?
Only on the official government or visa-centre domain linked on this page. Paid look-alike sites copy the government design and rank in search results; a genuine portal never charges to simply view a status.
Can Global Visa Shop check my Romania visa status for me?
If you applied through us, yes — use our own tracking page and we will tell you exactly where the file is. If you applied directly, we cannot see inside the authority's system, but our team can tell you what a given status normally means and what to do next.
Paid sites copy the look of government visa portals and rank in search results. Before entering passport details, check the address ends in an official domain — the one linked above is evisa.mae.ro. A genuine portal never charges to simply view a status.
