Visa InformationeVisitor Required

Max stay: 90 days
  • 90 days on each visit in 12-month period if granted.
  • May enter using SmartGate.
  • Transit without a visa is possible.
  • Approval rates for Romanian citizens remain by far the lowest of the eVisitor programme. Even in 2025, approximately 38% of applications are rejected.
  • Proof of employment, retirement, or enrollment in a university is mandatory. In the very likely event of being asked for financial resources, a bank statement from the last 3 months showing at least AUD 5,000 and proof of consistent monthly income is recommended.
  • If any of these conditions cannot be met, additional documents demonstrating intent to return to the home country are recommended to avoid visa refusal.
  • It is still generally considered a visa exemption, as 90% of eVisitor visas are automatically granted in less than a day for citizens of other eVisitor-eligible countries, with an overall approval rate of 98%. For Romanian citizens, the automatic grant rate is less than 30%, and the overall approval rate, including manually reviewed applications, is around 62%.
