consular fee, payment modalities, visa application form, working hours) at:
http://www.afghanembassy.com.pl/cms/en/consular-services/visa-information.
Persons holding diplomatic passports should apply for an entry visa on the territory
of Afghanistan at least 15 days before the date they expect to travel.
South Africa

This state does not grant entry visas on the border.
Angola
More information on the entry visa in this state is available from the Embassy of
the Republic of Angola in Belgrade, Serbia: Vladete Kovacevica 14, 11000

Saudi Arabia
Romanian citizens traveling to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia need to obtain an
entry visa previously.
This state does not grant entry visas on the border.
Temporary passports valid for less than six months cannot be used to obtain a labor
contract in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, because such contract is signed for one
calendar year and to obtain a visa the passport’s validity must be at least six months
on entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In other cases as well (tourism, visit, etc.), the passport’s validity must be at least
six months on entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in order to obtain a visa.
Australia
If you wish to travel to Australia for tourism or business you can obtain an entry
visa either directly at an Australian diplomatic mission or online, via de eVisitor
system.
If you file your visa application directly at the diplomatic mission you will need to
pay a consular fee.
If you file your visa application via the eVisitor system you will not have to pay the
consular fee. In the case of travels not exceeding three months the eVisitor system
allows applying for and obtaining a visa online, without the applicant having to
travel to the diplomatic mission in person.
This state does not grant entry visas on the border.
Bahrain
This state’s authorities inform that Romanian citizens can also obtain an entry visa
on its border.
As of 1 October 2014, the visa can be obtained before traveling, using the E-Visa
portal: www.evisa.gov.bh. More information is available at www.npra.gov.bh .
Romanian citizens can apply for the following types of visa:
Page 10
Page 10/25
NOTE
1. Visiting: Based on request from a Romanian citizen a sponsor from Kingdom of
Bahrain will deal with the required steps to obtain a visa from the local Foreign
Ministry.
The sponsor will receive an A4 document from those authorities and will have to
send it to the Romanian citizen; this will serve as a provisional visa. On landing on
the Manama Airport the Romanian citizen shall submit this document to the border
police who, already informed of his arrival, will place the visa in his passport.
2. Tourism: Similar to case 1. This time the sponsor is one of the hotels in the
Kingdom of Bahrain at this link: http://www.evisa.gov.bh/VisaBhrSLEn.html.
3. Business: identical to 1 and 2, except the sponsor is a company.
Irrespective of the type of visa applied for (business, employment, visit, studies,
etc.), Romanian citizens are advised to avoid using a temporary passport because
the local border police does not allow entry in Bahrain on such a passport, even
when a valid entry visa has been granted.

We strongly recommend that Romanian citizens who wish to work in Libya refrain
from traveling to this country unless they have signed a legal labor contract and

have been numerous cases of Romanian citizens traveling to Libya to work, on a
tourist visa, and subsequently running into great difficulty to leave that country
because it is mandatory to obtain an exit visa from this state. The formalities to
obtain an exit visa can only be performed by the individual or legal entity that made
the original invitation, and our diplomatic mission has no avenue of providing
support in such a case.
Madagascar
1. The documents needed to obtain a tourist visa are:
- valid passport for at least 6 months after the date of departure from Madagascar
to the country of origin, with at least 3 empty pages;
- visa application form with all entries filled in;
- return flight ticket in original and copy;
- two passport-size pictures;
- hotel reservation;
- vaccination card for yellow fever if in the previous 5 days the person was in a
country where they were likely to get contaminated with yellow fever.
This type of visa (tourist) can also be obtained on the Antananarivo Airport, free of
charge if the stay is under one month. On the airport it is necessary to have the
passport, return flight ticket and vaccination card.
2. The documents needed to obtain a business visa are:
- valid passport for at least 6 months after the date of departure from Madagascar
to the country of origin, with at least 3 empty pages;

Page 18
Page 18/25
NOTE
- valid passport for at least one year;
- visa application form with all entries filled in;
- return flight ticket;
- two passport-size pictures;
- criminal history certificate;
- invitation letter from a business in Madagascar;
- letter from the business that wishes to send their employee to Madagascar.
In this case the visa must be obtained from one of Madagascar’s diplomatic
missions.
Malaysia
Romania and Malaysia have a mutual visa waiver regime for their own citizens for
maximum 90 days, for non-lucrative purposes. Any stay beyond 90 days,
irrespective of its purpose (marriage, studies, labor, visiting, tourism) requires
previously obtaining a long-stay visa. This can be obtained at one of Malaysia’s
diplomatic missions.
On the Malaysian border Romanian citizens will receive a visa (not tied to a
specific identity), in the form of a stamp in their passport; this gives them the right
to stay in Malaysia for up to 90 days, as agreed by the two states. Nevertheless
Romanian citizens should check, on the border, whether the Malaysian stamp does
give them the right to stay for 90 days or only 30 days, because some of the local
officials can reduce that legal stay period.
Also, we recommend that Romanian citizens who wish to enjoy the entire duration
of their stay carefully calculate the date when they must leave Malaysia, because
the stamp in their passport is for 90 days as of their entry into the country but does
not specify the date of the last day of its validity. Malaysian authorities are very
strict concerning those legal stay periods. Overstay can be punished by expulsion
from Malaysia or even detention, followed by expulsion. This is caused by a very
large number of foreign citizens who work in Malaysia illegally.
The Romanian citizens whose documents have been stolen / lost / destroyed must
file a complaint with the Royal Malaysian Police. Based on that complaint, after
obtaining the Romanian travel document (travel title/simple temporary passport)
they must report to the Immigrations Department to get an exit stamp (Special
Pass), which is valid for 30 days and costs 100 RM (circa 33 USD).
The Romanian citizens holding temporary passports cannot receive the 90 days
with multiple entries stipulated for the short stay. To avoid situations where airlines
might deny boarding or the border police might deny entry visa on the territory of
Malaysia, we advise Romanian citizens to avoid using a temporary passport in this
state.
