Romania
Destination Guide
Romania joined the Hague Apostille Convention on August 16, 2017, making MOFA apostille the correct certification for Korean documents submitted to Romanian authorities for documents issued after that date — no Romanian Embassy legalization is required. Romanian is the official language and all official translations must be certified. Romania is attracting growing Korean investment in the automotive and electronics supply chain. Korean nationals applying for a Long Stay D Visa, Employee Card, or EU Blue Card through Romania's General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI), studying at the University of Bucharest or Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, registering a civil status event, or conducting business require apostilled Korean documents with certified Romanian translation.
Step-by-step instructions for each Korean document you need apostilled for Romania.
Does Romania accept MOFA apostille for Korean documents?
Yes. Romania joined the Hague Convention on August 16, 2017. MOFA-apostilled Korean documents are accepted by Romanian authorities including IGI (General Inspectorate for Immigration), registry offices (Stare Civilă), courts, and universities. No Romanian Embassy legalization in Seoul is required.
What Korean documents do I need for a Romanian Long Stay D Visa or Employee Card?
A Romanian Long Stay D Visa for employment requires apostilled Korean academic credentials and criminal background check with certified Romanian translation, alongside your employment contract and other sponsor documents. The Employee Card (Permis de ședere) is then issued by IGI after entry.
What Korean documents are needed for marriage registration in Romania?
Romanian civil registry offices (Stare Civilă) require apostilled Korean civil status documents — typically a birth certificate (기본증명서) and a certificate of marital status (confirming no current marriage) — both with certified Romanian translation.
