Your Path to Romanian Citizenship
By Naturalization
Romania welcomes individuals who choose to build a life here. If you’ve been legally residing in Romania, you may be eligible to apply for citizenship through naturalization. This includes those married to a Romanian citizen, retirees, and long-term residents seeking full EU rights.
While this path takes time, it leads to permanent residency and full citizenship benefits within the European Union.
Requirements
- 8 years of legal residence in Romania
- 5 years if married to a Romanian citizen
- Long-term residence permit
- Romanian language test
- Clean criminal record
By Birth or Descent
If you have a parent, grandparent, or even great-grandparent who was once a Romanian citizen, you may be eligible to reclaim Romanian citizenship—no need to relocate or give up your current passport.
This process falls under Articles 10 and 11 of Romania’s Nationality Law and is one of the fastest ways to gain EU citizenship through ancestry.
It’s ideal for those who want to reconnect with their heritage while unlocking full rights to live, work, and travel across the European Union.
Requirements
- Birth certificates and family records
- Proof of Romanian ancestry (parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent)
- Apostilled and translated documents
By Investment or Donation (Limited Program)
This is our most exclusive path. Through a strategic donation to a registered Romanian NGO—typically cultural, religious, or humanitarian in nature—you may become eligible for citizenship in just 3 years.
We only accept 8 applications per year, reserved for clients who meet our internal vetting process and wish to fast-track their EU citizenship through legal, ethical channels.
Requirements
- Investment or donation to an approved NGO
- No ancestry or marital ties required
- 3-year legal residency commitment
- Application accepted by internal invitation only

How It Works
Your Citizenship Journey
At Door to Romania, we simplify the path to citizenship—whether through descent, naturalization, or our exclusive investment route. Here’s how we guide you, step by step:
Citizenship Consultation & Case Strategy
We begin with a 1-on-1 consultation to understand your background and goals. Based on this, we build a tailored case strategy and recommend the most effective legal path to Romanian citizenship.
Document Collection & Due Diligence
Our legal team helps you collect, translate, and legalize all required documents. If needed, we also assist in locating hard-to-find birth, marriage, or family records through national archives or international sources.
Submission to Romanian Authorities
Once your case file is complete, we handle all submissions to the appropriate government institutions. You’ll be kept informed every step of the way.
Ongoing Follow-Up & Case Monitoring
Citizenship timelines vary depending on the method, but our team monitors your file, provides regular updates, and manages any clarifications or additional requests from Romanian authorities.
Citizenship Approval & Passport Steps
Once approved, we guide you through the final steps—citizenship oath (if required), obtaining your Romanian ID and passport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible for Romanian citizenship if I was born abroad?
Yes. If you have Romanian ancestry—through a parent, grandparent, or even great-grandparent—you may qualify for citizenship by descent, even if you’ve never lived in Romania.
How long does the Romanian citizenship process take?
Timelines vary:
Citizenship by descent: approx. 12–18 months
Citizenship by naturalization: 5–8 years (depending on status)
Investment route: 3 years, available by request (limited to 8 clients/year)
Do I need to speak Romanian to apply?
Yes—as of 2025, basic Romanian language proficiency is required for all citizenship applications, including those by descent (Articles 10 & 11) and by naturalization.
But you’re not alone. We’ve partnered with certified Romanian language schools (tečaj providers) that will help you prepare and issue the official certificate needed for your file. These programs are flexible, beginner-friendly, and designed specifically for citizenship applicants.
For our investment-based route, language requirements may be waived on a case-by-case basis.
Can I keep my current citizenship?
Yes. Romania fully allows dual (and even multiple) citizenships. You won’t need to renounce your current nationality.
What if I don’t have all the family documents needed?
No problem. Our team can help locate or request missing records from Romanian civil archives, including birth, marriage, and citizenship documents.
Do I need to live in Romania to get citizenship?
Not at all. If applying by descent or donation, you don’t need to relocate or even travel to Romania. The process can be managed remotely.
