How to acquire Romanian citizenship

Romanian citizenship can be acquired in the following ways:

Birth: Children born to Romanian citizens are Romanian citizens, regardless of where they are born. Note: It is not necessary for both parents to be Romanian. Having just one parent or even a grandparent who was a Romanian citizen can provide a pathway for acquiring or reacquiring Romanian citizenship, depending on the specific circumstances.
Adoption: A foreign national can obtain Romanian citizenship by adoption if the adopters are Romanian citizens.
Naturalization: A foreign national can acquire Romanian citizenship by naturalization if they meet the following criteria:
- They have been lawfully living in Romania for at least 8 years (or 5 years if married to a Romanian citizen).
- They have good behavior and no criminal convictions.
- They have sufficient financial means to support themselves.
- They have knowledge of the Romanian language and culture.
- They swear allegiance to Romania.

How to reacquire Romanian citizenship

Former Romanian citizens who have lost their citizenship before December 1989 can reacquire it if they meet the following criteria:

They have good behavior and no criminal convictions.
They have sufficient financial means to support themselves.
They have knowledge of the Romanian language and culture.
They swear allegiance to Romania.

The citizenship application process

The application for Romanian citizenship is submitted to the National Citizenship Authority. The application is then reviewed by a commission, which may interview the applicant and request additional information. If the application is approved, the applicant must take the oath of allegiance to Romania.

Other ways to acquire Romanian citizenship

In addition to naturalization and reacquisition, there are a few other ways to acquire Romanian citizenship, such as through investment or by being an internationally recognized personality.
