This guide is written for egyptians planning to move to Romania in the official snapshot dated April 10, 2026. The clearest route is usually employment through a work authorisation followed by temporary residence.

Schengen membership changed short travel, but it did not remove the long-stay immigration structure.

Romania is relatively cheaper, but long stay still needs a long-stay visa and then a residence permit even after full Schengen integration. Prepare birth, marriage, police, and passport records with certified translation where requested. Check whether the destination requires legalisation, apostille, or consular certification depending on the document origin. In Europe you usually need a long-stay file from abroad and then residence or registration documents after arrival.
