You might have heard that the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is accepting applications for the Romania Government Scholarship 2024. If you’re a non-European citizen and planning to stay in Romania for more than 90 days, you need to apply for a Romania long-stay visa. This visa is called the Romania study visa, and it’s part of the Long Stay Visa (symbol D/SD) category.
