Does Romania have provision for Retiree Residency?

No.

That is not true.  We are citizens of the USA and have retired to Romania and have a pensioner’s visa.

Great to hear. .please tell me how u did that??

Why would you say no?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

I would have said no as well, simply because the Romanian Government does not issue retirement visas to anybody.  They may well permit retirees to enter the country and apply for a long stay visa.

The Romanian Government website describes all the possible ways to enter the country; this link will take you straight there; you'll see that the word "Retire" is not a feature of the Romanian immigration system.

Be interested to know how you got a retirement visa though, it would definitely help others looking to do the same thing.

Hope this helps.

Asking me that question  does not help.
Have lived here 26 yrs n still see no provision for any 'retiree' Visa. Much  different from being a retired n having  'some type ' of renewable  Visa???
I am 'officially retired also.  So far that does not help with my  visas here..
22 or 23 since Jan of 95.
I have found  a secret provision  the government has kept well hidden..or?

Ooooops.
..NOT 'I'; but ?U?

In Romania, they have a status called self supporting or something like that. Basically it means being able to prove that you have the means to support yourself (and family) to a level equivalent to the minimum wage there. This would cover anyone on a pension from the US or UK.

Sounds interesting. Do u have any posted reference 4 this? And tanx.

There is good information online about this. Just Google "residency requirements Romania" and you should have all the information you need. However, this is the basis on which I am relocating so I know that it is accurate.  There will obviously be further requirements for non EU citizens.
