As an Ukrainian national you can enter Romania on a short stay status by presenting a valid passport at the Romanian border crossing point. Or you can be granted temporary protection for a period of one year, that can be automatically extended for periods of 6 months, for a maximum of one year, if the generating situation persists.

Do not worry if you do not have a passport. You will be allowed to enter Romania without a passport, by asking for asylum at the border.

All children coming from Ukraine are accepted into Romania. It is advisable to carry an identity document of the minor or a birth certificate. 

Minors don’t need the written approval of any of the parents to cross the border. As a parent, you don’t need the approval of the second parent for the child to cross the border.

Unaccompanied children are picked up by the team at the border crossing point and taken to DGASPC locations or to professional foster carers in the area, where they receive basic services, including psychological counseling, if the situation requires it.

Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 are allowed access to Romania if they meet the conditions for leaving Ukraine and for those entering Romania. Boys under the age of 18 and men over the age of 60 can leave Ukraine and enter Romania.

There is NO requirement to present a certificate of vaccination or valid PCR test to enter Romania from Ukraine. You are not required to quarantine either.
Also, it is not required to fill in the Digital Form for Entering Romania.

If you are a third country national (TCN) that resided in Ukraine and holder of a passport you can cross into Romania through the common border points and obtain a visa on arrival. You do not need to go to a consulate office first. Currently, TCN are only being accepted from Ukraine for transit purposes only. They must have a valid travel document and upon arrival at the border point they will get a Romanian transit visa for up to 90 days.

You can bring along an animal even if it is not vaccinated against rabies (or if the vaccination is no longer valid) or if the animal is not identified with a microchip/ tattoo. As the owner of the animal, you will fill in the Pet Location Form, and you will have to complete all the formalities and procedures after entering Romania.

Russian citizens will not need a visa if they have a residence permit in Ukraine. If coming from the Russian Federation, the Russian citizens will need a visa, but have no additional restrictions apart from the existing visa regime of any non-EU foreign citizen entering Romanian territory.

The application will only be processed first over the Internet on Eviza.ro, in order to get an appointment at the Consular Section.
