2. Right to access the data:

The persons concerned by the processing of personal data have the right to obtain from the controller, by means of a written, signed and dated request, confirmation as to whether or not personal data relating to them are being processed and, if so, access to such data, in accordance with the European legal act.

3. The right to rectify data:

Any data subject has the right to obtain from the controller, in accordance with Article 16 of the GDPR, without undue delay, the rectification (correction, completion, etc.) of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

It should be noted that rectification of data by the data subject, involving their modification, on request, when the visa granted is still valid, entails, where appropriate, the cancellation or revocation of the document.

According to the provisions of Article 17 of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller has the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:

the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed;

the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21 paragraph (1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing;

the personal data have been unlawfully processed;

the personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation incumbent on the controller under Union law or national law to which the controller is subject.

It should be noted that the deletion of data in the visa activity does not apply to the EAW for all situations foreseen in the GDPR, as not all of them (e.g. when the processing is based on consent or when the data have been collected for the provision of information services) are applicable or related to the EAW activity.

Where the data subject requests the erasure of data relating to him or her, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs controller finds that the data subject has valid visa applications (pending or approved applications for which the visa issued is pending), the data subject will be informed that the erasure cannot be carried out, pursuant to Article 17 paragraph (3).

Each request for erasure of data shall be examined individually.

5. The right to restrict processing:

According to the provisions of Article 18 of the GDPR, any data subject shall have the right to request the restriction of the processing of data relating to him or her where:

the data subject disputes the accuracy of the data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the data;

the processing is unlawful and the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use;

the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purpose of the processing, but the data subject requests them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or

the data subject has objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21 paragraph (1) of the GDPR - the right to object, for the period of time during which it is verified whether the legitimate rights of the controller prevail over those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted, the individual's data may, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the Union or a Member State.

6. The right to oppose:

According to the provisions of Article 21 of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to him or her pursuant to Article 6 paragraph (1) letter (e) or letter (f), including the creation of profiles on the basis of those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs processes personal data on the basis of the legal powers vested in it as a public authority and the exercise of the public authority vested in it. Therefore, the visa application of a data subject who objects to the processing of his/her data for this purpose becomes inadmissible, the application file is not taken over and the consular fee/service fee is not collected.

According to the provisions of Article 20 from the GDPR, the data subject benefits from the right to data portability and according to the provisions of Article 22 from the GDPR, the right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making.

Within the framework of the visa activity, the data collected in relation to the examination and issuance of visas by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs operator by virtue of its capacity as central competent authority, shall not be transferred to other recipients, even at the request of the data subject, as the working procedures inherent to these areas are clearly regulated by the European and national legislation in force, and it is not possible to use ported data. At the same time, the examination and issuance of a visa does not rely at any time on automated individual decision-making processes.

Therefore, in the case of visa activity, the exercise of these two rights by data subjects in the processing of data for the issuance of visas is irrelevant.

In order to defend their rights under the GDPR, individuals whose personal data is subject to processing covered by the GDPR have the right to file a complaint with the controller through the Data Protection Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Data subjects may also file a complaint with the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing at:

Address: 28-30 G-ral. Gheorghe Magheru Blvd., 1st district, zip code 010336, Bucharest, Romania;

E-mail: [email protected];

Phone number: +40.318.059.211;

Fax: +40.318.059.602;

Website: http://www.dataprotection.ro .

In addition, according to the provisions of Articles 78 and 79 of the GDPR, every natural or legal person has the right to an effective judicial remedy against a supervisory authority and a controller or processor.

For this reason, the U.S. Department of State – Bureau of Consular Affairs recommends that your passport has at least six months' validity remaining whenever you travel abroad.

For stays longer than 90 days visitors need to need to apply for a temporary residence permit (either before arriving into Romania or at least 30 days before the 90-day "no visa" stay expires). To apply for an extended stay visa please visit eVisa.MAE.ro Additional information are available from any Romanian Immigration Office

Schengen Visas validity in Romania

Romania partially joined Schengen area of free movement opening up travel by air and sea without border checks. Border checks will continue to apply for those travelling by land between either Bulgaria or Romania and other Schengen area countries. Effective April 1 2024, the Consulates of Romania issue standard short-term Schengen C visas, as per recent EU directives.   Schengen Visa holders do not need to get a (special) Romanian visa to visit Romania as long as number of entries and/ or length of stay has not been not exhausted. More info concerning Romania visa requirements / Schengen visa. The Schengen visa zone includes 25 EU member countries along with four non-EU states: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.

No immunizations or unusual health precautions are necessary or required. Romania has no infectious risks and there are no poisonous insects. There is no malaria in Romania. During the summer months mosquitoes are present in the Danube Delta and some low-lying regions. For your comfort take some mosquito repellent with you, if visiting Romania during the warm season.
