You can obtain EU citizenship through repatriation in Romania quickly and relatively inexpensively. This method truly demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of acquiring Romanian citizenship for Russians. The simplified program has been in effect for more than 20 years. To use it, you need to document the presence of ancestors who lived in a certain period in Romania. Ask immigration lawyers for individual conditions for participation in the program during a free consultation.

Can a Russian without roots obtain Romanian citizenship?
It happens that if the story of Romanian origin is not entirely clear, specialists study family archives with special care and make inquiries to authorities at different levels. This method helps to more accurately check the possibility of participation in the simplified program than others. Even if this procedure turns out to be inaccessible to the applicant, migration specialists are required to look for an alternative, because there are many residency programs.
Citizenship acquisition programs similar to the Romanian one also operate in countries such as Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, and Finland. Their conditions may vary, individual programs are terminated or modified, but instead of them, other, similar ones are activated, under which it is also possible to obtain EU citizenship in a short time.
How much does registration cost from A to Z?
The price is calculated individually and depends on the state of the case. At a free consultation, migration specialists will conduct an analysis, find out the possibility of participating in the program and announce the cost of obtaining a Romanian passport.
How can a Russian citizen obtain Romanian citizenship?
Russians can obtain Romanian citizenship under a simplified program, based on a certain algorithm of actions. The first stage involves consultation with a migration specialist who will provide all the necessary information on the procedure free of charge. Further, each situation is analyzed individually.
The second stage is compiling a dossier with a minimum package of documents. At the same time, the date on which the documents will be transferred to the Ministry of Justice of Romania is fixed. Usually you have to wait in line for about two months.
The third stage is the actual submission of documents, which requires the personal presence of the applicant for Romanian citizenship. He has to go to Bucharest. All actions are carried out accompanied by a lawyer who carefully monitors compliance with the rules and regulations of the law and provides comprehensive support. After entering the documentation into the database, the applicant for Romanian citizenship is provided with a DOSAR registration number.
The fourth stage can be called waiting for the order to be issued. During this period, the identity of the applicant for citizenship is verified. There is no need to sit idly by either; it is important to learn the Romanian language at least at a basic level. Thus, in the future it will be much easier to take the oath to obtain citizenship. Specialists also provide assistance in this case.
Learning a language is made easier by the fact that today it can be done online. In six months, during which documents are usually reviewed, it is possible to reach a level sufficient to take the oath in Bucharest and basic communication.
The fifth stage is the second trip to Bucharest to take the oath. Within a month, Romanian officials send a registered letter to the applicant’s registered address and invite him to take the oath within a certain time frame. Alternatively, all necessary arrangements can be made at the Romanian Embassy or Consulate. If the oath is passed successfully, the future citizen is given a certificate confirming this fact. All that remains is to go through the sixth stage - to issue and receive internal Romanian documents: birth and marriage certificates, Romanian registration and ID-card. The driver's license must be replaced with a similar European license.
