Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Original passport and current/previous Schengen page copies | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Passport issued within ten years, with at least two blank pages and validity at least three months beyond final intended Schengen departure. Present the original; provide copies of current biodata, Indian last page and available previous-passport Schengen entry/exit stamps. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Validated eVisa file, signed application and consular appointment | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Prepare the online file and upload legible supporting documents. Respond to validation requests, then schedule the available appointment and attend the competent Romanian mission for the Indian place of residence. Sign the form before consular staff and pay the current fee. This is preliminary online preparation followed by consular lodging, not an electronic travel authorisation or a verified VFS/BLS route. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Legible scans within the gateway file limits | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The public gateway states each document must not exceed 2 MB, uses Latin filename characters and accepts jpeg/jpg/tif/png/bmp/txt/rtf/pdf. Follow the actual current upload instructions; online files do not replace originals and copies at the mission. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: One recent colour photograph, 35 by 45 mm | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Use the current uniform-C specification: one 35 by 45 mm photograph taken within six months, with the head covering 70 to 80%. Follow the official facial-visibility and image-quality requirements; digital capture may also occur at interview. National-D two-photo/3-by-4-cm wording is not imported. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Already-approved original IGI invitation, lodged within 30 days of approval | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Present the original IGI-approved invitation for the actual private/business visit at consular lodging. The current nationality list marks India as subject to the invitation procedure. Lodge the visa application within 30 days of invitation approval; merely uploading or validating the preliminary file does not establish an extension. This guide excludes initial approval and exemption claims; the initial 45-plus-possible-15-day approval period is not the visa assessment time. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Inviter’s actual undertaking and removal-cost liability | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The approved invitation is enforceable for removal expenses if the invited person does not leave before permitted residence ends. Record actual lodging and cost arrangements; do not portray it as a nonbinding invitation or use personally paid hotel costs to waive IGI approval. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Original three-month personal bank statements, stamped and signed | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The current Romanian-linked common India annex requires original private bank statements showing movements for the last three months, duly stamped and signed by the bank. Keep applicant funds evidence; approved IGI invitation does not automatically waive this row. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Two assessment years of Indian tax acknowledgements | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide Indian income-tax return acknowledgements for the last two assessment years under the current common India annex. This is Romanian-linked Commission evidence, not another country’s local visa checklist. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Three-month payslips, employment contract and approved leave | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide all three: payslips for the last three months, employment contract and employer holiday/leave approval. These remain cumulative with bank and tax evidence. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Applicant covering letter and full itinerary | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. State purpose, duration, accompanying people if any, transport and accommodation. Romania must be the sole/main Schengen destination; preserve actual arrangements and intention to return. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Round-trip reservation and relevant internal Schengen travel | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide intended transport/itinerary and return reservation or ticket, with relevant intra-Schengen travel details. A reservation is not turned into a universal paid non-refundable ticket requirement. |
| India to Romania: nonrelative friend visit with an approved IGI invitation: Personally funded hotel accommodation for the whole itinerary | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide the actual hotel booking and corresponding accommodation evidence in every Schengen state visited. Make the hotel address and cost arrangement agree with the approved invitation. This guide excludes private-host lodging/sponsorship and does not assume self-funding removes IGI approval. |
