ROMANIAN CITIZENSHIP
Did you lose Romanian citizenship during the communist regime? Are you of Romanian origin and would like to regain Romanian citizenship?
Since 1991, the Romanian authorities have adopted specific legislation (Romanian citizenship law – Law No. 21/1991, republished and amended) for the descendants of ethnic Romanians to regain Romanian citizenship on the basis of their Romanian heritage. This means that many people can take advantage of the opportunity to obtain Romanian citizenship.
Former Romanian citizens who lost their Romanian citizenship for reasons beyond their control or who were deprived of it by the communist regime, as well as their first, second and third degree descendants, are entitled to file an application to regain their Romanian citizenship.
A person who wishes to regain his or her Romanian citizenship must meet certain requirements, including but not limited to the following
- must be at least 18 years old at the time of filing
- must be a person of good moral character, loyal to Romania and attached to the principles of the Romanian Constitution
- must not have been convicted at home or abroad for an offense that makes them unworthy of being Romanian Citizens
Romania allows dual citizenship.
Children under the age of 18 can be included in their parents’ application to regain Romanian citizenship.
The application for Romanian citizenship can be submitted directly to the National Citizenship Authority or to the Romanian consulates in the applicant’s country of residence.
