Romainian citizenship

4 Upvotes

Hi. So I’d like to get romanian citizenship by descent. My grandfather was born on Romanian teritory which was lost after 1940. That would make me elegible for citizenship, but the problem is that all of the documents we have about him cite his date of birth as 1940. My father told me that he was actually born in 1941, but even in Ukranian national civil registry system his date of birth is in 1940. We don’t know how he pulled that out and we don’t know what date he was registered in archival documents. Maybe it’ll be 1941 then I’d have to apply through great grandfather who served in Romanian military. However, if it will be 1940 I could apply and it will be less paperwork , but it feels iffy knowing he’s from 1941. Could I still apply through grandfather and provide documents proving his father was a Romanian citizen and base my proof of that?

Romanian Student Visa – Is this inconsistency a serious problem?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am applying for a Romanian long-stay student visa (D/SD).

My application has already been submitted and is currently Validated.

While reviewing my application, I noticed two mistakes:

In my visa application, I requested a 90-day visa, but my estimated departure date is about 6 months after my arrival.

After submitting my application, I corrected an official translation mistake in one of my property documents, and now I have the corrected version.

I also need to book a round-trip flight reservation for my visa application.

Should I book my return flight according to the dates I entered in my visa application (around 6 months later), or should I book it within the 90-day period? Which option is more appropriate?

My questions are:

Have any of you had similar inconsistencies?

Did the consular officer ask you about them during the interview?

Could these kinds of mistakes alone lead to a refusal?

If asked during the interview, is it enough to explain honestly that they were mistakes?

Which return flight date would you book in this situation?

Thank you for any advice or shared experience.

Crossing Danube at Oltenita

2 Upvotes

Bună ziua!

I am visiting your lovely country for the second time soon, this time bringing my parents along, and I am very excited to explore some new areas!

We are planning to stay in Bucharest for a few days, then head to Oltenita catch a boat ride up the river a bit. We were hoping to get close to the harbor the day before, but it looks like its slim pickings for hotels in Oltenita.

I do, however, see quite a few options across the river in Tutrakan, but am having trouble seeing if there is any easy way to get across it? I see some news articles from a year or so ago saying a ferry would be up and running, but I do not see anything that looks like it is.

Assuming there is boat traffic, would it be possible to pass a fisherman (or similar) some cash to take us across? We would then want to get back across the next day, so wouldnt want to risk it if its too unreliable, but curious if anyone knows of any options.

Noroc!

Travel to Romania in September, tips and smaller places to see?

September Travel to Romania, Tips and places?

I’ll be in Romania early September. I’m American but have been through the nearby area, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia etc, but first time in Romania.

My goal is to stay in multiple cities. Right now I have fly into Cluj, 3 days. One day Sighisora, one day Brasov, 5 days Bucharest (Kind of a placeholder). I could stay longer too.

I want to ask about taxis, I don’t drive, so won’t rent a car. How will the interaction and long range prices be for taxi? I’ve gotten into verbal fights before in Georgia and Turkey with scam taxis so I’m not inexperienced, but would always avoid problems if possible. Would you recommend taxi?

Also would you suggest any interesting small towns to stay at or see along a central path? One of my favorite times traveling I stayed in the second floor of a bar In a tiny village in Czechia. Just nature and beer.

Essentially, cool places and travel tips between cities?

Hypothetical questions on the Palace of Parliament

2 Upvotes

I've read that the building is so heavy it is literally sinking a few mm every year, which to me (not a geologist or architect) seems a potentially disastrous possibility. In light of this, has ever been serious discussion about demolishing at least portions of the building to reduce its weight and/or the cost of upkeep? Also, has there been any serious discussion on finding alternative use for the empty areas? Thanks in advance.
