As a Romanian citizen, you can immigrate anywhere in the European Union, including developed countries like Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands, at any time without opening a residence permit or demonstrating income.
New career and business prospects

A Romanian passport entitles you to unlimited services in EU financial institutions, such as opening deposit and ordinary accounts in different currencies, making international transfers, obtaining loans and mortgages.

Who can apply for a Romanian passport?
Romania has a state repatriation program, under which those who have a territorial connection to the country can apply for a passport

Those who lived on the territory of Romania within its borders before 1940
Before World War II, some modern regions of Ukraine, Moldova, Hungary, and Bulgaria were part of the country. Residents of these regions (e.g., Bukovina and Bessarabia) can obtain Romanian citizenship without additional requirements.
Descendants of former residents of Romania
If at least one of your ancestors lived on the territory of the state within its borders before 1940 and lost citizenship due to territorial changes, you have the right to restore the lost legal status. Applications are accepted from descendants up to and including great-grandchildren.
Persons who lost their citizenship involuntarily
Many ethnic Romanians in the twentieth century lost their passport due to ethnic persecution, forced expulsion from the country, political and territorial decisions. If you are among them, you can become a repatriate.
Foreigners whose ancestors were or are ethnic Romanians
The program is available to direct descendants of citizens of the state, including those who have lost their status due to circumstances beyond their control. The only requirement is to prove that at least one of your ancestors holds a Romanian passport (or possessed one during his/her lifetime).

Availability of supporting documents
To participate in the repatriation program, you need to prove your belonging to the Romanian state or its people. For this purpose, you may need archival documents of your ancestors:
- birth certificate on the territory of Romania within its borders before 1940;
- documents indicating citizenship, such as archival certificates, passports, identity cards;
- certificate of marriage or divorce (if there has been a change of surname);
- certificates of change or forced loss of Romanian citizenship (if applicable);
genealogical tree (optional, may be useful to substantiate the relationship).

Testimonials from clients who have obtained Romanian citizenship
View allI needed to find a way to sell goods in Europe, preferably with minimal taxes. I heard from a partner that it was possible to get an EU passport through a quick and easy program and enter the European market with it. On my advice I turned to Mycitizenagency, where they checked my documents and surprised me with the information that I had all the rights to Romanian citizenship. The whole procedure took a little over a year, but almost all this time I just waited and did my business. I didn't think before that without moving and knowing the language they would give me a passport in Europe, but it turned out to be different. I thank Mycitizenagency for such a comfortable and fruitful cooperation
My relatives live in Germany and wanted me to visit them, but I could not get a visa. I decided that I needed to find help, and that's how I came across Mycitizenagency. The lawyers explained that the easiest thing would be to get a Romanian passport and go to live in Germany with it. Everything took about 12 months. I made a passport not only for myself but also for my children, and my wife has already received a German residence permit
Contacting Mycitizenagency was a breath of fresh air for me.) I really needed a European passport for many reasons, the main one being the ability to fly around the world without visa complications. Previously tried to naturalize in Spain, but my residence permit in the third year of life burned out, because I had to quit my job, and there was no other suitable work. The lawyers helped me to get a passport in Romania, which gives basically the same rights as Spanish, and I had to wait only a year for it, and I did not have to worry about moving, exams and everything like that) I also want to note the cool support: I was consulted literally at every step, there were no unclear moments at all.
I would like to express my gratitude to the specialists of Mycitizenagency! They quickly helped me with my request, without trying to advise me on something for an overpriced price or to bill me on top of the contract. I got citizenship in the promised time, yes, there are queues everywhere, but the specialists help me to get everywhere as quickly as possible. There were some issues with my documents: in the end the lawyers found everything themselves in the archives. The main thing for me is that everything happened legally and without huge investments. Let's just say that it was a perfect combination of price and quality
I liked the way Mycitizenagency worked. First, they gave me free advice, and it was good and detailed, not just streamlined phrases like “More for the money”. Then they drew up a formal contract, where they fixed how long the passport would be made for and how much it would cost. Further, I almost did not participate in the process at all, but I knew everything about it: the lawyers performed the necessary tasks and kept me informed 24/7. All I needed to do was to fly to Romania for the swearing in and get my passport, also with a specialist. Yes, I would also like to mention that I agreed to more expensive citizenship programs, but I was recommended the best one.
I received my Romanian passport in just 12 months, although many people I knew told me that this can't happen, it's a fraud)))) The lawyers explained to me point by point what laws we are guided by and why the procedure is so fast. I in these cases, frankly speaking, an outsider, so I was glad that there are such proposals for full support from A to Z. Now all my skeptical friends are signing up for Mycitizenagency after me))). From me to all your staff - thank you very much))
