About HowToRomania

Practical Romania guides for expats, remote workers, students, founders, and anyone trying to make the move with fewer surprises.

What We Do

HowToRomania collects practical, plain-English information about living in Romania: visas, banking, costs, cities, healthcare, housing, and the bureaucracy that newcomers usually discover the hard way.

The goal is simple: help you understand what to do next, what documents you may need, what things cost, and which Romanian city fits your life.

Who It Is For

  • EU citizens registering residence in Romania.
  • Non-EU citizens planning visas or residence permits.
  • Remote workers and digital nomads comparing Romanian cities.
  • Students, founders, employees, families, and retirees relocating to Romania.

Editorial Approach

We focus on practical steps, realistic costs, and local context. For legal, tax, and immigration decisions, use this site as orientation and confirm details with the relevant Romanian authority or a qualified professional.
