How this tool works
We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.
How we checkNo visa. Spanish citizens can enter Romania with a DNI or a passport.
Romania is an EU and Schengen member, so Spanish citizens need no visa and are not registered in the EES. The Spanish foreign ministry says: "Para entrar en el país basta un DNI o pasaporte español en vigor y no se exige visado ni vacuna alguna." It adds that Romanian border police can run spot checks within 30 km of the border, so valid ID must always be carried.
