Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: MCT
Book into Timisoara Traian Vuia International Airport (TSR) if your origin has a suitable connection; otherwise route through a European hub such as Vienna (VIE), Munich or Bucharest (OTP) for an onward flight to TSR. Only MCT/DXB/AUH routing samples were captured in this run, so treat those as indicative long-haul benchmarks and not as Timisoara fares. Because Industry Expo & B2B Meetings is a single-day event on 5 November 2026, arrival windows are tight: aim to land the day before and book early.
Visa
Romania applies Schengen-area short-stay rules; visa-free nationals may attend Industry Expo & B2B Meetings on a business visit, while visa-required nationalities need a Schengen C visa issued by Romanian authorities before travel. Confirm your nationality-specific rule with the Romanian embassy, as this run returned no official visa URL.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
No official visa source was captured in this run; verify Romanian entry rules on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs site or via your local Romanian embassy before travelling to Timisoara.
