Timișoara is in Romania, which is now fully inside the Schengen area, so the visa picture follows Schengen rules. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens and visa-exempt nationals (UK, US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia and most Latin American passports) can enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Other nationalities need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C): EUR 90 for adults, normally decided within 15 calendar days (up to 45 in complex cases). Apply online via the Romanian MFA portal (evisa.mae.ro) at least 6–8 weeks before the 21 October 2026 opening. Carry a passport valid at least 3 months beyond your planned departure and proof of accommodation and onward travel.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Apply through the Romanian consulate or visa centre covering your country of residence; eVisa pre-application is available at https://evisa.mae.ro/. A Romanian-issued Schengen C visa also allows short stays in other Schengen states within the 90/180-day limit. Fee is reduced to EUR 45 for children 6–12 and waived for under-6s. Passport should be valid for at least 3 months beyond planned departure
