Electronic passport for Romanians living abroad (CRDS)

• Book an appointment on econsulat.ro – you must apply in person (no post, no proxy)

• Romanian birth certificate and, if applicable, marriage certificate or divorce decree (foreign certificates must first be transcribed into the Romanian civil register)

Visa and entry information for Spanish citizens

Spanish citizens can travel to Romania without a visa; a valid passport or national identity card (DNI) is enough. Details: Spanish travel advice (Recomendaciones de viaje).

Closing days

Like most offices in Spain, the embassy closes on public holidays; Romanian celebrations on 1 December (national day) usually mean a closure too. Regional holiday to note: the Community of Madrid Day (2 May). Around Holy Week and Christmas, call ahead.

Emergency assistance

In an emergency, Romanian citizens should call the embassy on +34 91 359 99 60. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Spanish authorities. The Spanish emergency number is 112.
