@keeps5 Military contractor? If so, you're covered under the SOFA. Your Host Nation Liaison can get you set up with a CNP. Then just register the car after getting insurance. Read More

Living in Romania? 大咖福利影院 needs you! by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Hope you are doing well. We are currently looking for volunteers to help the expat community in Romania. If you are interested in helping the other members in your spare time, answering their queries and sharing useful ...
I'm not sure how much help I would be, since I've only been living here since April. Although, I am married to a Romanian, and have been in and out of Romania since 2003, so maybe not totally useless. It'll depend on the sort of help ... Read More

I'm not currently in Romania, but my wife and son are. They're pretty much locked down, with police stopping them and questioning if they go out to the store or whatever. I haven't seen them since January, so we make do with Messenger ... Read More

Are you friendly enough with anyone who can do the talking for you? (I let my wife do all the expensive negotiations. A) she's Romanian, and B) Americans can't haggle worth a dang or, at least, not as well as a native Romanian.) Read More
Connecting flights to Romania by tintin_mcns
Hi, I'm already checking online for flights going to Romania because by October I'm gonna be applying for visit visa for my December trip this year. As much as possible my Romanian partner and I would like to avail cheap flights to save ...
On the Germany-Romania leg: When scheduling the flights, be sure to have enough layover time between connections. At least a full hour, and I'd suggest more. If the final connection is with BlueAir, definitely more. They are notoriously ... Read More

I'd have to go with Sibiu for no reason I can think of. Actually, outside of Sibiu somewhere. Close enough to have the benefits of a city, but without having to deal with city life. My wife would say Bra葯ov, but that's probably just ... Read More
Bringing a car to Romania by MyNamesJan
Hi everyone and nice to meet you, I am planning to move to Bucharest at the end of this month and wanted to ask a few questions regarding bringing a car to Romania. I went through several threads and believe that nothing has changed in the space ...
No port for me. I'll just drive down and park it in front of my apartment. I'm living in Germany at the moment. :D I won't be able to do much, other than that, until I get my RO license, of course. That's the easy part. The ... Read More

Hello everyone! I am planning to get married with my Romanian partner, and I was wondering about the church wedding. We already have the civil marriage figured out according to Romanian legislation and formalities. My question is, as a former ...
I had no trouble, even being an informal lapsed Baptist. But I had to read aloud something or other swearing to this that and the other thing. I have no idea what it was - the priest only had it in Romanian and German. I chose German because I ... Read More

Hi all i have just joined this site as i need some advice on something, I have just married a Romanian woman i have been with for 2 years, she says she thinks that we need to register our wedding in Romania, but i dont think we do, I am British and ...
Honestly, we found it easiest to get married in Romania AND the US. Everybody gets their own paperwork in their own language, everyone is happy. (And Romanian weddings are fun ;) ) Also, your child will also be a Romanian citizen, even if born in ... Read More

All we had was her expired RO passport. So they gave her a new one...still using her maiden name. As if she was just some random stranded Romanian. They wouldn't make one with her married name. She had to do that in Romania. And that was ... Read More

No help, but when my wife needed a new RO passport, we just went to the embassy in DC and got it. Maybe they rushed it for her because we had to go right then because her father was sick... Read More
Certified marriage license...
Had the same problem going the other way; Texas didn't like the Romanian paperwork, despite it being in Romanian, French, and English. Honestly, it's easier just getting married again. My wife and I have done it three times: Romania, ... Read More

When I married my wife, I didn't need anything other than the passport, birth certificate, blood test, and I just swore at a notary in Romania that I wasn't married. If I had been married, I would have needed the divorce papers. And a ... Read More
American food products by JohnnyStLouis
I imagine there are a couple places in Bucuresti that might carry American food products for that occasional treat. Any guidance?
And watch out for US products that are made locally (or in Europe in general) under license. They're not the same. For instance, Dr Pepper tastes like [insert bad word here]. I'm strongly considering buying bulk syrup from the 'States ... Read More
Retiring in Romania by GenJerDan

Dollar accounts, too. At least Transilvania does. (I'm assuming that's still true. My wife's statements list all three currencies, with the different IBANs.) Read More
Keeping in touch while living in Romania

Old thread, but..and this is just according to my wife...be prepared to pay out the nose for registration if your car is at all fun to drive. She figures mine will probably cost about $800/year to register because it's a 6-cylinder, 300+ HP ... Read More
