You cannot renew a Romanian residence permit if you reside in UK, simple logic.  If you have been outside of Romania for over 6 months or you have an residence permit in UK, your Romanian residence permit may have been cancelled.

On what basis are you living in UK?  You don't have a UK residency card or EEA family permit?  How long have you been living in UK?  The answers will determine your process in Romania.

I living uk on RO RC . I dont need family Permit I do have right to work and live with wife I haven't apply uk rc yet

A Romanian residence permit does NOT give the right to live in UK!  If you stay in another EU country for more than 90 days, you are required to obtain a residency permit from that country, in this case a EEA family permit.  If you've been there 4 months now with no authorization from UK, I believe you are staying there illegally.  Yes you have the right to live and work there being a EU family member, but you must obtain appropriate approval from the immigration authorities.

However, if you are intending on returning to Romania and actually living here, you should probably do so before the 6 months expires, otherwise you likely will be starting over from zero, meaning no permanent residence permit and possibly further complications.  If you intend to remain in UK, you should address the authorities there immediately.

Thanks for answers .

I think it takes 30 days from the time the file is submitted.  Remember though, if you've applied for residency in UK (you said you have a COA?), once that happens your Romanian residency card is cancelled, as you cannot hold residency in 2 EU countries at simultaneously.

Thanks . I got only coa I haven't got uk rc . And I known I can't keep 2 rc . But until I got uk rc . At least I have to update my romanian RC
