Marrying a Romanian

Hello,


If I come to Romania on a short-stay visa from South Africa and I marry can I apply right away for a long-term visa or do I need to go back to South Africa, wait 3 months, and then apply?


Thank you!

I'm confused.  Your profile says you're Romanian looking for info on S.Africa.  Why would you be coming to Romania from S.Africa on a visa then?   Please correct your profile to be accurate.


Long-stay visas must be applied from country of residence.  One cannot come to Romania on a visit visa, then immediately apply for a long-stay visa while in country.  Presumably, (your husband) would need to go home and apply to return to Romania.
