Hi all,
I am a romanian married with a turkish citizen and we both are currently working in India. We plan to make a trip to Romania for Christmas and an invitation for him is required. I live abroad for many years and I dont know how to proceed. Some years ago, while we were working in Morocco and we weren't married yet, we had the same issue when wanting to travel to Romania and all the info was vague, he finally end up taking the schengen visa, for it was much easier. But now, as we have time just to visit Romania, he will not apply again for schengen, because not entering the country that issued the visa can cause problems for the next one. So I am wondering, why does he need an invitation for a tourist visa, while married to a romanian citizen? And how can I make this invitation for him when I live abroad aswell? Also I read on the imigration site that it can take 60 days to process the invitation, also the visa application is recommended to be done 2 moth before, so we are practically out of time. This is really confusing, only to be able to visit my home country with my husband, I should plan my trip 1 year before? What if something happens and I would have to get there urgently, he will not be able to accompany me? I find this absurd. Sorry for this long post, If somebody has any suggestion, please let me know
