Be accepted and enrolled full-time at an accredited or provisionally authorised Romanian educational institution, with the required ministry acceptance letter for the first application.
Provide a passport, enrolment certificate, proof of legal accommodation, medical certificate, health-insurance evidence, fees, and financial means for the required period.
For an extension, show continued enrolment and the documents required by the Romanian General Inspectorate for Immigration before the current permit expires.
Complete the long-stay visa and temporary-residence-permit process appropriate to the applicant's nationality and study programme.
The study residence permit is normally granted for one year and renewed annually; scholarship-supported studies may follow the scholarship period.
The Romanian immigration authority's current FAQ states that students may work without a separate employment permit on a part-time contract for no more than four hours per day. Check the current IGI rule before relying on student employment, because other public-facing education material may show a different limit.
