Romania is not a member of the Schengen Agreement which makes it a great place for a non Schengen home base.
The Schengen Agreement has ruined the dream for millions around the world to slow travel through Europe. Gone are the days of crossing from Spain to France and resetting your clock in a neighboring country. If your country is not a member of Schengen you have to look at these 26 countries as one, an American can only spend 90 days out of 180 days between all 26 countries. Romania and a handful of European countries including the UK are options to live in to reset your Schengen clock. If you’re an American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealander, or from South Africa a Non-Schengen country like Romania should be in consideration for your investment budget. Even if you’re not choosing residency in Romania, it’s a great place to live 90 out of 180 days if you need to leave the Schengen. There are some residency options available through a few Schengen countries, but most of these require €250,000-€1,000,000 invested in or paid to the country. Italy has some options that are vaguely written and subjective to local decisions that can be inconsistent.

These are my favorite types of videos you post!

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Thanks 😊 I appreciate the comment and we are glad you liked it.

Thanks for the video. It was nice to see Remus again. We look forward to meeting him in April when we move to Bucharest.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We’re glad he’s been able to help you. Thanks 😊

The option for retirees to overstay and then be granted residency seems extraordinary!

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes, I had a startled double take on that process. 😁

Great video. Very helpful.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Thanks. Thank you for watching:)

[@cornishhh]

As a 65 year old overstaying the 90 day limit and being subsequently being granted residency seems almost too good to be true. It would be interesting to know how many people have taken this route, if they had any problems, and what it cost.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

According to Remus it’s been successful. It sounds crazy to us as well. Shoot us an email and I’ll forward you to Remus if you are interested in more info. [e-mail]

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Very informative. With the repeal of Portugal's NHR program, we were looking at different options living off just my VA disability money. Like the concept of having a base of operations that is affordable to maintain while still being able to slow travel around the world 🌎

Hey Warren & Julie: Is it possible to buy property in Romania? Do you have a good realtor to recommend? Thank you!

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes it is, we did a real estate video in Brasov, I hope this helps. Brasov Romania Real Estate, International House Hunters (Expats, Foreigners & Investors) 2022 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGnn36lnLGcpdE

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Hi new to channel. Will have to check if you made a video why you made the company in Romania and bought a house in Montenegro. ?

[@MainStInformant]

With Romania joining the Schengen, it looks like a great option for residency. This is fantastic. Taxes are very advantages also.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Well said!

[@gmc911er]

Im really weighing in my options to want to live in Romania. unfortunately I am not 65 but will retire in 5 years from the military, so Im looking forward to this adventure once i set my mind to move. Thanks for the informational video. I enjoy this very much.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Romania is a beautiful country. We especially enjoyed Brasov.

[@raffaelloschirinzi2072]

Please be informed that Romania and Bulgaria joined the Schengen area on March, 31st, but only in terms of air and sea travel ! So when it comes to travelling by car, nothing changes.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yep, here’s our video on it. Unfortunately the days still count as Schengen days for visitors. Important Schengen 2024 Update, Bulgaria & Romania Schengen & ETIAS kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqacaWWvopWkfas

For US citizens, the romanian corporation will need to be reported to the IRS on form 5471. An accountant may charge up to $1500+ per year to fill this form out

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Completely depends on your accountant or if you do it yourself.

[@sammyfriday]

Hey Warren & Julie. I’m in Romania now for few days to explore cities and living options. This my 5th time in Romania since 2021. I found your channel very informative and Seems like Remus has the best of both worlds, understand the process and can communicate clearly in English. I would like to have his contact info or his office name and number. Thank you ❤

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

@@sammyfriday please email us at warrenjulietravel@gmail and I’ll forward you.

[@user-bo2vk7rc8l]

Hello warren&julie,thank you for the vedio. Do i understand that the cost of 1500-2000 € will cover.( His fees to establish the company and will cover the health insuranes for the entire year and will cover the taxes on 3000 € yearly income and that is a residency for couples.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

This is our understanding. We recommend that you speak with the attorney. If you are interested in doing so, please email me at [e-mail] and I’ll connect you with him.

[@C-Trader]

Great information, thanks for that! With a digital nomad VISA in Romania and a US passport can you spend as much time as you want in other EU countries or are you subject to the 90 day rule outside of Romania?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

I believe you are subject to the 90 day rule but we can get you in touch with the attorney if you need that information.

[@C-Trader]

@@WarrenJulieTravel yes, can you please put me in contact with an attorney? I would like to know more about the digital nomad process. It sounds easy online but there are requirements to apostille documents and translate them to Romanian. It seems that would take longer than the 14 days processing time quoted. Thank you again for your response and help.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Please send an email to [e-mail] and we will have our expert answer this for you.

[@claireruf7556]

Do you know if residency can lead to citizenship? I will be 65 years old next year, so this may be an option for me. Thank you for all the great information!

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching us 😃 I’m not certain but if you email us at [e-mail] we can forward your information to the attorney so he can answer you.

[@MI-xm5kx]

me too I will be 65 years old next year

[@dovoso5685]

Hi , Very interesting video ! I am retired and I would love to know more about the requirements to retire in Romania. Is there a minimum income and/or minimum stay after the 90 days , in order to keep your retirement visa ?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Please send an email to [e-mail] and we will get you in touch with the residency expert.

[@HGills]

Does gaining residency in Romania (now that is is part of the Schengen zone as of this year) does this allow you to travel into other Schengen countries during your time of residency eg: we have spent 90 days in Schengen zone already say from Jan to March and you get temporary residency from April for 12 months in Romania can we go holiday in Greece for 2 weeks May, come back to Romania, then holiday in Spain for 2 weeks in June, come back to Romania, go to Italy for a week July ? Or do you have to stay in Romania the whole time and what happens when you leave Romania - do you loose residency and if going into another Schengen country do they consider that time in Romania as being in Schengen already and now overstaying ?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

With residency in a Schengen country you gain Schengen access, which is a big plus to obtaining it. You may have requirements to be in the country a minimum amount of months per year depending on the country and residency type.

[@gmc911er]

Can you do a video for getting a US Spec car shipped from EU to Romania? How does the whole process go and what tax percentage to pay for the car to register.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Unfortunately, this would not be easy for us. We are not currently in Romania and we don’t know the process for this.

[@Fiat_176]

If you're importing a car from a non EU country to the EU you might have to pay sales tax on it based on its current value. So basicaly 19% of what you would be able to buy/sell the car for.

[@joan5631]

Romanian residency may prove to be much easier and happier than Polish one for many reasons

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

It very well may be. Poland is extremely difficult.

[@Calipeixegato]

It was a bit hard to tell from this interview, but it sounds like there are only 2 residency visa options available to people who want to be able to stay in Romania for more than 90 days out of every 180 day period: 1) start a company in Romania or 2) be over 65 and overstay your tourist visa. I don't think I heard any other options to obtain a residency visa. Is this accurate? Also, it sounds like with both of these options, you are required to physically be in Romania for 10 months out of the year. Am I understanding that correctly? If so, that's a significant physical presence requirement, especially as a retired person who wants to travel. I guess the Romanian government really wants you to reside there if they are going to give you a residency visa, lol.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

There are additional residency programs, but we focused on these two. The company option is the easiest option. You are not required to stay in Romania for 10 months per year. If you would like to ask the residency expert for more details and information please send us an email at [e-mail] and we will get you in contact with him.

[@DavidCR7-s6s]

Can you do a video with information for US citizens who want to move to Romania in regards to transfer phone service, bank accounts, receive US pension and taxes? Thanks

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We don’t ever say it won’t be possible, but right now we are not scheduled to visit Romania in the near future.

[@ashvoj]

Has he said how many times the corporation visa can be renewed? Also, does staying on this visa help at all towards applying for permanent residency? Thanks in advance for any info on this!

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

There is not a limit on how many times it can be renewed. If you want to know about the permanent residency options or more in-depth questions, please email me at. [e-mail] and I will put you in contact with Remus.

[@ashvoj]

​@@WarrenJulieTravelwill do. Thanks again!

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

I know he said you could get residency if you were over 65 and retired, and overstayed the 90 days... but what about if you are on Social Security and maybe 62? That would clearly show you are 'retired'. And if not, are there countries where you could do it this way? I would love to travel Europe, but 90 days is way too fast, especially since it's less expensive to do slow travel.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Please email me at [e-mail] and I will forward the questions to the attorney.

[@ParisianThinker]

Unfortunately, not one word about having a French permanent resident permit and moving to Romania.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Next time we do the Romanian residency video we will have to remember to include that.

[@MI-xm5kx]

Hi for which nationalities is valid to overstay in romania for those over 65 years retyree need to have a residence in Romania?

Sir I am Indian I want visit in brasove city Romania How many accepted cost 7 days

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

in another video he had said that in the first year one does not need to pay for national health care ($400). But here he doesn't mention that. Do you know which is true?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We will have to ask him. There may have been a change in 2024. This happens quite often in countries. Thanks for watching:)

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Here’s the reply: For the immigration procedure, in Bucharest, they do not request proof of health insurance in the first year (state health insurance), but you can make it if you want. However, there are a few immigration offices that request it in the first year (Sibiu county), therefore it depends on the budget and needs of the client.

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

@@WarrenJulieTravel wow they seem really great. I think I'm going to actually try this type of residence permit. Mostly because it seems you can get it so quickly. Here in Portugal it's just a nightmare of backlog

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Romania has the Carpathian Mountains, they are beautiful. Regarding Bucharest, the communist era you were probably right about smoke stacks, I don’t recall seeing any when we were there however. This said I’d recommend Brasov, Sibiu and Timisoara as a location to live in Romania. Montenegro is a great option as well.

[@ConstantinVictor66]

If you want to move in Romania, do NOT come to Bucharest. This city is totally f...up, because of uncontrolled and chaotic real estate development, this city has become a pollution nightmare, chaotic traffic, aggressive drivers, bad and narrow roads with no parking spaces and a lot of dust in the air.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We didn’t spend a lot of time in Bucharest, but it did have some charms. We really loved Brasov and Sibiu.
