Romania is currently applying a classification of risk based on country of origin. These can be either GREEN, YELLOW or RED.

Here you may find what are the countries on the RED, YELLOW and GREEN list: https://www.cnscbt.ro/index.php/liste-zone-afectate-covid-19/ (the list is updated regularly – each week).

Anyone arriving to Romania from GREEN COUNTRIES can enter Romania without any restrictions.

For RED COUNTRIES, PCR is not enough to avoid quarantine, vaccination proof is required.

COVID-19 VACCINATION is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for selected participants, as guarantees a very easy travel process and PREDICTIBILITY in any of the 3 risk situations above. Additionally, it provides comfort and security to other participants from the group, while enjoying the project.
