for the asylum procedures Romanian National Council for Refugees (CNRR):

Refugee status/ asylum seeker status/ temporary protection status

Ukrainian nationals who can present a valid passport at the border crossing can enter Romania and stay up to 90 days.

The temporary protection is granted for one year and can be automatically extended for periods of 6 months, for a maximum of one year, if the generating situation persists.

An asylum application may be filed by any foreigner who is in Romania or at a border crossing point. A person is considered an asylum seeker from the moment they demonstrate their willingness, expressed in writing or orally before the competent authorities, showing that they demand the protection of the Romanian state.

If you have already arrived in Romania and you want to ask for asylum, you can go to either one of the six Regional Centres for Housing and Procedures for Asylum Seekers.

The length of the procedure depends on the case. Each application is individually analysed. dopomoha.ro
