What you will
have to do once you decide to apply for a visa is to visit the targeted
country's embassy's website in your region. Luckily for me, Romania has its
consulate in Izmir. That too, I knew after doing some research online. From
that website you will know a lot of thing, including the documents that are
required for applying the type of visa you are classified in. For study, which
is classified as "long stay" visa; thus, you will have to apply for
the "D" type visa.
Here are the
documents needed for Romanian study visa "D type" :
Confirming
that you are on exchange program. In that letter, it also states about your
expanses during your stay in that country that it will be covered with certain
amount of money.
*it
could be written in separate paper. But it might also be written in the
statement letter no. 5
It
must cover up to 30.000 euro
Confirming
about a place where you will stay for the whole program
If
you happen to be living abroad, you may have to do a little work. In Turkey,
you have to go to "Adalet Sarayi" or court house to get that letter.
In Romanian case, you may also have to apostille it. I don't know what
apostille was until that day. So, it is a kind of sign language, that's what
it looks to me. Actually, not sign language but translation of every words or
words that are significant in that letter to languages that are required, such
as Romanian, English, and Deutch.
In
case you are living abroad:
Okay, those are
the documents you have to prepare for Romanian visa. But it's not quite finish
yet, you have to apply online at http://evisa.mae.ro/ro_home.
But first of all, you may want to do the scanning of all the documents above,
because you will be asked to upload them on that website.
So, the
processes are pretty much like; your documents are going to be checked by
them. If it is okay, then they will arrange an appointment for you. You will
learn the appointment date from this website too.
I submitted my
documents on 6th August, and we will see when it’s going to be ready.
And uh, for
Erasmus student, the visa is free. But normally for D visa it costs 120 euro.

Yeeee…. I just
got a call telling that my visa is ready to be collected. So, I went to the
consulate office and took my passport plus the visa that has been attached in
it. Finally my passport's pages can have a little decoration by sticking one
of other sticker (aka the visa :D). Hopefully I can get one more sticker when
I got in Romania, as I am planning to apply for schengen. Too bad, Romania is
not part of them.
And I feel like
I should tell you one more thing. I did not actually apply them online. Not
because I didn't want it too. I was so ignorant about this and that back then.
I decided to go to the consulate office and showed them my documents. Turned
out that my documents were all good and they directly accepted it, even though
I didn't make an appointment online. I can say my visa process went very
smooth - comparing to my other friends who had to pay for some huge amount of
money. They had to send the documents to their targeted country, which is sent
by cargo and it costs something. I didn't have to do anything. I just have to
do it here and now. And I did it and I got it. :p
