9 Australia E-Visa
Notes
90 days on each visit in 12-month period if granted. May enter using SmartGate. Transit without a visa is possible. Approval rates for Romanian citizens remain by far the lowest of the eVisitor programme. Even in 2025, approximately 38% of applications are rejected. Proof of employment, retirement, or enrollment in a university is mandatory. In the very likely event of being asked for financial resources, a bank statement from the last 3 months showing at least AUD 5,000 and proof of consistent monthly income is recommended. If any of these conditions cannot be met, additional documents demonstrating intent to return to the home country are recommended to avoid visa refusal. It is still generally considered a visa exemption, as 90% of eVisitor visas are automatically granted in less than a day for citizens of other eVisitor-eligible countries, with an overall approval rate of 98%. For Romanian citizens, the automatic grant rate is less than 30%, and the overall approval rate, including manually reviewed applications, is around 62%.
