Romania - Clearance
ALERTS
European Entry and Exit System (EES)
With the introduction of the Europe-wide entry and exit system (EES) (now delayed until October 2025), biometric data will need to be recorded on entry and exit for third country travelers. While this negates the need to have passports stamped, it will require a visit to an official office at a port of entry, therefore flexible clearance at marinas may no longer be possible once it is implemented. It is not yet known how rigidly EES will be enforced for pleasure boat users.
Russian-Flag
Notice April 2022: Russian flagged or registered yachts are not permitted to enter any ports in Romania. See news item for details.
Romania Arrival Procedures for Yachts
Clearance formalities for visiting yachts are generally straightforward.
Yachts must clear in and out of each port. The crew should remain on board until formalities have been completed.
Immigration, Customs and Health: On arrival at any port a yacht will be visited by Border Police (Immigration), Customs and Health. They will want to see:
- A completed crew list in duplicate.
- The ship’s registration.
- Valid insurance.
- Customs declaration.
It is helpful to have a ship’s stamp with the ships’ particulars on it.
Romania Departure Procedures for Yachts
On departure for the next port in Romania, or on leaving the country, all the visits are repeated and an exit stamp added.
Once the formalities are completed a Clearance Permit is given by Harbour Master to sail from each port to the next port or country.
Agents are not mandatory and there is no charge for formalities.
