  • The Trump administration said on Friday it is removing Romania from the U.S. visa waiver program allowing visa-free travel to the United States. The outgoing administration of then President Joe Biden said on January 9 it was admitting Romania to the program, saying it had met stringent security requirements including entering into partnerships with U.S. law enforcement to share information on terrorism and serious crimes.

The U.S. has revoked Romania's visa waiver status effective immediately, as announced by the Department of Homeland Security on March 24, 2023. This decision reverses the visa-free travel privilege granted to Romanian citizens in 2008, requiring them to obtain a visa before entering the United States. The revocation stems from concerns over Romania's failure to meet the required standards for the Visa Waiver Program, particularly in areas of law enforcement, security, and immigration control. Romanian officials expressed disappointment and are working to address the issues to regain their visa waiver status.
