Travel from Belgium to Romania with French "Récépissé de renouvellement de Titre de Séjour"
I am non-EU citizen and residing in France. My visa is expired but I have the "Récépissé de renouvellement de Titre de Séjour" (i.e. a visa renewal receipt). My visa is a student type D visa with multiple entries.
Question: Will I be able to travel from Brussels to Bucharest and back again?
Best Answer
According to the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
Given the conditions selected previously, you need a visa in order to travel to Romania.
However, should you fit into one of the situations below, you are exempt from the Romanian visa requirement, for stays that of no more than 90 days during any 180-day period:
...
• I hold a residence permit issued by a Schengen member state ;
“An essential precondition for the equivalence of these visas as Romanian national visas is that they be valid, namely that the right of stay and validity period not have been used up.";
Therefore the answer is no, you would not be allowed to enter Romania without a visa.
