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.

NEW European Entry and Exit System (EES) – launched 12 October, 2025, means for non-EU crew biometric data will need to be recorded on entry and exit. This will require a visit to an official office at a port of entry. See Immigration for more details.

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.

Russian-Flag

Since April 2022, Russian flagged or registered yachts are not permitted to enter any ports in Romania. See news item for details.

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.
