Romania context: Romania Citizenship by Descent
Reclaim your Romanian Heritage. Obtain EU citizenship through three generations.
Romania offers one of Europe's most generous citizenship by descent programs, allowing individuals with Romanian ancestry going back three generations (parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent) to reclaim Romanian citizenship and obtain a European Union passport. This 100% online process grants you visa-free travel to 177 countries and the right to live and work anywhere in the EU, with official processing completed in just 6 months .
Romania's citizenship reacquisition program honors the millions of Romanians who emigrated over the past century. Whether your ancestor was from modern-day Romania or former Romanian territories (now part of Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, or Moldova), you can establish your connection to the Romanian state.
Additionally, descendants of Romanian Holocaust victims can apply for citizenship as reparations. Romania recognizes dual citizenship without restrictions, so you keep your current nationality while gaining Romanian/EU citizenship benefits.
