Currently, the procedure and requirements for obtaining and regaining Romanian citizenship is regulated by Law no. 21/1991 on Romanian Citizenship (hereinafter referred to as “Law no. 21/1991”).
Law no. 21/1991 sets the general framework, establishing that Romanian citizenship can be obtained by birth (ius sanguinis being the applicable principle of nationality law), by adoption, or upon request in specific regulated cases.
While obtaining Romanian citizenship by birth or adoption do not raise many practical challenges, obtaining Romanian citizenship upon request is a highly bureaucratic procedure.
