I have benefitted a lot from immigrationboards, so now I'd like to contribute. Hope it'll help whoever might need it.
I am non-EU citizen, married to Romanian citizen, and have recently relocated to Romania. I arrived in Romania on schengen visa. Here are the documents I have submitted:
Documents from applicant (non-EU)
1. Passport, including visa page
2. Transcribed marriage certificate (as we married outside Romania)
3. Health certificate from a Romanian doctor
4. Medical insurance
5. Tax payment
Documents from spouse (Romania citizen)
1. ID
2. House property/contract
All the documents above need copies. At the immigration office, both the applicant and the spouse need to complete several forms. Once the the application is submitted, you get a receipt of application and just need to wait for 30 days onwards until the residency permit is ready.
When I applied, I had less than 30 days left for my schengen visa, which made me extremely worried that I might be asked to leave the country. But it's fine. As long as I have applied, I am allowed to stay in the country while waiting for the permit.
Above was my experience of the application. Now I'm waiting for it and enjoying Romania at the same time. Hope it's gonna be ready soon. If you would like to know about details of the documents or the process, you are welcome to comment, and hopefully I can reply fast.
Regards,
Rose
