Visa Overview
Romania has the fastest internet in Europe. The income requirement is 3x the average gross salary ($4k+). It's a great spot for techies who need to move huge amounts of data.
Pet Entry & Rules
Standard EU rules. Bucharest is becoming more pet-friendly, but there are still many strays in rural areas. Veterinary care is very high quality and affordable.
Tax Residency
If you are a tax resident of another country, you can avoid Romanian tax as a nomad for the first year under specific treaty conditions.
