Supporting Romanian nationals and Romania–Wales relations
This office provides guidance, signposting and assistance to Romanian citizens living, working and studying in Wales, and works to strengthen the economic, cultural and community ties between Romania and Wales. For passports, visas and other official documents, we will point you to the right place.
An honorary consulate supports and signposts — it does not replace Romania's career consular offices. Being clear about the difference saves you time and a wasted journey.
