Effective May 2, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in consultation with the Department of State, rescinded Romania’s Visa Waiver Program (VWP) designation.
DHS explained that it decided that Romania’s VWP designation should be rescinded “to protect the integrity of the VWP and to ensure border and immigration security. Romania may be reconsidered for VWP designation in the future should they meet the statutory eligibility criteria.”
