Post-study

Romania appeals to Pakistani students chiefly for its English-taught medicine and dentistry, with EU-recognised degrees and living costs of just €400–€700 a month. Its student visa is also among the most accessible in Europe.

Romania maintains an embassy in Islamabad, so the long-stay D/SD application is handled within Pakistan, which keeps the timeline straightforward.

Degree verification and the consular route from Pakistan

Apply directly to Romanian universities, then have your degree verified and attested by the Higher Education Commission, obtain IBCC equivalency for your school certificates, and add Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation in Islamabad. The long-stay study visa (D/SD) is lodged with the Romanian embassy in Islamabad, so prepare your documents and translations early.

Costs, scholarships, visa timeline and post-study options

Tuition of €1,500–€4,000 a year and living costs of €400–€700 a month keep Romania among the most affordable EU choices. The D/SD visa is usually decided within 2–4 weeks, and you must show about €500 a month in support. Pakistani students can apply for the Romanian Government Scholarship or Erasmus+, and graduates may extend their residence permit to look for work.
