Post-study

Romania appeals to Sri Lankan students mainly 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.

With no resident Romanian visa mission in Colombo, the long-stay D/SD application is generally handled through New Delhi, so include that step in your schedule.

Credential steps and the consular route from Sri Lanka

Apply directly to Romanian universities, secure University Grants Commission equivalency, and have your records attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Colombo, with an IELTS sitting through the British Council. Because Romania keeps no full mission in Sri Lanka, the long-stay study visa (D/SD) is normally lodged through the Romanian embassy in New Delhi, so prepare 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. Sri Lankan students can apply for the Romanian Government Scholarship or Erasmus+, and graduates may extend their residence permit to look for work.
