If you are from EU and not planning to take employment or do any business‌ in Romania, you can simply stay without registering. Property renting is possible without a local‍ ID. And if you fly in and out of the country there are no more⁠ ID border checks within Schengen.

Don't you have to register when you want to live in Romania? You have to‌ in the other EU countries.

You will be allocated a CNP when registering as resident which doubles as TIN. So‌ no way to register without getting it.

Yeah I thought‍ so, it is the same as in any other EU country at least I know⁠ of. Thanks for clarification.

If he wants to properly register in Romania, then yes, he will need to apply‌ for a CNP. But it's also possible to stay in Romania without registering for years‍ if you are an EU citizen. If OP is retired and not planning to do⁠ any business in Romania then this option is also possible. Within Schengen no one checks⁤ when you arrive or leave.

Hello I am from Romania. We don't have any TIN here. We use our CNP,‌ Personal Identification Number. It's the number we get at birth.

When you get your residency permit they will give⁤ you a unique CNP that you can also use it as TIN , as we⁣ don't have any.

 

[Marshal]

Most EU countries⁤ have the same policy. You get your Unique Identification Number at birth which is used⁣ throughout your adult life for different purposes including a taxpayer identification.

Hi. thanks for input .⁣ . . I have actually 2 friends that has living in RO as digital nomads⁢ for 3yrs and aint do any regs or TIN, but so i guess if u︀ not out in the traffic there is low change some one will do any checks,︁ but i think when you make a rental lease that the owner do the some︂ kind of registration who lives there.
