The consular fee is 35 euros and no additional service charge is collected. A reply usually comes within 10 to 15 working days. Schengen membership is recent, so older sources may still show national visa rules.

Bucharest, Brașov, Sibiu and the castles of Transylvania are the main destinations. Mountain routes are especially popular in winter. Viza.az prepares the documents with the new Schengen membership rules in mind.
