09.02.2022, Romania: drivers only need to fill in the Passenger Locator Form once

The Ordinance on the implementation of the digital passenger locator form (PLF) in Romania has been modified.

From 9 February 2022, the obligation to fill the PLF before entering the Romanian territory can be performed no later than 72 hours before crossing the border (24h previously).

In addition, the following categories only have to complete the form once before entering the territory of Romania – and no more every time when crossing the border – by checking the option “exempt personnel” on the form:
- drivers of vehicles with a maximum permitted weight of more than 2.4 tonnes performing transport of goods, as well as drivers of vehicles with more than 9 seats, including the driver's seat, performing transport of passengers. 
- persons who cross the state border at least once in 24 hours in order to travel to work.   

The modified Ordinance is available here (in Romanian).
