I have got this information from my friend, an attorney at law from Bucharest, Mr. Ioan-Luca Vlad.
Several changes in Romanian citizenship law have made applying for citizenship by descent significantly much more difficult:
- Fluency in Romanian is now mandatory, creating a major barrier for many applicants.
- Consuls have the discretion to request additional documents beyond what the law outlines, leading to unpredictable document requirements.
- Citizenship approval is no longer guaranteed, as decisions are entirely discretionary and at the sole judgment of state officials, even if all conditions are met."
