Pakistani Passport Fee in Romania: US$45 to US$185 at the Bucharest Embassy, Bank Deposit Only (2026 List)
Pakistani passport fee in Romania: US$45 for 5 years and US$68 for 10 at the Bucharest embassy, urgent from US$75. Lost fees, bank deposit rule and papers.
A Pakistani e-passport at the Embassy of Pakistan in Bucharest costs US$45 for a normal 5 year, 36 page passport and US$68 for a normal 10 year one. Urgent costs US$75 and US$113. The fee is paid only by deposit into the embassy's US dollar account at Garanti Bank: no cards, no online transfer and no cash.
We read the embassy's e-passport fee table and its contact page on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on 10 November 2026. Every fee and rule below comes from those two pages. The same office also serves Pakistanis living in the Republic of Moldova.
The table carries no date, so confirm the amount with the consular section before you deposit money. A deposit is hard to reverse if you pay the wrong category.
Pakistani passport fee in Romania, every category
The fee depends on the booklet (36 or 72 pages), the validity (5 or 10 years) and the speed (normal or urgent). The Bucharest table does not list a 100 page booklet.
| Booklet | Normal, 5 years | Normal, 10 years | Urgent, 5 years | Urgent, 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36 pages | US$45 | US$68 | US$75 | US$113 |
| 72 pages | US$80 | US$115 | US$125 | US$185 |
The 10 year, 36 page normal passport is the cheapest per year, at US$6.80 a year of validity against US$9 for the 5 year book. If you travel a lot for work, the 72 page book saves a second renewal when the pages run out.
To compare with home, see our passport fee page for Pakistan. Our 5 or 10 year guide explains which validity to pick.
Normal and urgent delivery times
The embassy gives these delivery times:
- Normal: 2 to 3 weeks
- Urgent: 1 to 2 weeks
That is faster than many other missions publish. The passport is still printed in Islamabad, so allow extra days before a booked flight.
Lost passport fee in Bucharest: double, four and eight times
Bucharest prints a full table for lost passports. The fee doubles at the first loss, is four times the normal fee at the second and eight times at the third.
| Booklet and validity | 1st loss, normal | 2nd loss, normal | 3rd loss, normal | 1st loss, urgent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36 pages, 5 years | US$90 | US$180 | US$360 | US$150 |
| 36 pages, 10 years | US$136 | US$272 | US$544 | US$226 |
| 72 pages, 5 years | US$160 | US$320 | US$640 | US$250 |
| 72 pages, 10 years | US$230 | US$460 | US$920 | US$370 |
Urgent after a second loss costs US$300, US$452, US$500 or US$740 for the four rows above, and after a third loss US$600, US$904, US$1,000 or US$1,480. The highest fee on the whole table is US$1,480, for a 72 page, 10 year urgent passport after a third loss.
The fee is not the only hurdle after repeated losses. Other Pakistani missions, such as Ankara and Vienna, say a third loss is referred to the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports (DGIP) in Islamabad for clearance first. Ask Bucharest whether that applies before you pay.
How to pay the passport fee in Romania
This is where most people go wrong. The embassy says debit and credit cards, online transfer and cash are not accepted. You pay by depositing the fee into its account:
- Account title: Embassy of Pakistan
- Account number: RO02 UGBI 0000 0120 3789 2USD
- Bank: Garanti Bank, Calea Dorobanti, Bucharest
The account is in US dollars, so the deposit must be in dollars. Keep the bank's deposit slip, because the embassy needs proof of payment with your application.
