More information

The U.S. Information Office in Cluj-Napoca will close on May 3, 2007. As of Monday, April 30, American Citizens Services will be available only through the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest.

At the new American Corner in Cluj-Napoca in the Biblioteca Judeteana "Octavian Goga", which was opened in December 2006, citizens and institutions from Cluj-Napoca and the surrounding area now have access to more informational and cultural resources than were available through the Information Office. The American Corner, which is linked directly to the U.S. Embassy Information Resource Center in Bucharest, maintains Internet stations for research and a book and multi-media collection on America and serves as a venue for informational and cultural programs about the USA. Please go to the American Corner’s webpage at http://bucharest.usembassy.gov/American_Corners to see all it has to offer.

American citizens requiring consular services, not related to U.S. visas, will find answers to many of their questions at http://bucharest.usembassy.gov/US_Citizen_Services/index.html. Personal answers and services may be requested by email to acsbucharest@state.gov, by phone to (021) 200-3300, or in person at the consular section, located in Bucharest at Str. Nicolae Filipescu 26, Sector 2, Monday through Thursday from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. or 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., and Fridays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.

Romanians and third country nationals needing visas for travel to the U.S. can access complete U.S. visa information, free of charge, at http://bucharest.usembassy.gov/visas. As explained on that site, anyone wishing live, personal answers to non-immigrant visa questions may contact the Visa Information Service (VIS) upon payment of U.S. $11.00 at any branch of Banca Transilvania by calling the VIS and using their personal identification number (PIN).

Forms required for U.S. citizen and visa services are available online at the websites above.
