Exact locations and how to get there will be posted on the website in January 2017. In order to purchase flight tickets we advise you to look at the following airports in Romania  (in order of proximity to the exam location):  

  • Cluj Napoca 
  • Targu Mures
  • Sibiu
  • Bucuresti

They are accessible by a host of large, commercial airlines as well as the following low-cost companies: Wizz Air, Easy Jet, Blue Air

If you are flying in you will need some form of land transportation from your chosen airport to the exam locations. Available are the following: 

  • car rentals (from the airports)
  • public transport (we advise buses and some of them you can get from the airport) 
  • car-share

In order to facilitate transport and car-pooling you may discuss the options and see what other candidates are doing by accessing this open forum: https://www.eemga.org/dwqa-questions/ 

Last time we were quite successful in having everybody transported to and back from the exam sites using the free seats in other candidates’ cars. Plan early! We will try to facilitate communication between candidates but first you will need to engage on the forum in the link mentioned above and sort out your options. Only as last minute resort we will try and help individual cases.

NOTE TO ROMANIAN CANDIDATES: Please visit the forum https://www.eemga.org/dwqa-questions/  and write there (Ask Question button) if you have free spaces in your car, how many and from where to where. Please get involved in helping candidates from abroad to reach the exam sites and back to their airports. Please get involved!

NOTE TO CANDIDATES LOOKING FOR CAR-SHARE: Please be aware that you will need to share the cost of petrol with the car owner and the other occupants of the vehicle. Please provide the driver detailed information on where they can pick you up from, where they should drop you off to, keep in touch with them and if you need to cancel please give them enough notice so they do not travel extra for you nor somebody else is left out.
