TELEPHONES<br />

Practical information<br />

Index<br />

Public telephones are orange and use a prepaid phone card (“cartela de telefon – ROMTELECOM”). These can be<br />

used for all kinds of calls, including the direct international calls. Telephone cards can be purchased at the post offices,<br />

hotels, and kiosks at prices 10 Lei and 50 Lei. Prepaid cards from other phone companies, can also be used, including<br />

General Emergency Service – 112<br />

MONEY & BANKING<br />

The Romanian currency is the Leu (plural: Lei), (1 Leu = 4.5 EURO) and its subdivision is „Bani”( singular „ban”).<br />

There are 4 coins and 7 notes:<br />

- Coins: coins of 1 ban, 5 bani, 10 bani and 50 bani.<br />

- Notes: notes of 1 leu, 5 lei, 10 lei, 50 lei, 100 lei, 200 lei 500 lei.<br />

All prices in Romania include VAT. The general value of the VAT is 24 %.<br />

Different banks have several branches in Sibiu. Most banks are open on weekdays from 09h00-12h00 and from 14h00-<br />

16h00. During the weekend, you can use the numerous ATMs to withdraw money. It will not be easy to open a bank<br />

account, as most banks will not allow you to open a bank account when you're only staying for a few months. To open a<br />

bank account, you will need your passport or identity card and an address in Sibiu. It can also be useful to take your<br />

Sibiu student card with you.<br />

Money can be exchanged at banks, hotels, and private exchange offices (“Casa de schimb valutar”). There can be<br />

major differences in rates, especially between banks and private exchange offices. So it is advisable to shop around. It<br />

is both illegal and not advisable to change money in the street as the chance to be cheated is very high.<br />

The official exchange rate can be accessed here: http://www.cursbnr.ro/<br />
