Overview
LIKELY CORRECTION (Medium confidence): two independent Bangladesh-focused visa-agency sources (visathing.com, stickervisa.com) both state Bangladeshi applicants must personally apply at the Romanian Embassy in New Delhi, India -- neither describes a working VFS Global Dhaka channel. The Romanian Honorary Consulate in Dhaka (Cosmos Centre, 69/1 New Circular Road, Malibagh, Dhaka 1217; tel +880 2 831 2024 / 935 6522) appears to offer document/notarial support only, not visa issuance -- this contradicts the prior DB record's claim of a 'VFS Global Dhaka or eVisa portal' route. Could not reach Romania's own MAE/newdelhi.mae.ro site this session (blocked by robots.txt/SSL) to confirm at the primary-source level, so treat this as provisional pending direct reverification. Full Schengen membership (land borders since 1 Jan 2025, air/sea since 31 Mar 2024) reconfirmed via the EU Council's official press release.
Visa types: Schengen C visa (FULL SCHENGEN, land borders since 1 Jan 2025): Tourist, Business, Family/Friends Visit, Transit, Cultural/Sports, Medical. National D visa: Student, Worker, EU Blue Card, Family Reunification, Long-term Residence, Researcher, Digital Nomad Visa. NOTE: application venue for Bangladeshi residents appears to be the Romanian Embassy in New Delhi (in person) rather than a Dhaka VFS/eVisa route -- see visa_fees_summary.

Visa types (4)
LIKELY CORRECTION: Bangladeshi applicants appear to need to apply in person at the Romanian Embassy New Delhi, not via VFS Global Dhaka / eVisa as the prior record stated -- reported consistently by two Bangladesh-facing agencies. Could not verify against Romania's own MAE site this session; Medium confidence.

Common rejection reasons
Common Schengen rejections: (1) Romania newly full Schengen (Jan 2025) - some confusion about procedures; (2) Insufficient EUR 50/day funds; (3) Weak ties to BD; (4) Multi-entry Schengen visa holders may enter visa-free - misunderstood; (5) For Student/Digital Nomad: documentation verification.
