Liverpool have received the following advice from the British Embassy for those fans travelling to Bucharest for our Europa League tie.

You don't need a visa to enter Romania, but your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay.

Take out some travel insurance even if you're only going for one day - if you get into difficulties it could save you a lot of money!

You may be asked to fill in a swine flu questionnaire on arrival. Please complete the form if asked to do so as if you don't you could be fined £100.

Getting to the stadium

Use public transport to get to the stadium (buses or taxis).

Take care not to pay over the odds for a taxi. Taxis should state which company they belong to and what the tariffs are on the side. Rates vary from 1.60 RON to 3 RON per kilometre (Rate of exchange £1 = RON 4.7). Taxis outside the railway station, shopping centres and main hotels tend to be more expensive, and independent drivers may charge you a much higher rate than you would normally expect to pay, up to 9 RON per kilometre.

There will be security checks at the stadium and you may be checked more than once.

No alcohol is allowed at the match, and fans showing any signs of drunkenness may be refused entry to the stadium.

Entry to the ground is by bar-coded ticket only.

Liverpool fans will be held back at the end of the game for at least 15 mins until the home supporters have left.

Stay safe and avoid scams in Bucharest

Large crowds are the favoured hunting grounds for petty criminals so be careful with your valuables.

Organised pickpocket and bag snatcher attacks by groups, often including children, occure in towns so be aware of particularly near exchange shops, hotels, and on public transport (especially to the airport), main railway stations and inside airport terminals. The most common method is of distraction whilst several people, often the children, attempt to snatch money, watches and jewellery from pockets or from around the neck and wrist.

We have heard reports of a scam involving thieves who present themselves as plain-clothes policemen. They flash a badge and ask to see passports and wallets. They count the money and give the documents back, but when they return the wallet, some of the money is missing.

Make sure you lock valuables including passports and credit cards in hotel safes. However you should carry a photocopy of the photo page as ID.

keep an eye on your credit card if using it in Romania, there have been reports of cards being copied when used in bars and restaurants.
