Work in Romania
Annual quotas for non-EU workers make Romania a reliable route into construction, HoReCa and food production.
Overview
The Romanian employer applies for a work authorisation (aviz de muncă) at the General Inspectorate for Immigration. Once approved, the candidate applies for a long-stay employment visa (D/AM). After arrival, a single residence and work permit is issued.
