About Romania

Discover Exciting Career Opportunities in Romania

Romania — a country of stunning medieval castles, vibrant cities, and one of the fastest-growing economies in the European Union — has become a top destination for international workers. With rapid industrial expansion, a booming tech sector, and a growing demand for skilled and unskilled labor across multiple industries, Romania offers exceptional employment prospects for foreign nationals.

As a European Union member since 2007 and part of the Schengen Area, Romania provides legal pathways for non-EU citizens to live and work legally through the work permit and long-stay D-type visa system. The Romanian government has announced a new unified work permit system, making the process more streamlined and transparent for employers and foreign workers alike.

At Triloknath Immigration Services, we specialize in connecting businesses with verified talent from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and other non-EU countries — managing the complete journey from candidate sourcing to work permit approval. We operate as your dedicated B2B workforce and immigration partner, not a job portal.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions – Romania Work Permit & Immigration

How do non-EU foreigners get a work permit in Romania?
Non-EU nationals must: (1) Secure a job offer from a Romanian employer; (2) Have the employer submit a work authorization application to the General Inspectorate for Immigration; (3) Once approved, apply for a D-Type Long-Stay Visa at the nearest Romanian Embassy in their home country with the signed employment contract, accommodation proof, police clearance, and health insurance; (4) After arriving in Romania, apply for a Temporary Residence Permit (TRC) at the local Immigration Office. Triloknath Immigration Services manages this entire process for employers and workers.
What is the new unified work permit system in Romania?
Romania has implemented a new unified system that replaces the fragmented work permit and visa procedure. The process is managed through an online platform ("WorkinRomania.gov.ro") that handles all work permit and long-stay visa applications. The system introduces two primary visa categories: D/AM1 for highly qualified/specialized workers (not subject to quotas) and D/AM2 for general labor (subject to quotas and a shortage occupation list). This reform aims to simplify and streamline the work permit process.
What is the average salary in Romania?
The average net monthly salary in Romania is approximately €707. Higher-skilled professions such as IT, healthcare, and engineering earn significantly more — IT professionals can earn €25,000–€70,000 per year, healthcare professionals earn €25,000–€70,000 per year, and engineers earn €28,000–€65,000 per year. Romania has one of the fastest-growing economies in the EU with increasing wages.
Can Indian workers apply for a Romania work visa?
Yes. Indian nationals are eligible to apply for a Romania D-Type Work Visa. The process requires a confirmed job offer from a Romanian employer, employer work authorization, and a complete set of documents including educational certificates (attested), police clearance, passport, health insurance, and accommodation proof. Triloknath Immigration Services specializes in placing workers from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and other countries in Romania and manages the complete visa and permit process.
Which industries are most hiring in Romania for foreigners?
The top hiring sectors for foreign workers in Romania are: IT & Technology (software developers, data analysts, cybersecurity specialists); Logistics & Warehousing (sorters, loaders, forklift operators); Construction & Manufacturing (welders, mechanics, technicians); Hospitality & Tourism (hotel staff, chefs, waiters); Healthcare & Nursing (registered nurses, caregivers); Multilingual Customer Support (technical support, BPO agents); and Transportation & Delivery (truck drivers, delivery couriers).
What is the cost of living in Romania for foreign workers?
Romania is one of the most affordable countries in Europe. A single adult spends on average €550 per month on utilities, food, transportation, shopping, and leisure. Rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in Bucharest ranges from €450–€750/month. Many employers provide accommodation for non-EU foreign workers, significantly reducing this cost. Monthly public transport passes cost around €16, and a restaurant meal averages €7.
Do Romanian employers provide accommodation for foreign workers?
Many employers in Romania provide accommodation or accommodation allowances for non-European workers, especially in logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, and construction sectors. Major employers also often cover one-way flight tickets and provide initial accommodation while workers settle in. Triloknath Immigration Services assists all placed workers with accommodation arrangements and local registration.
What is the difference between D/AM1 and D/AM2 visas?
D/AM1 visas are for highly qualified or specialized workers, including Moldovan/Ukrainian/Serbian citizens, sportsmen, and academic staff. They are not subject to quotas or a shortage occupation list, and the employer must meet stricter criteria. D/AM2 visas are for general labor, subject to annual quotas and a shortage occupation list. Employers must be "authorized" (with at least 50 employees and 24 months of activity) to hire directly for D/AM2 roles without using an agency.
Can I bring my family to Romania on a work permit?
Yes. Once you have obtained your Temporary Residence Permit (TRC) in Romania, you may apply for family reunification to bring your spouse and dependent children to Romania. Children of foreign workers have access to the Romanian public education system. Your dependants will need to apply for a Family Reunification Visa at the Romanian Embassy in your home country.
Does a Romania work permit allow travel to other EU countries?
Romania is a member of the Schengen Area. Your valid Romanian Residence and Work Permit combined with your national passport allows short-stay travel (up to 90 days in any 180-day period) across all 27 Schengen Area countries. However, it does not automatically grant the right to work in other EU member states. Romania is also a gateway to affordable travel across Europe.
How long does Romania work permit processing take?
The Romania work authorization processing typically takes approximately 30 days. Once the work permit is approved, candidates have a 60-day window to apply for the D-Type Long-Stay Visa at the Romanian embassy in their home country. The complete process from employer application to visa issuance and post-arrival residence permit typically takes 90–120 working days. Triloknath Immigration Services helps streamline this timeline through proactive document management and follow-up.
What types of jobs in Romania require English proficiency?
English-language jobs in Romania are concentrated in: IT & Technology (many Bucharest-based and Cluj-based tech companies operate in English); Multilingual Customer Support and BPO (companies like Concentrix hire English-speaking agents for technical support and content moderation); International Hospitality (4-star and 5-star hotels hire English-speaking front desk, concierge, and management staff); Finance and Accounting (multinational companies with English-speaking operations); and Academic and Research positions at universities.
