Description
Work permits for foreigners
Do you want to hire a foreign citizen or clarify your right to work in Romania? We analyze citizenship, residence status, category of worker and applicable procedure before preparing the file.
Employment offer, visa and residence permit
The term „permis de muncă” is used for different procedures. The employment offer, where requested, the entry visa and the right of residence have distinct roles. Not every foreign citizen follows the same procedure: citizenship, existing status and any exceptions are all factors to be considered. We also check the rules applicable to the application at the time of submission, including relevant electronic procedures.
For the long-stay visa for employment purposes, IGI presents the D/AM1 and D/AM2 procedures. For D/AM1, the employer submits the single application through WorkinRomania. For D/AM2, the legal framework provides for submission through the placement agency or through the authorized employer, as the case may be.
In the information from September 15, 2026, IGI announced the temporary deactivation of the registration flows and the authorization of employers to submit D/AM2 applications, following the court suspension of the order regarding the list of deficit occupations. If you have an application submitted or cannot submit it, prepare the registration number, if any, and the platform messages. We are checking the IGI instructions applicable to your case and the deadlines for residence documents.
Support for employers and workers
- Checking the conditions for employment, changing employers or job functions.
- Identification of the documents of the employer and of the person recruited.
- Analysis of requests for completion and the reasons for a refusal.
- The alignment of work and residence procedures with existing acts and deadlines.
- The evaluation of the path of contesting an act, depending on its nature and communication.
Documents for the initial discussion
Prepare the passport, residence documents, the offer or employment contract and available professional documents. For the employer, the company’s data, the position and the status of the applications already submitted are useful. Add the proof of registration, the communications from the authority and the exact expiration dates of the documents. The final list is determined for the specific category.
Frequently asked questions
Do all foreigners need a work permit?
No. There are different regimes and exceptions. Citizenship and residence status must be verified before choosing the procedure.
Does the opinion alone allow me to stay and work whenever I want?
This should not be assumed. We analyze together the right to work, the conditions of entry, and the validity of the stay.
Can rapid approval be guaranteed?
No. Preparing the file and responding to supplements helps manage the application, but approval and duration depend on legal conditions and checks by the authorities.
