Work Permit Processing

The official legal steps required by the Romanian General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) to secure your right to work.

Official Authorization to Work

A work permit is the mandatory document issued by the Romanian government that allows a foreign citizen to be employed by a specific company. We handle the entire communication with the labor and immigration authorities, ensuring that the employer’s vacancy is legally registered and that your documents meet all the criteria for approval. This is the foundation of your legal stay in Romania.

STEP 01

File Preparation

We assist in preparing a complete and compliant application file, including all required documents such as criminal record, medical clearance, and employment details.

STEP 02

File Submission

We submit your complete file to the General Inspectorate for Immigration in the city where you will work.

STEP 03

Government Review

The authorities verify both the employer (tax records, stability) and the candidate. This is the stage where the official Work Permit is either approved or additional information may be requested.

STEP 04

Issuance of the Permit

Once approved, the original Work Permit is issued, allowing the candidate to proceed with the next steps for legal employment in Romania.

FAQs: Your Questions Answered

Can I work for any company with this permit?

No. The work permit is issued for a specific employer.

What happens if the Immigration Office rejects the file?

Rejections are rare if documents are correct. If it happens, we analyze the reason, fix the issue, and resubmit the file immediately.

Is there a quota for work permits in Romania?

Yes. Every year, the Romanian Government sets a limit on the number of foreign workers allowed. We ensure your application is submitted within this annual quota.
