Comment: Given the changes brought by this normative act, we would like to state the following:

  • Foreign citizens have the obligation to notify the General Inspectorate for Immigration regarding any changes made in relation to their employment within 3 working days.
  • Employers have the obligation to conclude the individual employment contract within 15 working days from the foreigner’s entry into Romania or, as the case may be, from obtaining the new employment permit, in the case of a long-stay visa for employment. Failure to conclude the individual employment contract within 15 working days from the foreigner’s entry into Romania or, as the case may be, from obtaining the new employment permit, in the case of a long-stay visa for employment, is sanctioned with a fine from 5,000 to 10,000 lei. The act does not constitute a contravention if the non-conclusion of the individual employment contract is due to the foreigner’s fault.
  • A new special condition is introduced for the issuance of the permanent worker employment permit, respectively the employer must specifically carry out activity in the field of activity for which the employment permit is requested for at least 1 year.
  • Foreigners holding long-stay visas or residence permits issued by other Schengen states are allowed to enter the territory of Romania and can stay for a maximum period of 90 days during any 180-day period preceding each day of stay on the territory of Romania, calculated as the cumulative period with those spent on the territories of the other Schengen states, other than the one that issued them the long-stay visa, respectively the residence permit.
