About this Visa
This visa lets foreign workers come to Romania on temporary assignments from their company. Your employer sends you to work in Romania for a specific project or role—it's not for getting hired by a Romanian company. You keep your job with your foreign employer; Romania just lets you work there temporarily. You must get company approval and a work permit from the Romanian government before applying. This visa is special because it's designed for company transfers, not individual job hunting. Your employer handles most of the paperwork with the government. Once approved, you can live and work legally in Romania for the assignment period.
Key Benefits

- Stay legally in Romania during your assignment
- Bring your spouse and children (separate visa application needed)
- Travel in and out of Romania
