Relocating to Romania: How to Navigate the Bureaucracy

Visa application and long-term residence permit (D-Visa)

Non-EU citizens require a visa for an extended stay in Romania. In most cases, a D-Visa is necessary, which must be applied for at the Romanian embassy in your home country. After entering Romania, you must apply for a long-term residence permit at the General Inspectorate for Immigration. For the visa application and residence permit, you will need various documents, such as a valid passport, a police clearance certificate, proof of sufficient financial means, and health insurance.

Registration of Residence

Once you have received a residence permit, you must register your residence in Romania. Registration is done at the local registration office.

Required Documents and Deadlines

For residence registration, you typically need your passport or ID card, the residence permit, and proof of residence (e.g., rental agreement or proof of ownership). The deadline for registration is usually 30 days after receiving the residence permit.

Work Permit

If you wish to work in Romania, you might need a work permit. The requirements for this depend on your citizenship and the nature of your employment.

Requirements for Obtaining a Work Permit

Generally, your employer must apply for the work permit on your behalf. A prerequisite is that there is no Romanian or EU citizen suitable for the position. However, for certain professions, such as IT specialists, simplified procedures exist. GoMovin supports you in planning your move and helps you undertake all necessary steps to live and work legally in Romania.

Taxes in Romania: How you can benefit as an entrepreneur

//www.wohnsitzausland.com/rumaenien">wohnsitzausland.com provides further information on this topic.


Income Tax for Individuals

The Romanian tax system is also attractive for individuals. The income tax is relatively low compared to other European countries.

Flat Tax of 10%

In Romania, a flat tax of 10% applies to income. This simplifies tax filing and makes the tax system transparent.

Dividend Distribution

The taxation of dividends is an important aspect for entrepreneurs. Here too, Romania offers interesting regulations.

Taxation of Dividends (8%) and Possible Exemptions for EU Companies

Dividends in Romania are taxed at 8%. However, there are possible exemptions for EU companies that hold at least 10% of the shares in a Romanian company for more than a year. In this case, the dividend tax can be waived. It's important to provide the appropriate documents to benefit from this exemption.

Banking and Currency Exchange

When it comes to currency exchange and banking, there are certain things to keep in mind to ensure you can manage your money safely.

Recommendations for Secure Money Exchange

It is recommended to exchange money only at banks or official exchange offices to avoid fraud. Be cautious of offers on the street or in unreliable shops. Also, pay attention to current exchange rates to get the best rate.

Living in Romania: Affordable rents, rising property prices

Prices and Legal Aspects (Land Ownership Restrictions for Non-EU Citizens)

Even the purchase of real estate is often cheaper in Romania than in Western Europe. However, there are land ownership restrictions for non-EU citizens. It is advisable to consult a lawyer before buying to ensure that all legal aspects are considered.

Cost of Living

The cost of living in Romania is a major factor making the country attractive to expatriates.

Comparison with Western Europe

Compared to Western Europe, the cost of living in Romania is significantly lower. This not only affects rents but also groceries, transport, and services.

Budget Planning for Accommodation, Food, and Transport

Careful budget planning is essential to keep the cost of living under control. Take into account the costs for accommodation, food, and transport. Leisure activities and unexpected expenses should also be included in your budget.

Healthcare System

The Romanian healthcare system differs from that in Germany. It is important to be informed about the various aspects to ensure good care in case of illness.

Public and Private Healthcare

In Romania, there is both public and private healthcare. Public healthcare is funded by social insurance contributions. Private healthcare often offers better facilities and shorter waiting times, but is more expensive.

Health Insurance (EHIC for EU citizens, private supplementary insurance recommended)

As an EU citizen, you are entitled to Romanian health insurance. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) gives you access to medical care. However, it is recommended to take out private supplementary insurance to benefit from better services and shorter waiting times.

Jobsuche in Rumänien: IT industry and German language skills in demand

Ablauf und Anforderungen

The establishment of an SRL (GmbH) is relatively straightforward. However, there are some requirements that must be met. These include registration in the commercial register, the opening of a bank account, and applying for a tax number.

Digital Nomadism

For digital nomads, Romania is an attractive destination. The low costs and good internet infrastructure make the country interesting.

Advantages (good internet infrastructure, low costs)
