Procedures on relocating staff to other EU countries

Employees moving within the European Union must be subject to a single piece of social security legislation. Therefore, a person who is sent to another Member State must be affiliated to the social security system of the Member State in which his employer is established, immediately before taking up employment.

Community legislation contains a number of criteria for the secondment of employees. There are exceptions to these conditions and they are subject to bilateral agreements between Romania and other countries, such as the Republic of Moldova, Turkey, Macedonia, Canada or the Republic of Korea.

A key aspect in this process of seconding employees is to find the applicable social security system. The payment package for these types of employees is also defined in the applicable legislation. In addition, the employer must cover the costs of secondment, as well as any costs of transport, accommodation and meals.

Employment authorization for hiring foreign citizens in Romania

The steps taken by an employer when hiring foreign nationals are different according to the country they come from. The procedure for registering the residence of the expatriate citizen will begin at the regional offices of the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) in the county where the person lives.

Non-EU candidates can be employed full time for 8 hours / day in Romania by a single employer, individual or company, for a fixed or indefinite period. The working period in Romania is considered for retirement and it is recognized in all EU / EEA states when establishing the pension.

The employer is the one who must obtain an employment permit, from the regional offices of the General Inspectorate for Immigration in the county where he or she has his registered office. They will submit a series of documents and pay a series of fees, in order to achieve this task.
