Preparation and Submission of Residence Permit Applications

Obtaining a residence permit is a necessary step for non-EU employees who already hold work permits in Romania. This document allows them to live and work legally in the country, in full compliance with Romanian legislation.

What does obtaining a residence permit involve?

To obtain a residence permit, you must prepare and submit a complete application to the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI). It is essential to properly prepare the documentation to avoid rejection or delays. The required documents include:

  • A copy of the work permit
  • The individual employment contract, signed by the employer
  • Proof of accommodation (such as a rental contract or another document proving residence)
  • Valid health insurance
  • A copy of the employee’s passport
  • A completed residence permit application form
  • Payment of required fees, made within the specified deadlines

Processing Times and the Importance of a Complete Application

Once you submit the application, IGI processes it within up to 30 working days. However, in exceptional cases, the processing time may extend by up to 15 days. Therefore, submitting a complete and well-prepared application is crucial to ensuring that deadlines are met and to avoiding any administrative complications.

Residence Permits-Application Procedure

The first step in the procedure is preparing the application, which must meet legal requirements. After verification, you must submit the application in person to IGI. The authorities will review all documents and legal conditions to determine if they meet the necessary criteria for issuing the residence permit. Once approved, the employee will receive a residence permit valid for up to one year, with the option for renewal.
