Romania is becoming an increasingly popular destination for foreign workers looking for new opportunities and long-term career growth. The country is experiencing economic development and a constant demand for skilled and unskilled labor in industries such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, healthcare, and hospitality. However, one of the biggest challenges that foreign workers face is obtaining the necessary work permit for Romania. This process can often feel overwhelming due to the documentation, legal requirements, and procedural complexities.
This is where GlobalWorker steps in — a trusted recruitment and workforce solutions partner that not only connects international workers with Romanian employers but also simplifies the entire process of obtaining a visa and work permit in Romania.
What is a Visa and Work Permit in Romania?
Before explaining how GlobalWorker can help, it’s important to clarify what the visa and work permit process involves in Romania. For non-EU citizens, the process starts with receiving a job offer from a Romanian employer. The employer must then obtain an employment approval (aviz de muncă) from the Romanian General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI). Once the employment approval is granted, the foreign worker can apply for a long-stay visa for employment purposes (D/AM visa) at the nearest Romanian consulate in their home country.
After arriving in Romania, the worker must apply for a residence permit, which will allow them to live and work legally in the country. The work permit and residence permit are both mandatory to ensure legal employment.
How GlobalWorker Simplifies the Process
GlobalWorker’s mission is to remove the hassle and confusion for both workers and employers. Here’s how we help foreign workers with their visa and work permit in Romania:
1. Connecting Workers to Trusted Employers
GlobalWorker collaborates with a wide range of verified Romanian companies that need reliable international labor. We ensure that job offers are legitimate, contracts are clear, and all conditions are transparent before workers start the visa process.
2. Document Assistance and Application Preparation
The visa and work permit process requires a long list of documents: valid passport, clean criminal record, medical certificates, proof of accommodation, job contract, and more. GlobalWorker provides step-by-step guidance to help workers prepare and organize their documents correctly. We double-check every application to avoid delays or rejections.
3. Employment Approval Process
Our team communicates directly with Romanian employers and assists them in submitting all paperwork required for the employment approval. We ensure that deadlines are met and that any additional information requested by Romanian authorities is provided quickly.

Buna ziua. Voiam sa stiu daca recrutati muncitori si din Nigeria. Este vorba despre un cetatean nigerian 27 ani, dornic sa lucreze si sa se stabileasca in Romania. Este specialist in domeniul IT insa este dispus sa lucreze si in alt domeniu. Este o persoana simpla, nu fumeaza, nu consuma alcohol sau alte substante. Vrea sa le ofere fratilor lui mai mici o viata mai usoara si asa cum am mai spus este dispus sa lucreze in oricare domeniu. Ma gandeam ca acumvine sezonul de vara si se cauta muncitori din afara.
Va multumesc si astept raspunsul dvs oricare ar fi el.
