Morning Pam If you are only coming here for 8 weeks and not receiving any pay from Romania, we can arrange a business visa which allow a stay of up to 90 days per 6 months I would be happy to you with this. Dean Edgar

Hi Pam,

As Dean has indicated above, if you won't be receiving any money from Romania itself, you may be eligable for a business visa. 

Read the Expat Arrival's pages on Work Permits for Romania for more detailed information. As you mentioned nationals from a whole range of non-EU countries, it might be best to approach the Romanian Ministry of Home Affairs to get more specific requirements for nationals of each country.

Hope this information is helpful.

Hi, Thank you for the information. I just have a couple of questions - Does the business visa apply for individuals who are from countries outside of the EU? And will they only require a business visa or will they need an entry visa too? Thank you Pam

Also, do both EU nationals and non-EU nationals need a visa to work in Romania?

Technically they will be working for the UK Company and just doing some work for a Romanian client out there for 8 weeks. This is why I was confused as I'm not sure if this means they will be there to 'work' or on business. Thanks for all the help so far!

Hi Pam

Everyone needs a visa to work in Romania, but it will be easier for EU citizens to get a visa. Romania operates according to a quota system - there is a limited number of foreigners who are granted work permits each year. Having a job lined up is not a guarantee that a visa will be granted.
