Common Questions
Do I need to speak Romanian?
No, not fluent. Learn basic phrases – it helps a lot. Most employers give language training. Construction and factory jobs don’t need language skills at start.
What if I don’t like the job?
Your work permit connects to your first employer. After 12 months, you can change employers easier.
Is Romania safe?
Yes. Romania is safer than many Western European countries. Big cities are safe at night.
