Filipino tourists cannot work in Romania

- Beware of recruiters who encourage applicants for overseas jobs to enter Romania as tourists with the premise that a work permit will be issued when they arrive in the country.  Working in Romania using tourist visa (short stay visa) is not possible because it  is issued only through invitation and cannot be used  for a longer stay. Filipino workers who wish to legally stay and work in Romania should acquire the appropriate visa.

   The  employer needs to file with the Romanian Immigration Office a labor permit for permanent workers (long stay visa for labor purposes) on behalf of  the foreign worker justifying the necessity of hiring the selected worker.
