National (Type D) — Work / Employment (informational) Verified 2026-06-09Romania Work Visa / Permit (National Type D — Information Only)
Overview of Romania's work authorisation (work permit + long-stay D/AM visa) for Indian applicants. SureshotVisa guides you through this route and, once you hold your own job offer or employer sponsorship, prepares and files the visa application — we are not a recruiting agent, so the offer must be yours.
No visa is ever guaranteed — the final decision always rests with the Romania visa authority. We make sure your file is presented at its strongest.
SureshotVisa does not provide Romania work visa or work permit services. The information below is general guidance only — work authorisation is employer-driven and handled by the Romanian General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) and the Embassy of Romania.

Good to know before you apply
Rules that apply to every Romania visa type — worth a quick read so nothing trips up your file.
- 1SureshotVisa guides you through this route and, once you hold your own job offer or employer sponsorship, prepares and files the visa application — we are not a recruiting agent, so the offer must be yours.
- 2Romania work authorisation is employer-driven: the employer in Romania obtains the work permit (aviz de angajare) from IGI; it is not something an individual files like a tourist visa.
- 3Romania is not on VFS in India — the long-stay (D/AM) employment visa is lodged at the Embassy of Romania in New Delhi.
Who Can Apply
- Applicants with a confirmed job offer from a Romanian employer who obtains the work permit (aviz de angajare)
- Highly-qualified workers (e.g. EU Blue Card route), where the employer applies on their behalf
Not eligible under this visa:
- Anyone without a Romanian employer obtaining the work authorisation
- Job-seekers expecting to find work after arriving on a visitor visa
What it costs
Government & VFS fees
Paid directly to Romania / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Work permit / employment visa fees | Varies |
SureshotVisa does not provide work-visa services, so we do not quote a professional fee here. Government / permit fees are set by the Romanian authorities and handled by the sponsoring employer.
Flights · Hotels · Insurance · Itinerary
What Romania actually requires — and what it does not.
Romania applies the Schengen rules, so travel insurance is not a nice-to-have — it is a legal condition of the visa.
2 of 4 are compulsory for Romania
Flight reservation
The Romania consulate wants a return itinerary with a real PNR covering your exact dates. It does not want a paid ticket, and buying one before a decision puts your money at risk for nothing.
Where people slip: Flying into one city and out of another with nothing showing how you travel between them. Officers read the whole route, and an unexplained gap reads as a plan that does not hold together.
How to hold a flight without payingHotel booking
Accommodation for EVERY night of the stay. Not most nights — every one. A gap is a documented refusal ground under the Schengen code.
Where people slip: Free-cancellation bookings are accepted, but if the entire file is free-cancellation the officer sees a trip nobody has committed to. Some of it should be real spend.
Refundable hotel booking, explainedTravel insurance
Minimum EUR 30,000 medical cover, valid in every Schengen state, including repatriation and emergency medical evacuation, for the full period of stay. Regulation (EC) 810/2009 — this is law, not preference.
Where people slip: Buying cover for the adults and forgetting the children. Every traveller needs their own EUR 30,000, infants included — a real refusal we have seen on a family of four.
What the cover must actually sayTravel itinerary
A day-by-day plan matching your flights, your hotels and the country you applied to. Romania must be your main destination or your first point of entry, or you are at the wrong consulate.
Where people slip: Spending more nights in another Schengen country than in Romania. That gets a file rejected before it is even assessed.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe arrange all four for your Romania file.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight, the hotel and the policy all come from us, issued the same day, and you deal with one team instead of four. Every booking is a real one under your own name.
