What it costs

SureshotVisa does not provide work-visa services, so we do not quote a professional fee here.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.

Questions, answered straight
No. We do not provide work-visa or work-permit services. We can help with visitor, business, family-visit and student visas. For work authorisation, your Romanian employer obtains the work permit (aviz de angajare) from IGI.
No — a visitor visa does not permit employment or job-seeking. Work in Romania requires a work permit obtained by an employer, followed by a long-stay (D/AM) employment visa.
The Romanian employer applies for the work permit (aviz de angajare) with the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) before you can apply for the employment visa.
