Type of Work Visa
Romania primarily issues a long-stay visa for employment purposes (marked as D/AM). This allows non-EU/EEA nationals to work legally in Romania.
Requirements for the Romania Work Visa
To obtain the visa, you generally need the following:
General Documents:
Valid Passport
Must be valid for at least 3-6 months beyond your intended stay.
Must have at least 2 blank pages.
Completed Visa Application Form
This form is available on the website of the Romanian consulate/embassy.
Work Permit (Authorization for Employment)
Issued by the General Inspectorate for Immigration in Romania.
This permit must be obtained by your employer in Romania before you apply for the visa.
Employment Contract
A valid contract signed with your Romanian employer.
Proof of Accommodation
Document showing where you will stay in Romania (e.g., rental agreement, employer-provided housing).
Proof of Sufficient Financial Means
Bank statement or salary slips ensuring you can sustain yourself until you receive your first paycheck.
Health Insurance
Coverage valid in Romania for the duration of the visa (minimum €30,000 coverage).
Police Clearance Certificate
Issued by the Bangladeshi authorities, confirming you have no criminal record.
Visa Fee Payment
The visa application fee varies but is typically around €120.

Work Permit Validity and Residence Permit
Initially, the work permit and visa are valid for up to 90 days.
Once you arrive in Romania, you must apply for a residence permit to continue working legally.
This is done at the Romanian General Inspectorate for Immigration within 30 days of your arrival.
