Changing employers for a foreign citizen in Romania involves a complex bureaucratic process that requires in-depth knowledge of specific legislation and procedures. Without specialized expertise, this process can lead to the loss of residence rights, long waiting periods, and multiple trips to institutions.
Most foreigners who try to manage this process on their own encounter incomplete documentation, missed deadlines, or procedural errors that can lead to the rejection of their application. In some cases, foreign employees risk being in a legal void between two employers, which can compromise their status in Romania.
