Secondment in Romania

For foreign citizens temporarily seconded to Romania by companies from abroad.

Our secondment service is for companies that want to temporarily transfer foreign personnel to Romania and for seconded individuals who need assistance in obtaining the necessary documents.

Seconding foreign staff to Romania involves a complex bureaucratic process, with many institutions involved and strict legal requirements. Companies face challenges interpreting the constantly changing laws, risking costly delays and uncertainty about legal compliance.

For seconded employees, the process can be overwhelming—from getting the secondment visa and work endorsement to the residence permit. Without expertise in this area, repeated trips to institutions and incorrect documentation can lead to significant delays or even rejected applications.

A lack of knowledge about the specifics of Romanian authorities and internal procedures makes the process unpredictable and time-consuming, affecting business plans and the personal experience of seconded employees.

  • Obtaining the secondment endorsement from the General Inspectorate for Immigration.
  • Full assistance for the long-stay secondment visa (D/DT type).
  • Obtaining the single permit and the ICT (Intra-Corporate Transfer) permit.
  • Managing the secondment process for mobile ICT workers.
  • Monitoring deadlines and proactive notifications for all stages of the process.
  • Representation before Romanian authorities for the entire duration of the secondment.
