Romania work route in 2026
Romania approved 90,000 new non-EU worker places for 2026. A worker with a clear CV, target job, experience, language level, and documents can move faster.
The practical message is simple: prepare before the window becomes crowded, not after shortlisting has already started.
What non-EU workers should prepare
Start with your CV, work history, education, languages, origin country, target role, passport, qualification proof, experience proof, criminal record, and insurance.
Before travel, check that the job title, salary, working time, accommodation, transport, payment date, safety conditions, and contract language are clear. Do not rely on vague promises or undocumented fees.
Official route and Schengen context
Official public information describes employment visa routes such as D/AM1 and D/AM2. The exact route depends on the real job situation, contracts, shortage conditions, and the legally responsible Romanian partner.
Romania is a full Schengen member from 1 January 2025, but Schengen membership does not guarantee a work visa, right of stay, border entry, job placement, or quota availability. Those outcomes depend on the official procedure and competent authorities.
