Foreigners may be employed or deployed to Romania based on a notice of employment which the employer has to obtain from the General Inspectorate for Immigration, according to an ordinance adopted by the Government, reports local Mediafax.

According to the Government, the ordinance aims to harmonize the national legislation with a series of European regulations in this area. Foreigners legally staying in Romania may be employed based on the notice of employment, obtained by employers.

Under the same normative act, a notice of employment is not needed for the employment of foreigners whose free access on the labor market in Romania is established by treaties concluded by Romania with other states. The same goes for foreigners who are to carry out temporary teaching or scientific activities in specialized institutions.

Also, foreigners holding a long-term right of residence, a temporary stay right for family reunification, or a temporary stay right for studies, can be employed without obtaining the notice, repots Mediafax.

For the deployment of a foreigner on Romanian territory, the employer in Romania has to obtain the notice of deployment, issued under the same conditions that have to be met in the case of the notice for employment.

The employer will have to pay in RON a tariff of EUR 200 to have the notice for employment/deployment issued, according to Mediafax.
