The average salary in Romania. Relocation for the purpose of employment

Romania is a power with an economy developing at an average pace. The population is more than 20 million people, and the national composition is represented mainly by Romanians, Gypsies, Hungarians, slightly fewer Ukrainians, Germans and Russians. With respect to citizens, migration and doing business, a democratic policy is applied.

Standard of living

Agricultural land occupies the largest part of the state, which contributes to the development of the economy. Minerals are also mined: oil, gas, coal, bauxite and manganese ores. The revenue part of the state budget is replenished by the tourism sector, because Romania is a country of forests, mountains and picturesque castles. Millions of tourists travel to Romania to enjoy the beautiful nature, and the low cost of accommodation and food only contributes to the influx of travelers.

The standard of living and average salary in Romania are far from the first lines among the countries of the European Union. The country is distinguished by average wage figures, and the high unemployment rate does not allow many Romanians to look into the future with confidence. Most of the population, by the way, is engaged in subsistence farming, works abroad or depends on social benefits. True, the standard of living in rural areas is traditionally slightly lower than in large cities.

The cost of living has changed dramatically since Romania joined the European Union. Gasoline has risen in price, but food prices remain quite low (especially compared to other European countries). The cost of housing ranges from 20,000 to 9.8 million euros. But transport is really considered a necessity: even a tourist with $ 100 in his pocket can rent a used car. Buying a personal vehicle will cost about 5,500 euros in Romania.

Jobs for Russians and Ukrainians

Few Romanian citizens know at least one foreign language, but knowledge of, for example, English, German or others will be a plus when looking for a decent position.By the way, many employers prefer foreign citizens: some are looking for qualified personnel, others require cheap labor.

Citizens of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and other post-Soviet states can count on such vacancies:

• engineer, programmer;
• security guard, handyman, driver;
• in the service sector: bartender, seller, consultant, waiter;
• sociologist, psychologist, teacher of foreign languages;
• medical worker (qualified personnel are required in medicine, now there is only one doctor per 3-4 thousand people in Romania).

Relocation for the purpose of employment

Accommodation in Romania is considered cheap. Prices for various services are lower than in other EU countries by 50%. But the organization of relocation begins with the search for an employer and housing. In addition, Romania has a very tense sanitary and epidemiological situation, so obtaining medical insurance is not only a requirement that must be met in order to obtain a visa, but also a real need.

To apply for a work visa, you will need to provide:

1. An invitation from the employer or a copy of the concluded employment contract.
2. A document confirming the presence of a place of residence (lease \ purchase and sale of an apartment).
3. Confirmation of the availability of a sufficient amount of financial resources to meet their own needs (payment of housing, purchase of food and so on).

The relocation process is carried out in stages. First you need to apply for a long-term national visa, and upon arrival - a residence permit for 1 year. You can then apply for citizenship.

Starting your own business

Investing in the country's economy is encouraged by the Romanian authorities. But before starting your own business, you must provide the appropriate authorities:

1. Business plan.
2. Bank statement with the presence of 100,000 euros to open a business.
3. Confirmation of the creation of a minimum of 15 jobs.

Organization of a business will take only about a week.
