GET A PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT IN ROMUNIA
According to article 71 of Decree no. 194 of 12 December 2002 on the regime of foreigners in Romania (as amended and supplemented), the right to long-term residence is granted to foreigners if they collectively meet the following basic conditions:
- had the right of temporary residence or enjoyed international protection on the territory of Romania continuously for the last 5 years prior to the submission of the application;
- provide evidence of the availability of maintenance funds at the level of the minimum basic wage;
- provided proof of social health insurance;
- provided proof of ownership of the residential premises in accordance with the law;
- speak Romanian at least at a satisfactory level;
- do not pose a threat to national security;
- do not pose a threat to public order.
However, you must keep in mind that there are exceptions and additions for each particular case, which the specialists of FC Prikhodko and Partners will be able to inform you about during the consultation.

They may include:
- a valid certificate of registration issued upon arrival in the country;
- proof that the temporary resident lived in this country – utility bills, lease agreements;
- confirmation of the grounds for residence in the country and proper financial security – salary receipts, bank statements, tax returns;
- identity and civil status documents – passport, birth and marriage certificates;
- certificate of non-conviction issued by the Romanian authorities.
Acquisition of citizenship of Romania
After 5 years of residence in GNP status and obtaining permanent residence, Romanians can apply for citizenship. Investors who have invested more than 1 million EUR in the country’s economy are eligible to apply for status after 4 years of residence in Romania or after 2.5 years if they are spouses of Romanian citizens. The rest of the residents can apply for citizenship after 3 years in the status of permanent residence in the country.
Required package of documents for registration of Romanian citizenship after permanent residence:
- a legalized copy of the passport with a translation into Romanian;
- A notarized personal responsibility statement showing that the applicant does not currently engage in or support acts against the rule of law or national security, or in the past;
- documents of the civil status of the applicant (certificate of birth, marriage or divorce);
- a certificate of non-conviction from abroad in the original and a copy of it with a translation into Romanian;
- birth certificates of minor children with translation into Romanian (if necessary);
- consent of parents to grant Romanian citizenship to children (if necessary);
- the consent of a minor who has reached the age of 14 to grant Romanian citizenship, certified by a notary in the presence of one of the parents (if necessary).

3 question
Do you need a consultation urgently?
Is it mandatory to have a legal address in Romania?
Yes. During registration, you must provide a document confirming the right to use the premises at the address of the future registered office. For foreign owners, this can be a lease agreement or a legal address service.
Is it necessary to immediately register as a VAT payer?
Not always. The need for VAT registration depends on the planned turnover, type of activity, work with EU clients, imports or exports, and other specifics of the business model. Before launching, it is worth assessing the tax burden and choosing the optimal registration option.
Why shouldn't you just add all possible CAEN codes to the company?
Activity codes affect not only formal registration but also bank compliance, contracts, obtaining permits, and further business scaling. From 2025, the CAEN Rev. 3 classifier is applied in Romania, so the list of codes is better formed according to the actual sources of income and the planned work model.
