Romania Employment Visa D-AM: Long-Stay Visa for Work Purposes
Romania remains a common work abroad destination for third-country nationals seeking employment in Europe. For foreign workers, one of the key visa categories is the long-stay visa for employment, commonly referred to as D/AM.
The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the long-stay visa for employment is granted to foreign nationals who will work in Romania for an employer. The same official guidance also states that this visa certifies the foreign national’s right to work in Romania.
This makes the D/AM visa an important category for applicants who are selected for Romania-based employment. However, applicants should understand that this visa is connected to the employer and the approved work purpose.
What this means for applicants
Applicants cannot treat the Romania D/AM visa as a general travel visa. It is for employment and must match the applicant’s purpose of stay. The job, employer, work authorization, and visa application must be aligned.
Before submission, applicants should check whether their documents are complete and whether the employer-side requirements are ready. Missing or inconsistent documents may cause delays.
Documents applicants may need to prepare
The exact list can vary depending on the embassy, employer, and current rules, but applicants should commonly prepare:
Valid passport
Visa application form
Recent photo
Employment-related documents
Work authorization or employer documents
Proof of accommodation, if required
Medical insurance, if required
Police clearance or other supporting documents, if requested
Proof of payment of visa fees, if applicable
Applicants should follow the latest Romanian embassy or e-Visa instructions at the time of submission.
Important reminder
Romania work applications are employer-linked. Applicants should not assume they can change employer or job freely after approval. Any change must follow Romanian rules and employer or government procedures.
LGTC reminder: Final hiring, visa approval, work permit, and deployment are subject to employer, Romanian authorities, and embassy approval.
