Romania: What the D/AM1 work visa covers
The visa targets roles across several professional categories, including:
- IT specialists
- Engineers
- Economists
- Managers
To qualify, applicants must be employed in Romania under a full-time individual employment contract.
D/AM1 visa: Countries whose citizens can apply
Romania has confirmed that only citizens from three specific countries are currently eligible to apply:
- Republic of Moldova
- Ukraine
- Republic of Serbia
The official eligibility clause reads:
"Citizens of the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and the Republic of Serbia employed in Romania under a full-time individual employment contract."
The visa represents a targeted approach by Romania to address gaps in its skilled labour market by drawing from a defined pool of neighbouring and partner nations, rather than opening applications to foreign workers broadly.
Romania lists countries eligible for visa-free entry
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that Romania allows citizens of more than 60 countries to enter the country without a short-stay visa.
The visa-free list includes two African countries, Seychelles and Mauritius, while valid Schengen visas and residence permits can also allow short stays of up to 90 days.
