To Romanian employers:
Ukrainian refugees who want to work in our country do not need a work permit!
The government adopted today an O.U.G. which aims to remove any trace of bureaucracy for Ukrainian refugees.
Therefore, Ukrainian refugees now have the right to work in Romania, without restrictions, for a predetermined period, which can be extended, correlating with the evolution of events, based only on an affidavit!
Therefore, we present a summary of the O.U.G. that was approved today by the Government, in support of Ukrainian refugees.
The right of refugees to work in Romania
They can be employed, on Romanian territory, based only on the affidavit, provided to the Romanian employer; through this statement, they assume that they meet the conditions of professional training and experience necessary for the position they are to be employed on and that they do not have a criminal record incompatible with the activity they are about to carry out in Romania.
Citizens of Ukraine will have the opportunity to work without having to obtain a residence permit of work from Romania's diplomatic missions in Ukraine.
They can access three direct sources of employment: the places announced by the County Employment Agencies of ANOFM, directly to employers, or through a private application (the last two resources are linked below, in the Sources of Information section).
