Seven Roads to Romania: Which Path Fits You, and Which Myths to Ignore
Method & sources
The claim-by-claim ledger: every figure, every rule, every check.
Verification ledger (fetched 2026-09-19)
D1 · WorkinRomania visas page (transitional, 200)
The D/AM1/D/AM2 split text, the single-application flow, the 90-day initial visa — all present; the testing banner persists (“testing/operationalization phase…does not produce legal effects”), hence the warning on the P1/P2 cards.
D2 · Shortage-list page (200)
“List of shortage occupations” reachable, stable address; the P2 card links exactly there.
D3 · IGI pages (200)
Business: the package of three, the €30,000 insurance, the €300 fee, the 150/200/500-thousand tranches; CEO plus other purposes: 2 years without shareholder status, €50,000 capital; single permit: 265 lei + €120, filing 30 days ahead, 30-day decision; reunification general channel: sponsor conditions, net minimum per member, 3 months; refugee channel: 9 months.
D4 · Study in Romania (200)
Visa FAQ: D/SD, the acceptance letter, minimum-wage means, filing at missions; work FAQ: students 6 hours/day with no work permit.
D5 · EU Immigration Portal Romania highly qualified (200)
Salary ≥ 4 × the average gross; the IGI page states no multiplier — the P3 card records both wordings.
D6 · EC Blue Card page (200) + EEAS Schengen FAQ Q13 (PDF, 200)
The 12-month mobility text and the 90/180 travel-right text — the two sources of the M5 sentence. The directive text on EUR-Lex was AWS-WAF-blocked, unverified directly, recorded as such.
D7 · INSSE monthly earnings series (200)
Jan–Jul 2026: 9220/9272/9902/9740/9483/9564/9709 lei, August unpublished; the math takes the latest month, July, 9709: nomad 3×=29,127, Blue Card 4× illustrative 38,836 (illustrative).
D8 · eViza (home 200, /NeedVisa 404)
The old NeedVisa path is dead; the page links only the eViza home, and per-category depth goes to this site's Schengen guide.
