Questions workers ask

I arrived in Romania and there is no job for me.

This is not something a generic visa FAQ can solve. Preserve the pre-departure offer and contracts, record what the employer/agency now says, and urgently clarify both employment and immigration consequences. Do not assume that a valid entry document lets you remain indefinitely without the employment situation being resolved.

Boundary: Individual status can differ. Confirm promptly with IGI before relying on any deadline.

What to do next

  1. Contact the Romanian employer and any authorised placement agency in writing.
  2. Preserve all pre-departure evidence and travel dates.
  3. Ask IGI about your individual stay/status and deadlines.
  4. If recruitment deception or exploitation is suspected, obtain specialist support.
