Questions workers ask

My recruiter says the Romanian work visa fee is €800.

The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently lists the processing fee for a long-stay D visa as €300 for applications submitted for validation from 27 April 2026. An €800 package may include other items, but it should not be represented as the official Romanian visa-processing fee without a clear breakdown.

What to do next

  1. Ask for an itemised breakdown.
  2. Compare the claimed visa-processing component with the official eVisa fee page.
  3. Record which entity receives each payment.
