Keep Romanian Immigration Office up to date, December 2009

 
During an assignment, an expat status may change with regard to his or her personal documents, address, civil status, etc. As these modifications are normal facts of life sometimes they are overlooked from immigration point of view. Consequently, we decided to bring to your attention which are the changes that have to be notified to the Romanian Immigration Office and the timelines.

The employer company has to notify the termination of the work contract in case this termination came at employer’s initiative or due to the parties’ agreement. This notification has to be made in maximum 5 days since the event occurred. The same term and procedure have to be followed if the assignment came to its end.

Also, there are certain events which have to be announced by the foreigner personally. Thus, if you change your address, change /lose/ extend your passport, change your citizenship, get married/divorced, have a new child, have a deceased in the family, change your employment relationship, lose/ have it stolen/ deteriorate your residence permits (except issued for work purpose), etc. you have to notify the Immigration Office in 5 days since the event occurred. If you lose/ have it stolen/ deteriorate your residence permit for work purpose or work authorization you have only 3 days since you’ve become aware.

In case you don’t respect the above terms penalties are between EUR100 and EUR400.
