100,000 workers from other countries are allowed to work in Romania’s labor market in 2024, according to Government Decision no. 1,338.
„The decision regarding the establishment of this year’s quota has been taken considering Romania’s economic development potential, the need to ensure the labour force required in some sectors of activity or trades, which cannot be covered by Romanian workers, and also the need to prevent situations in which foreigners work in Romania without legal forms”, shows the press release from the IGI sent on Monday.
The Government establishes the quota of foreign workers who are allowed on the Romanian labour market at the proposal of the Ministry of Labor and Social Solidarity annually.
Immigration to Romania is lesser common than to other European states, with immigrants representing 2.1% of the population. However, Romania has experienced a growing wave of immigration in recent years.
