01Know your purpose of stay
Your permit depends on why you are in Romania: work, study, family reunification or business. The documents you need follow from that purpose.
02Prepare your documents early
Most delays come from missing or untranslated papers. Start gathering early and check every document before your appointment.
- valid passport and visa, if one is required
- proof of the purpose of stay (contract, enrolment, marriage certificate)
- proof of accommodation in Romania
- proof of means of support and health insurance
- certified Romanian translations where needed
03Apply at the immigration office
Applications are filed with the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) in Sibiu. Check the official IGI website for current opening hours and requirements before you go.
04Renew before it expires
Plan your renewal well before the expiry date. A late renewal can complicate your stay.
05How I can help
I check your file, prepare the paperwork, talk to the authorities on your behalf and help if your application is refused. Consultations in English, French or Turkish, in Sibiu or online.
