Foreign citizens who came to Romania for studies will benefit from facilities for accessing the labour market, once the Emergency Ordinance 25/2014 comes into force. They will also be able to use the online application www.portaligi.mai.gov.ro for extending their right to stay, according to the General Inspectorate for Immigration.
Based on the Cooperation Protocol on the admission and residence in Romania of aliens who came for studying and teaching, concluded between the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior, the officers of the Immigration Department of the Municipality of Bucharest organised 11 workshops with representatives of accredited public or private education institutions in Bucharest. The workshops addressed topics related to the legal framework, the need to inform foreign students and pupils on the regulation of their legal status in Romania, practical aspects on the transfer, expulsion from school, accommodation for foreign citizens who came to study, as well as the general employment framework during studies and after graduation. Such workshops were also held in Cluj, aiming to ensure the efficient management of the flow of foreign citizens who came to study in this county.
As of 30 September 2014 a number of 2547 foreign citizens were registered at IGI, who had come to study in Bucharest. The main countries of origin of foreign students in Bucharest are: Moldova, Israel, Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria and Germany. On the same date a number of 1270 foreign citizens were registered in Cluj County, who came here for studies. Most of them originate from: Tunis, Moldova, Morocco and Israel. In addition 773 citizens from European Union member states, the European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation were registered in Romania for studies. The main origin countries of the latter are France, Germany, Sweden and Italy.
Emergency Ordinance 25/2014, becoming effective as of 28 November 2014, will rule out the requirement of obtaining a work permit for foreign students in Romania who want to work during their studies.
