Romania has become one of the most active European corridors for Pakistani labour, as its construction, manufacturing and industrial employers face persistent workforce shortages. Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment actively processes Pakistani workers into Romania — including the work permit and cererea unică and D/AM1/D/AM2 long-stay visa route under OUG 32/2026 — and we manage the Pakistan-side compliance end-to-end.

Romania is a corridor Crown works week in, week out — so the WorkinRomania.gov.ro application, the embassy steps and the points where files usually stall are familiar ground. From our Islamabad office, that day-to-day familiarity is what turns a slow EU work-visa process into a deployment that actually lands.

Întrebări Frecvente — pentru Angajatori din România

Căutăm o agenție de recrutare forță de muncă străină — puteți aduce muncitori din Pakistan?

Da. Crown Enterprises este o agenție pakistaneză de recrutare licențiată de guvern (Licență OEP 2869/RWP). Asigurăm import de forță de muncă pentru construcții, producție și textile — de la selecția candidaților până la avizul de muncă și viza D/AM.

Cât durează procesul de import forță de muncă din Pakistan?

De obicei 6 până la 12 săptămâni de la confirmarea cererii până la sosirea muncitorului, în funcție de procesarea cererii unice pe WorkinRomania.gov.ro (termen legal: 30 de zile). Pregătim documentația în paralel pentru a scurta procesul.

Angajarea de lucrători străini implică vreun cost pentru angajator?

Selecția, testarea și suportul administrativ sunt gratuite pentru angajator — plătiți doar o taxă fixă per muncitor, iar costurile legale de aviz și viză revin angajatorului ca sponsor.

Oferiți și muncitori calificați din străinătate, nu doar personal necalificat?

Da. Avem o bază de sudori, dulgheri, operatori de mașini și tehnicieni textili, pe lângă muncitori necalificați pentru construcții și producție — toți testați profesional.

În ce județe din România lucrați?

Lucrăm cu angajatori din toată România, inclusiv București, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Brașov și Constanța.

Care este cea mai de încredere agenție autorizată de recrutare forță de muncă străină?

Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment este licențiată de BEOE (Licență OEP 2869/RWP), certificată ISO 9001:2015 și activă de 16+ ani, cu experiență verificabilă — am colaborat cu companii internaționale din petrol și gaze, energie și construcții.

Oferiți muncitori pentru meserii specifice precum sudori, electricieni sau șoferi?

Da. Avem o bază de candidați testați în prealabil pentru sudură, electricieni, operatori textile, șoferi de vehicule grele și muncitori generali în construcții.

Oferiți servicii de outsourcing forță de muncă sau muncitori pe contract pe perioadă determinată?

Da. Asigurăm personal pentru perioada corespunzătoare avizului de muncă și vizei D/AM, în funcție de necesitățile angajatorului — un model de outsourcing forță de muncă fără angajament pe termen lung.

Two Pakistan-side compliance steps every employer should know about.

What is PakSoftSkills, and is it mandatory?

Yes. Since 19 November 2025, every Pakistani worker travelling abroad on a work visa must complete the free PakSoftSkills training and register at softskills.oec.gov.pk before the Protector of Emigrants will stamp their passport — without it, the worker cannot legally depart. We handle this registration for every candidate as a standard part of our pre-departure process, so it never becomes a bottleneck on your side.

How are candidates trade-tested before deployment?

Skilled and semi-skilled candidates are trade-tested through NAVTTC-approved centres before we shortlist them to you — welders, electricians, machine operators and other technical trades are verified against recognised standards, not just self-reported experience.

Licensed deployment — OEP 2869/RWP.

Crown Enterprises Overseas Employment is a BEOE-licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2869/RWP), ISO 9001:2015 certified, and a member of POEPA and LCCI. Licence and ISO copies are attached to the employer feasibility pack on request.

These are the sectors where Romanian employers hire Pakistani workers most:

The Process

How the Romania work-visa route works — updated for OUG 32/2026.

Romania overhauled this system on 27 April 2026 under Emergency Ordinance OUG 32/2026, with full digital operation live since 8 August 2026. The old "aviz de angajare" issued by IGI no longer exists — everything now runs through one electronic platform. In practice it runs like this:

  1. Employer registration on WorkinRomania.gov.ro The Romanian employer (or, for shortage-list roles, an authorised placement agency acting on its behalf) registers on the new electronic platform.
  2. Cererea unică (single application) This replaces the old work-permit application entirely — submitted electronically with the worker's documents, and resolved within 30 days.
  3. D/AM1 or D/AM2 long-stay visa Highly qualified roles use D/AM1 (no quota). General trades — construction, textiles, manufacturing, most roles we place — use D/AM2, tied to Romania's official List of Shortage Occupations. Official visa fee: 300 EUR.
  4. BEOE Protectorate (Pakistan) In parallel, we complete the worker's BEOE Protectorate clearance, attestation and medicals in Pakistan.
  5. Bilingual employment contract & REGES registration OUG 32/2026 requires the contract in both Romanian and the worker's language, registered in Romania's REGES system.
  6. Travel & residence permit The worker travels on the D/AM visa, enters Romania, and obtains the residence permit (permis de ședere) to stay and work legally.

This reflects the framework in force as of August 2026. Romanian immigration rules continue to evolve under the new platform — Crown confirms the live requirements for your specific roles before anything is committed.

Pakistan Side

The compliance we handle in Pakistan.

Every Pakistani worker going to Romania must be processed through the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment (BEOE) and cleared by the Protectorate of Emigrants — it is a legal requirement, and doing it correctly is what separates a compliant deployment from a problem. As a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2869/RWP), we handle Protectorate clearance, attestation, GAMCA/required medicals, police clearance and pre-departure formalities, so your workers arrive legally documented and ready.

FAQ

Romania recruitment questions.

What is the Romania D/AM visa?

The D/AM is Romania's long-stay employment visa. It is issued once the employer's work permit (aviz de angajare) is approved, and it lets the worker enter Romania, start the job and then apply for a residence permit.

Who applies for the Romanian work permit?

Since OUG 32/2026, the Romanian employer (or an authorised placement agency for shortage-list roles) files the cererea unică on WorkinRomania.gov.ro for the named worker — the old IGI work-permit application no longer exists. We prepare and coordinate every Pakistan-side document that application depends on.

How long does the Romania process take?

It depends on the case and current processing loads — the work permit and then the D/AM visa each take time, while BEOE Protectorate clearance runs alongside. Crown gives a realistic timeline for your specific batch up front, not an optimistic guess.

Do you handle the full process?

On the Pakistan side Crown runs the whole chain — sourcing, trade testing, medicals, attestation and BEOE Protectorate clearance — and works hand in hand with the Romanian employer on the permit and visa stages.

Which workers are most in demand in Romania?

Construction trades, welders, textile and manufacturing operatives and hospitality staff are the roles Romanian employers ask for most.

Cum funcționează importul de forță de muncă străină din Pakistan?

Crown realizează selecția și testarea candidaților în Pakistan, iar angajatorul român (sau o agenție de plasare autorizată, pentru ocupațiile deficitare) depune cererea unică pe platforma WorkinRomania.gov.ro — vechiul aviz de muncă emis de IGI nu mai există din aprilie 2026. Gestionăm întregul proces din partea Pakistanului, fără costuri pentru angajator.

Există o agenție de recrutare pentru muncitori necalificați și calificați din Pakistan?

Da. Crown este o agenție pakistaneză de recrutare licențiată (OEP 2869/RWP), activă din 2010, care oferă personal străin calificat și necalificat pentru construcții, producție și textile.

Why Pakistan

Pakistan vs. other source countries — an honest comparison.

Employers evaluating South Asian labour sourcing usually weigh Pakistan against India and Nepal. Here's how they actually compare for the trades Crown places most:

Strongest tradesConstruction, welding, textiles, general manufacturingTechnical/skilled trades, automotive, CNCRepetitive-line production, logistics
Gulf experienceVery common — most trade-tested candidates have worked Saudi/UAE/Qatar sitesVariable by tradeVariable
English proficiencyWidespread among trade-tested candidatesWidespreadImproving, less consistent
Cost competitivenessStrong — wage expectations keep project budgets viableModerate, rises with skill tierStrong for volume/general roles
Our licensingDirect — BEOE-licensed OEP (2869/RWP), no intermediary layer——

General patterns based on trade specialisation — individual candidate quality varies by role and batch. We're licensed and active specifically in the Pakistan corridor; for India or Nepal sourcing, a dedicated source-country partner is the right call.
