Romania Announces 90,000 work permit Quota for 2026
The Romanian government has officially approved the quota for non-EU workers for the year 2026. A total of 90,000 work and secondment permits have been allocated, signaling continued demand for foreign labor despite a slight adjustment from previous years.
Quota Distribution and Trends
The 90,000 slots are primarily targeted at sectors facing critical shortages, including:
- Construction and Infrastructure
- Logistics and Warehousing
- Agriculture and Food Processing
- Hospitality (HoReCa)
Competitive Landscape for South Asia
With a high volume of applicants from India, Bangladesh, and Nepal, the 2026 quota is expected to be filled faster than in 2025. The introduction of the digital platform in August 2026 will accelerate the "first come, first served" processing, making early application crucial.
