Three confirmed tiers — no higher
The difference between tiers isn’t just the amount but the job-creation requirement — only the director role requires no job creation at all.
What the process consists of
A director’s investment goes into company real estate or technology assets, not an abstract bank deposit.
How the process runs
A good fit if
A poor fit if

Frequent questions
Why doesn’t the site show €500K or €1M figures seen elsewhere?
Different sources give different figures and conditions for these higher tiers (€150K/25 jobs vs €500K→3 years vs €1M→accelerated citizenship) — they contradict each other. Publishing an unverified, contested figure is worse than not publishing at all, so this page shows only the 3 consistently confirmed tiers.
Can you become a director without creating any jobs?
Yes — per the available data, the director/administrator role with an investment from €50,000 in company real estate or technology assets does NOT require job creation, unlike the SRL and SA shareholder roles.
Why is there no direct link to the official OUG 194/2002 text?
The official ordinance text is hosted on mae.ro, but the server returned a 503 error as of the checked date — this page’s source is secondary (a law firm); direct verification with the General Inspectorate for Immigration (IGI) is recommended before applying.
Does this programme lead to PR or citizenship?
No — this page covers only a 1-year renewable temporary residence permit. Claims elsewhere about accelerated citizenship via €1M investment are not consistently confirmed and are not shown here.
Do the jobs created have to be filled by Romanian citizens?
Per the available data, the requirement is stated as "full-time jobs" without an explicit citizenship condition for employees — verify exact criteria with the appointed firm before filing.
What happens if jobs are cut after receiving residence?
Renewal is likely tied to maintaining the conditions — the exact consequence mechanism for reducing staff is not disclosed on this page.
