Licensed recruitment of skilled Filipino professionals for Romanian employers. Your company is the direct employer — we run selection in Manila, the Romanian permit process and the Philippine exit formalities end to end. From 1 worker.
Every Romanian project runs on the same backbone: you define the roles, headcount and start date; our own DMW-licensed agency in Manila, Prime Search, sources and trade-tests candidates; you approve the shortlist (on-site or online); and we manage the Romanian permit process under your power of attorney while the Philippine side — contract verification, medical, pre-departure orientation and the Overseas Employment Certificate — runs in parallel. The employment contract is signed and verified before departure; your new employee lands, completes local onboarding and clocks in.
The Romanian specifics below are the part that makes Romania different from every other market we serve.
Long-stay work visa D/AM2 (operatives, deficit-occupations list) or D/AM1 (highly qualified) via WorkinRomania.gov.ro — new D/AM2 filings paused since September 2026. Romania replaced its work-permit regime on 27 April 2026 (OUG 32/2026 of 23 April 2026, M.O. 335/27.04.2026): the aviz de angajare of OG 25/2014 was repealed and third-country workers now come on two long-stay work visas — D/AM1 for highly qualified staff and D/AM2 for permanent and seasonal operatives, the Filipino route. A D/AM2 visa is possible only for occupations on the Ministry of Labour's list of deficit occupations, and the application is filed as a single file on WorkinRomania.gov.ro by a registered employer or an ANOFM-authorised placement agency, within the annual contingent set by Government Decision. Enforcement of the first list order was suspended by the Bucharest Court of Appeal in autumn 2026 and the Ministry deactivated the platform's registration and D/AM2 flows on 15 September 2026; we open Romanian rounds only once filings resume.
Labour-market test: No separate labour-market test: eligibility comes from the deficit-occupations list (D/AM2) or the highly-qualified criteria (D/AM1), within the annual contingent set by Government Decision.
Shortage occupations: The Lista ocupațiilor deficitare (Order of the Minister of Labour, semi-annual) decides D/AM2 eligibility; its first edition is suspended by the Bucharest Court of Appeal (autumn 2026). The annual contingent is set each year by Government Decision.
Deploying a Filipino worker abroad is regulated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). MWO Budapest has jurisdiction for Romania — employer accreditation and contract verification. The verified contract, together with the job order approved by the DMW, allows the worker to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) — the exit clearance without which no Filipino worker can legally leave for a job abroad. Pre-employment orientation, medical examination at a DOH-accredited medical clinic authorised to examine overseas Filipino workers and pre-departure orientation complete the sequence. Because we operate the licensed agency ourselves, this runs in parallel with the Romanian permit rather than after it.
Typical gate-to-gate time for Romania is Paused — resumes when D/AM2 filings reopen from signed engagement to the first arrival, driven mainly by the Romanian permit and the embassy appointment in Manila. Sourcing and trade testing usually take two to four weeks and are not on the critical path. We give you a written timeline for your specific role before you commit.
Sectors where Romanian employers most often hire Filipino workers through us:
Our contractual partner is the employer, and it is the employer we invoice for the service. You receive an individual offer for Romania covering sourcing, trade testing, documentation, the permit process and arrival support — there is no price list, because volumes, roles and the Romanian route differ from project to project. Direct employment means the worker's wage is paid by you under your Romanian contract; there is no intermediary employer.
A Romanian employer briefs us on roles and headcount. Within two to four weeks we present trade-tested candidates from Manila with video assessments; the employer interviews online and approves. We file the long-stay work visa d/am2 under power of attorney while Prime Search completes the DMW documentation. The employment contracts are signed and MWO-verified before departure; on arrival the workers complete registration and local onboarding and start on the floor — with our team reachable for the first months of integration. Whether the project is one specialist or a full shift, the mechanics are identical.
Established communities and English-friendly workplaces; the permit route itself changed on 27 April 2026 and is paused for new operative hires while the deficit-occupations list is before the courts.
The framework is the annual contingent set by Government Decision; the binding constraint today is the deficit-occupations list (D/AM2), whose first edition is suspended — we open rounds only once WorkinRomania filings resume.
