IMPACT – LOW
What is the change? The number of available work permits in Romania for non-EU/EEA and non-Swiss nationals will remain set at 5,500 this year, the same as 2014.
What does the change mean? Neither the overall cap nor the caps on high-skilled workers and assignees will change compared with last year, though Romanian officials made small adjustments in other categories.
Background: The Romanian government’s 2015 quotas were published in the Official Gazette of Romania with the following breakdown:
The biggest change is in the local hire/permanent category, which rose by 300 compared with last year because a stand-alone category for athletes was eliminated and combined with this category. Quotas for seasonal workers rose by 100. This reorganization does not affect the number of permits available for EU Blue Cards or for assignees from non-Romanian employers.
BAL Analysis: Employers will not see major changes to quotas compared with last year and can plan recruitment strategies similar to last year.
