Romania has fixed its 2020 quota for foreign
workers.
The quota of foreign workers newly admitted on the Romanian
labour market is established annually by Government Decision,
following the proposal of the Ministry of Labour and Social
Protection.
The current decision setting a quota of 30,000 foreign
workers was made taking into account Romania's potential for
economic development, as well as the need to ensure the labour
force required in some sectors of activity or professions, which
cannot be covered by Romanian workforce.
The measure adopted by the Government took into account the data
communicated by the General Inspectorate for Immigration, according
to which, from 1 January to 30 September 2019, 21,366 permits for
foreign employees were issued, twice as many as in the the whole of
2018.
