To obtain temporary residence for investors in Romania, foreign nationals must meet certain investment criteria. The minimum required investment is typically €50,000 in a Romanian company (such as a limited liability company) or €70,000 in a joint-stock company. The applicant must also provide documentation including proof of accommodation, valid health insurance, and financial stability to support themselves during their stay.

If the investment amount is higher, such as €500,000 or €1,000,000, the investor may benefit from longer temporary residence permits and even faster paths to permanent residency. Moreover, an investment that creates a higher number of jobs can also extend the investor’s stay in Romania. After four to eight years of legal residence in Romania, investors can apply for citizenship.
