Long Term Residency in Romania

Guestposter246

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ekin and have been working in Cluj since July 2017. I applied my long term residency in January 2023. I was told that I should receive a call or e-mail from immigration office regarding my situation in 6 months.


Obviously, it has been 4 months and nobody has contacted me yet. Should I expect this call on my 6th month or anything within 6 months after applying? I am asking because as summer is coming need to plan a few trips (both business and holiday) and would like to make sure.


How was your experience? You got after 6 months or had a chance to get earlier?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Ekin,

It doesn't hurt to call, but my experience is that in the USA when they say 6 months it means "Up to six months, but probably sooner." In România my immigration  experience is "We said six months and we mean it." But, again, it won't hurt to call.

In my experience, (quite a while ago)....the 6 months was 6 months, like to the day.  IGI were quite particular about it.  Also, it can be extended by 90 days if there are processing delays. 


I would not expect it to be ready sooner.

Hello everyone,

My name is Adriana. I submitted an application for long term residency last February 2024 but haven't received any update until now.

Should I receive a response letter via post or everything is communicated through the local general inspectorate in my area?

I would sincerely appreciate any information about the process.

Thank you!
