Hello,
I'm a Swiss citizen and a new expat in Romania. I arrived in Iași the 12th March.
I already know a few things about what needs to be done in terms of paperwork, but I'd like to be sure I don't forget anything.
What has been or is being done right now:
1. I contacted a local private health insurance. I will need it to request my Registration Certificate at the IGI. Already filled the questionnaire and returned it to the agent. The only one thing that worries me is that there was a field for the CNP on it, which I couldn't fill, of course, as I precisely need this health insurance to get my CNP at the IGI. Waiting for an answer from the agent. Hope it will be all good as I provided her a copy my passport and my identity card.
2. I asked the landlord to register the rental contract for my flat at the ANAF, as I've read here that it is mandatory. It will be done one of these days.
3. I started my registration to the unemployment office but I will need my Registration Certificate to finalize it. I will continue to be paid by the Swiss unemployment administration for three months as I asked for the exportation of my rights (with the U2 form, etc.). In the meantime, I'm doing what is called "intermediate gain" by working from home on call for my former employer (I have a contract for that).
Next steps:
4. Go at the IGI and ask for my Registration Certificate. I have all the possible legal documents translated in Romanian and apostilled. As I don't have any real work for now (I don't have sufficient and regular incomes for the very long term yet, this is what I mean) I will have to register as someone who has means of subsistence (I have savings on a Swiss bank account).
Here is my first question:
Do I need to have a Romanian bank account or can I show them a document with my savings on my Swiss bank account?
Note that my expatriation is definitive and so I want to ask for the Permanent Residence Card. Thing is, on the Swiss documentation I had in Switzerland, it was written that you have to ask for it in the first three months after your arrival in Romania but that is not at all what I understand when I read the informations I can find here in Romania. Here, I understand that we must have already lived at least five years in Romania before we can ask for the Permanent Residence Card.
So here comes my second question:
What is the correct information/procedure about the Permanent Residence Card?
And then what?
And here are my last questions and incertitudes:
Where do I register for taxes?
What am I forgetting?
Also, my professionnal situation is a bit special, because I'm still officialy registered as an unemployed both in Switzerland and in Romania, totally legally, and at the same time I'm still working a few hours per month on call and from home to do intermediate gain (which I have to declare in Switzerland so the difference (with my assured gain) can be paid by the unemployment administration), and this for a maximum of three months.
So, but...
Is there something I should do about this situation, here, in Romania, to be sure everything is totally legal in terms of taxes? I mean, how do I declare my incomes? Do I have to go at the ANAF and give them a copy of my contract? Or once I will get a CNP, everything will be done automatically and they will contact me when the time to pay comes?
Once again, my expatriation is definitive. I announced it to all the possible authorities in Switzerland and so also to the tax department, which means I'm gonna pay taxes in Switzerland until the 12th March 2018. So I'll have to pay my taxes in Romania from this date.
Sorry for this very long message but I really needed to explain my situation as best I could so I can get the proper help and informations.
Thank you for reading so far if you did and thanks a lot in advance to anyone who will want to help and enlighten me at least a very little bit.
