IGI steps for Pakistanis
Romanian employers obtain IGI work authorisation for the non-EU worker, then the applicant attends the accredited Romanian mission for the D/AM long-stay work visa. The sequence is employer-led; no authorisation before employer selection is recognised.
- Construction and logistics are the highest-volume Romania corridors for Pakistanis, including Gulf-experienced welders, electricians, plumbers and drivers
- Hospitality and housekeeping where employer-matched
Rawalpindi, KPK and northern Pakistan specifics
- Protector/BEOE: allow time for Protector stamp via Rawalpindi or Peshawar offices. We confirm the flag and prepare the OEP licence check and insurance steps.
- PCC: district PCC for your home district (Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Swat, Gilgit, Chitral, Abbottabad, Mansehra etc) plus GCC PCC if you held UAE/Saudi/Qatar residence. District name and CNIC spelling must match passport.
- Attestation: IBCC/HEC plus MOFA apostille/attestation. Northern-area NADRA spelling variants delay missions if not normalised early.
- Filing venue: Pakistan nationals file via the Romanian mission accredited to Pakistan (Islamabad channel). Those with valid GCC residence may have the option to file at the mission serving their GCC residence; we map the better venue by your Iqama/Emirates ID validity.
FAQs
Where do applicants from Rawalpindi, KPK and northern Pakistan file for Romania?
At the Romanian mission accredited to Pakistan, often served via Islamabad with outsourced acceptance support where designated. Northern-area and KPK applicants file through the same Islamabad-accredited channel. Check the Romanian Mission Pakistan page for the current acceptance centre and checklist.
Is Protector required for Romania from Pakistan?
For emigration-flagged corridors, the Protectorate of Emigrants (Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Karachi, Lahore) and BEOE clearance may apply. We check whether Romania is currently flagged and prepare the Protector file where needed.
Which occupations do Romanians hire Pakistanis for most?
Construction (masons, steel fixers, helpers), logistics and warehouse, hospitality helpers and kitchen, and GCC-experienced electricians, welders and drivers. Each needs employer selection before IGI steps.
Do you guarantee jobs?
No. Eligibility assessment and application support only. Employment depends on employer selection and IGI and consular decisions are made by Romanian authorities.
