Pathway overview
For non-EU highly qualified workers with a binding job offer at Romania's confirmed salary threshold.
Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources: you need a binding job offer for highly qualified employment, a recognized higher-education qualification (or equivalent proven professional experience), and a minimum gross monthly salary of RON 8,620 — the most recently confirmed figure, effective 13 February 2025. A trustworthy 2026 update to this specific threshold wasn't found (a February 2026 release citing RON 9,272 is Romania's average gross wage generally, the input the threshold is calculated from, not a published new threshold figure itself) — this checker uses the last confirmed number rather than an unverified one.
