Why Romania

Romania in four numbers

Romania charges 16%16 corporate income tax and has been a full Schengen member since January 2025.

  1. 16%16

    Corporate income tax

    Micro-enterprises can pay a revenue tax instead, within the revenue cap.

  2. 1 day2

    Trade Register decision

    Filing can be done online with a qualified electronic signature.

  3. RON 500910

    Minimum capital, SRL

    Higher for SRLs above the turnover limit set by Law 239/2025.

  4. No10

    Local director required

    Law 31/1990 sets no residency condition for SRL directors.

Figures checked

Dividend tax went from 10% to 16%1516 for distributions from 1 January 2026.

Who this is not for

  • A company that needs a bank account with nobody travelling: there is no official rule, banks apply their own KYC.
  • Crypto businesses seeking a CASP licence: Romania had no designated MiCA authority as of July 2026.
  • Investors looking for a golden visa: Romania does not run one.

What you can check before you write to us

What we do

  • Every number on a page carries its check date and a link to the law or the authority that published it. Editorial policy
  • Our price is shown before you write, and government fees are listed apart from it. Pricing
  • Your form details are used to answer your request and for nothing else. Privacy Policy
  • Each page says which step is ours, which is yours and which is the authority’s. How we work

What we do not do

  • We do not promise a decision: the Immigration Inspectorate, ANAF and the Trade Register decide.
  • We do not fold government fees into our price.
  • We do not sell routes Romania does not have — there is no Romanian golden visa.
  • We do not represent anyone in court; that is reserved to licensed advocates.

Questions we are asked most

Can you guarantee my permit will be approved?

No. The General Inspectorate for Immigration decides. We answer for a complete, correctly filed application and for keeping to our quoted timeline.

Are you a law firm?

No. We prepare and file documents ourselves. Court representation is reserved to licensed advocates, and each page says where that line runs.

Does Romania have a golden visa?

No. Romania offers no residence or citizenship for a passive investment. Business residence needs a company and an approved business plan.

Are government fees in your price?

No. Government fees are paid separately at cost and are listed with their source on each page.

How fast is a Romanian company registered?

The Trade Register decides on a complete file within 1 day under Law 265/2022; preparing the file takes longer.

Can I register a company without travelling?

Yes. Filing with the Trade Register can be done online with a qualified electronic signature. A bank account is a separate question.
