Romania introduces new rules on employment and secondment of third-country nationals

On 27 April 2026, the Romanian Government approved a law that introduces significant regulatory changes to the processes governing the employment of third-country nationals. The new legislation aims to regulate the activities of the foreign placement agencies to protect third-country nationals from abuse or exploitation by employers and agents, while also safeguarding the interests of Romanian workers as well as workers from the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) member states and the Swiss Confederation.
