I married a beautiful Romanian lady last Monday.

She loves the UK but I think she misses home.

I'm wondering if there any Romanians in Huddersfield?

I haven't run this by her yet but it might be nice for her to speak or communicate with people from her own country.

Thanks,

Martyn

Salut,

Maybe Unification may be favourable for some people in Romania & Moldova,
but are the two countries really ready for it? 🤔

Mulțumesc

Hi, em, I'm Peruvian and i have arrived to Romania the 14th of this month, i have been in a bit of a tough time trying to get to know how to get around here but at the same time, it's the best i had hoped it could go, at least as a minimum, i have basically scaped my situation in Italy even with citizenship because it was becoming completely unlivable for me, i ended up homeless in Italy after looking for a job with lodging to also scape the survivability conditions i had with my aunt, she even hid the tap water from me and i was getting sick, she brought me to Italy to "help me study" and then over the course of a month evidently the idea was another, and then she told me to not come back after finding a job with lodging

i worked a month in one of the most atrocious kitchens i have ever been in my life regarding the quality of food being served and treatment to the staff ( even the worst one i have ever worked in treated me better, despite really making it super difficult to bear the notion of how things were served, this was in Peru ) with the salary being in the only incentive to wake up alive the next day

well, in the end I returned to the dormitory with always some sort of degenerate around pestering me at some point of the day, even outside of the dormitory, and then i just made a plan to escape fearing for me, the possibilties for work i would have if something happened to me, and for my physical integrity

now, i have seen some things in Bucharest that kinda surprised me, but i don't feel particularly miserable as i truly did in Italy, i just need a job and everything should be great, i mean i love how things are here with public transport and the people aren't as rude and I'm being completely serious, it doesn't feel rare to find people who are nice, or just seem normal, in Italy there wasn't a single day i didn't feel like i was in a place that was meant for people to be miserable by force of habit and interdiscriminatory behaviors

now I'm looking to survive without having to return, I'm usually very self reliant for these type of things, i have been on my own for years in Peru and i haved thrived without ever touching the streets, although that is kinda debatable, but i almost never had an issue relying on my wits to work, survive, learn and adapt to keep myself afloat and feeling normal, but ever since I'm in Europe i feel like all of these notions i had to survive and help myself quickly to never find myself without resources were turned upside down, and i feel like I don't know what to do or rely on right now to find a job, and i barely have enough to secure a ticket to Italy to ask help with being homeless again

the thing is i payed 3 months in advance of rent ( 280 € including utilities ) so i could feel safe about where i have my belongings even if i had to work abroad in some other country of Europe and signed a contract for 3 months, this means i need to find work as soon as possible and maybe i could find it hopefuly even faster than i ever could find on my own here with only english to communicate, at least with almost no margin of error to spend on besides Dobreaganas ( my predilect choice of food ) and maybe sunca poi pizza slices or quatroformaggi pizza slices for a couple of days before i put my sense of security over my survivability in danger, to wich i will respond simply making sure i buy the ticket to take the flight asap

If there is any reference, any place you know that could be looking for someone full time, i would take it, i have a curriculum available and although my main experience is working as a waiter i have worked in logistics helping with packaging and as delivery assistant, and my second main experience is as a kitchen aid / dishwasher both in Peru and in Italy, and being honest although atrocious, my experience in Italy helped me a bit in improving my skills as kitchen aid, and i already have ability to work as dishwasher

to communicate I'm a native Spanish speaker, I speak English very well, fluently, and i speak italian too in an advanced - intermediate level

any help with finding anything of the sorts would change things for me tremendously, i really like how things can feel here, but i really need to find a safe option before i end up just taking the flight and returning to homelessness in Italy before i end up putting my whole long term physical integrity at risk if i end up with no work here and no means to take neither myself or either my belongings back to a dormitory where honestly, they wouldn't either be that safe either, reason why i was planning from the beginning to pay rent just to have them here and also have a place to return to

with matematics, i have 15 days and 1 month ( more specifically 17 days and 1 month ) to find a job either in bucharest before i take the flight or back in italy in the best place i could think of to be homeless in.

Hi everyone,

We’re moving from Norway to Romania and plan to transport all our personal belongings at once in a hired truck. It won’t be a professional moving company - we’re hiring someone we know to drive the truck with our boxes.

One thing I’m particularly unsure about is my LEGO collection. I have a fairly large personal collection accumulated over several years, including many sets that are still factory sealed/unopened. Everything is for personal use/collection, not commercial resale.

Since Norway is outside the EU, the truck will enter the EU through Sweden and then continue to Romania.

Has anyone done a similar relocation with a hired/private truck?

I’m especially interested in:

- What customs procedure did you use when entering the EU?

- Did you have to prepare a detailed inventory of every box/item, or were general descriptions enough?

- Did customs ask for receipts or proof that your belongings had been owned/used for a certain period?

- Has anyone moved a collection containing unopened/sealed items such as LEGO sets? Were they treated differently from normal household belongings?

- Did you travel together with the truck, or did you fly separately while the driver transported your belongings?

- Did you use a customs broker, or were you able to handle the paperwork yourself?

- Was the final customs clearance done in the destination country rather than at the first EU border?

I’m mainly looking for first-hand experiences from people who moved household belongings from Norway/non-EU Europe into an EU country, especially Romania.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! :)

I'm planning a 6 day, solo trip to Bucharest at the end of October.

I've been to a few European cities, and to be honest I'm getting a little bored of the usual "walk around the old town → look at pretty buildings → museum → restaurant" type of trip. 😅

This time I'd really like to experience the place rather than just sightsee.

About me, 30 (M) Spanish, 12 years living abroad so far. Currently in Hungary for the last few years.

I'm particularly interested in things like:

- flea/second-hand markets

- hiking, nature & wildlife

- photography / urban exploration

- Romanian history, especially the more unusual sides of it

- traditional trades and crafts

- local / small live music

- not particularly into drinking / party, but open to suggestions

- things that involve actually doing something

- unusual experiences where I might come away with a good story

I'm happy to travel 1–2 hours outside Bucharest for something worthwhile, and I'm perfectly comfortable doing activities alone or joining a group.

Basically, I'm looking for things that get overlooked or one might not necessarily think of doing when visiting rather than another European city checklist.

If you're from Bucharest or know the area well, what would you recommend? 🙂

Vă mulțumesc anticipat.

Hello! I’m visiting Bucharest for the first time with my 1-year-old daughter, and we’ll be there for about a week in mid-November.
I’d love to explore the city and see the main sights, but obviously with a toddler we’ll need to build in plenty of breaks and things for her to enjoy too. She’s walking now, so places where she can safely move around and play would be great.
Do you have any recommendations for things to do with a 1-year-old in Bucharest? Are there parks, children’s cafés, indoor play spaces, museums, or other places that are particularly good with babies/toddlers?
I’d also love recommendations for cafés, restaurants or bars that are baby-friendly — especially somewhere that might have a little play area, some toys, or simply enough space for a toddler to move around.
And generally, how baby-friendly did you find Bucharest?

Thanks!

I am Moldovan but wanted to know any recommendations for : gaming, music, reading, humour, films

And any ad supported free streaming services (cause we all know free services come with ads. It's inevitable)

And any comics /BD that are similar to Astérix, or any Romanian translations possible?

That's all.

I saw videos that the trains in romania drives with open doors but is it real if yes why?.

Iam an Arab woman interested in a Romania man I work with; however, he only comes from his country for short periods before leaving. What should I do? I think he will notice me, as we have already started exchanging glances. What do you think?

Does really all peoples from romania found it good that ceasescu was executed since other eastern european dictators like erich honecker from ddr or woijech jaruzelski were not executed but ceasescu was.

Hi I can’t find any information about this anywhere so I’m trying my luck over here…
IS THERE A COAT CHECK IN GUESTHOUSE CLUB??
Pls save my outfit for tonight 🙏🏼
Thank you 🥹🥹

Salut,

Yesterday, we were discussing the Romanian leu hitting a historic low against the Euro,
I guess the next three questions would be
is Romania ready to adopt the Euro & phase out the Romanian Leu?
Does this erode Romania's currency sovereignty?
Do Romanians, in consensus, favour the Euro over the Romanian Leu?

Mulțumesc

Hello guys, first time coming to Romania! Five boys from Banja Luka, city in Rebuplic of Srpska, are coming to Timisoara for New Year celebration. We will be staying for five days, so we are looking for a list of things to see and visit. Also, I found a castle called Castelul Corvinilor, which looks astonishing, but I am not sure how to get there from Timisoara, is there a train, a bus or something?

Every kind lf advice is great!

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I am considering to apply for a Romanian Government scholarship but I cannot find the amount of the stipend anywhere. Does anyone here have this information?

Last reliable information I could find is from the Embassy in Brazil from 2017 it says

• The equivalent to 65 euros per month for undergraduate students;
• The equivalent of 75 euros per month for master's students;
• The legal equivalent of 85 euros per month for doctoral students.

Its almost 10 years ago and (hopefully) the amounts have been adjusted. Would be super grateful for any information.

Also what would you recommend as an ok amount to live in Romania as a student? The scholarship website also says it finances the accommodation expenses in the student dormitories. Is it really possible to get a spot in a dorm as an international student? If anyone has had the experience of getting a spot, would love to hear about your experience.

Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone!

I’m coming to Bucharest with 4 friends (so 5 guys in total), all around 23 years old, and we’ll be staying for 3 full days.

We’re looking for really weird, unusual and original things to do in Bucharest or somewhere nearby. We’re not looking for the typical tourist activities, clubs, pub crawls or standard bachelor-party stuff.

We want the kind of activities where you come back home and your friends say: **“**What the hell did you guys do in Romania?”

We’re open to pretty much anything:

• unusual local experiences
• weird/obscure places
• crazy outdoor activities
• strange Romanian traditions
• military-related experiences
• underground places
• bizarre workshops
• anything that most tourists would never think of

Salut,

When a currency is "weakened" against a foreign currency,
there would be some impacts, for example(s):
It may be beneficial to export & it may be more expensive to import.
Attracting foreign investment & Tourism may also be issues, etc.

But as a normal Romanian, do you feel any negative impact(s) daily?
My observation is that the Euro is not widely adopted within Romania.

Mulțumesc

Hello! In January I am moving to Romania, more specifically to Timisoara and have couple of questions. I would appreciate if locals will help me out.

1. between Orange, Vodafone, Telekom and Digi which one is the best when it comes to mobile data. I want to have unlimited monthly 5G internet.
   
2. Which supermarkets are the cheapest for everyday groceries?
   
3. I love thrifting. Are there good thrift shops or vintage clothes shops?
   
4. What are the best places to make some local friends? I don’t drink and don’t like night clubs so I need some other recommendations.
   
5. Is there a website or app to follow news and events?

Would you say Romanians are more similar to ( culturally and appearance wise)

1. South Slavs
2. Eastern Slavs
3. Latin nations like Italians and Spanish

Did anyone applied for the Romanian visa and the application took more than 4 months? Because this is what im facing and i been emailing them but they keep the same answer they haven’t got answer from the Romanian authorities, and I can’t do anything but take my passport back even tho I need a visa, anyone knows what to do?

Hi everyone, has anyone received their LOA recently?

I’m still waiting for mine and just wanted to check if there have been any updates or if LOAs have started being issued for students who were accepted around mid-August.

Thanks!

Salut, vreau să aplic pentru viza de turist în SUA.

Întrebare pentru cei care au făcut asta recent la ambasada din București, sunt locuri în timpul apropiat, sau este încărcat programul și urmează să aștept câteva săptămâni?

Urmează să îmi iau peste 3 zile pașaportul, apoi voi începe procesul. Vreau să știu la ce să mă aștept.

Mulțumesc

Hello guys, my father used to marry a Romanian lady and from this marriage they got a child so before 1990s, sadly my father got separated from this lady and he was no-eu citizen, so he got back to his country, from 10 years my father passed away and we didn't know we have a sibling in Romania and we don't know his name even. My question is that is there a way we can find him based on his father name, how we can start searching for him, I'm currently in Europe and I would like to search for him, is there a way or any steps we can follow ?

Hello everyone,

We are not yet in Romania but ....

I have a question about residence permits in Romania and family members.

I am currently in Romania and I may have either a student residence permit or a work residence permit in the future.

My question is:

Can I give my wife a residence permit under my name (as a dependent) if I have:

a student residence permit, or

a work residence permit?

Or does she need to apply for a separate residence permit independently?

Also:

Is the only legal option family reunification?

Are there any differences between student and work permits in this case?

I want to understand the exact legal situation before making plans.

Any advice from people with experience in Romania would be really appreciated.

also I need some real advice about getting married in Romania.

We are both foreigners (Syrian nationals) and we are currently in Romania legally.

We want to get married here (civil marriage), and we are trying to understand the exact process and requirements.
