MOVE TO ROMANIA

Moving to Romania

Romania offers expats an exciting mix of a growing economy, vibrant cities, and stunning natural landscapes. Major cities such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, and Iași attract international professionals, creatives, and students. Bucharest stands out as a dynamic financial and business center with diverse job opportunities, while Cluj-Napoca has become an innovation and IT hub. Regions such as Transylvania, the Carpathian Mountains, and the Danube Delta also offer excellent quality of life and a wide range of leisure activities.

The cost of living is significantly lower compared to Switzerland, particularly for housing, services, and daily expenses. At the same time, Romania is investing heavily in infrastructure and technology, providing a solid education system as well as access to both public and private healthcare. More information is available from InterNations or the expat guides at Expat.com.
