Bucharest, the country’s cultural, industrial, and economic heart, offers plenty of opportunities to expats seeking to change their lifestyle. The capital, known as the Little Paris of the East, is unique due to the diversity of its architectural style and broad culture. The city’s lively atmosphere and development opportunities make it one of the top relocation choices for foreigners.

Bucharest, a popular destination for expats.

According to a study conducted by Curs de Guvernare, by the middle of 2022, in Romania there were officially about 84,900 foreign employees  from 178 countries, which is almost twice as many compared toJune 2019. Most foreign employees were recruited to work in construction, but Romania also managed to attract highly skilled labour. Thus, according to official statistics, there are almost 3,100 expats working in the IT&C industry in the country, most of them from Ukraine and Italy.

However, Bucharest also offers work opportunities in many others fields of activity. Some  foreigners  established in the country  work in healthcare, social assistance, education, or t financial brokerage.

Expats who come to work in Romania are usually divided in two categories: those who work in multinationals and those who come as entrepreneurs. According to  Daily News, around 70% of foreign executives and diplomats  bring their families with them, which is why they prefer the Northern area of Bucharest, as it has some of the finest international schools and kindergartens, parks and green spaces, as well as modern residential buildings with large surfaces and premium finishes.

Depending on their preferences, expats can rent completely furnished apartments equipped with cutting-edge technology, giving them the sensation of a warm and inviting home.
