Many people from the Republic of Moldova also have Romanian citizenship, and some have Bulgarian citizenship. This makes them EU citizens, and they can live and work freely in Germany.

Who can apply with us

We hire applicants with a valid passport or ID card from an EU country. For people from Moldova, this is usually a document from Romania or Bulgaria. In that case, you do not need a visa or a work permit. If you already live in Germany and have a residence permit that allows work, you can also apply.

What is not enough

  • Only the biometric Moldovan passport. It allows visa-free travel (90 days within 180 days), but not work.
  • Expired EU documents. Please apply for a new document first.

How it works

After the registration, your tax ID (Steuer-ID) arrives by post. You also open a bank account and choose a health insurance fund – we explain how to do this. Details under Moving and registration.

Frequently asked questions

No. It allows visa-free stays in the Schengen Area of up to 90 days within 180 days, but not work. You need a valid passport or ID card from an EU country or a German residence permit that allows work.
Is a Romanian ID card enough?
Yes. A valid Romanian or Bulgarian ID card is just as good as a passport.
Does the placement cost anything?
No. Our service is free for applicants.
Do I need to speak German?
German is a plus. But we also consider applications from people who do not speak German yet.
