Agencies that succeed in the Romania corridor are the ones that can predict the timeline. The process is sequential — each stage depends on the one before it — so knowing the stages lets you plan candidate engagement, manage expectations, and avoid bottlenecks. Here is the practical timeline.
1. Stage 1 — Verified employer demand
What happens: The employer confirms a genuine labour need and prepares demand documentation.
What must be true before moving on:
- The employer is registered and identifiable.
- The occupation, numbers and location are specific.
- Terms are in writing.
Agency action: Verify — never accept a verbal demand.
2. Stage 2 — Employer-side documentation
What happens: The employer assembles the full document set (registration, vacancy, contract terms, accommodation arrangements).
Bottleneck risk: This is where most delays start. Incomplete employer documents stall everything downstream.
Agency action: Confirm completeness before engaging candidates.
3. Stage 3 — Candidate sourcing and screening
What happens: Candidates are identified, screened and matched to the specific roles.
What to prepare:
- Trade experience proof.
- Qualification / skill certificates.
- Medical fitness.
- Police clearance.
- Passport with sufficient validity.
Agency action: Screen for the actual role — not a generic profile.
4. Stage 4 — Candidate documentation and attestation
What happens: Candidate documents are completed, translated where required, attested and legalised / apostilled.
Bottleneck risk: Wrong sequence or expiring certificates.
Agency action: Run attestation in the correct order and mind validity windows.
5. Stage 5 — Permit processing
What happens: The employer-side permit process advances.
Agency action: Keep candidates informed; do not promise dates you cannot control.
6. Stage 6 — Visa application
What happens: Once the permit side is in order, the visa application proceeds.
Agency action: Ensure the document set is consistent with the permit — no mismatches.
7. Stage 7 — Pre-departure preparation
What happens: Travel, insurance, briefing, accommodation confirmation.
Agency action: Brief candidates properly — first week, culture, rights, workplace expectations.
8. Stage 8 — Arrival and onboarding
What happens: Workers arrive, are received, and begin onboarding.
Agency action: Confirm arrival and check in with the employer.
9. The agency's timeline discipline
The agencies that build sustainable corridors:
- Never compress the timeline to win a mandate.
- Never promise a date controlled by a third party.
- Always communicate the current stage honestly.
Speed that skips a stage is not speed — it is risk.
