Your Guide to Relocating to Romania: Everything You Need to Know

Romania – a country of rich legends, majestic castles, and lush forests, famously known as the birthplace of Dracula. But beyond the myths, Romania offers so much more: breathtaking landscapes, a vibrant culture shaped by Balkan, Slavic, and Latin influences, and a warm, welcoming population.

For non-EU nationals, Romania presents a unique opportunity to start fresh. With a growing job market, low cost of living, and strategic location within the European Union, it’s becoming one of Eastern Europe’s most attractive destinations for work and life. Whether you’re chasing professional growth, new adventures, or a better quality of life, EducaEu is here to guide you every step of the way.
