Job Vacancy Services places international logistics workers into Romanian employers and coordinates the work permit, long-stay visa, documentation, and relocation so your move is structured throughout.
Logistics roles JVCS recruits for in Romania
- Warehouse and distribution operatives
- Pickers and packers
- Forklift and reach-truck operators
- Goods-in and dispatch staff
Day to day, that means picking, packing, and moving goods in distribution hubs, working within scanning and warehouse-management systems, and meeting throughput and accuracy targets on shifts.
Work permit and visa timeline for Romania
Most non-EU candidates enter on an employment work permit obtained by the employer, followed by a long-stay employment visa (type D/AM) and a residence permit.
Romania operates within the EU single-permit framework, with a 90-day statutory decision target on a complete application (Directive 2011/98/EU). The employer secures the work permit first, then the candidate applies for the long-stay visa, so sequencing the steps early is what keeps arrival on schedule. JVCS gives you a realistic, role-specific timeline once the employer and route are confirmed, rather than a single headline number.
JVCS placements in logistics across Romania
JVCS has placed 6,000+ workers across 4 European offices, owning the full chain from sourcing to post-arrival support.
Logistics placements into Romania follow a structured route from documentation and the work permit through the long-stay visa to arrival, so your move stays predictable from the first step.
Romania reports shortages in construction and transport and logistics among other sectors (European Labour Authority, 2024), supporting demand for international workers.

How JVCS handles your documentation
Documentation is where cross-border moves most often slip, so JVCS owns it end to end. We review your documents early, flag any gaps before they cause delays, and run the permit paperwork in parallel with sourcing rather than in sequence.
From there we coordinate the work permit, travel, and arrival, and stay available through your first weeks on the ground — a single point of accountability for the whole process.
