If you hold an EU passport, your path to forming a Romanian SRL is generally smoother and more direct than it is for non-EU founders, but it is not automatic. As an EU citizen you benefit from freedom of establishment, which means you can become the shareholder and administrator of a Romanian limited liability company without first securing a separate business visa or residence permit. What still applies to everyone is the substance: a valid registered office, correctly drafted administrator declarations, and a properly chosen business activity code. Skipping or mis-handling any of these is the most common reason an otherwise simple file is delayed at the Trade Register.
The framework for your case is the same one that governs every Romanian SRL for foreigners, so the principles you read elsewhere on this site still hold. The practical difference is that, for European founders, fewer documents usually need sworn translation and the identity verification step tends to be lighter, which often shortens the overall timeline after document review.
The advantages of EU citizenship are real, but they do not remove the formal requirements that every Romanian SRL must satisfy. A registered office in Romania has to be in place before the file can be submitted, the administrator must sign specific declarations confirming they meet the legal conditions to hold the role, and the company's object of activity has to be expressed through the correct CAEN codes. Choosing a CAEN code that does not match what you actually intend to do can create problems later with banking, VAT registration, or licensing for regulated activities.
In a typical European founder scenario, the building blocks are:
Because these elements have to align with one another, it is worth confirming the full list of required documents for your specific situation before you start gathering paperwork. The exact set depends on your country of citizenship, your current country of residence, the number of shareholders, and whether any shareholder is a foreign legal entity rather than an individual.
After we review your documents, we prepare the incorporation file and the declarations, reserve the company name, and arrange the registered office where you need one. In many standard cases, an EU citizen does not have to travel to Romania for the whole process, because signing can often be handled remotely or by power of attorney, depending on your documents and current residence. We will tell you which signing route fits your case rather than assume it in advance.
Once the SRL is registered, you receive the incorporation certificate and the company's identification details, after which you can move on to opening a bank account and, where applicable, registering for VAT. Accounting is a separate ongoing matter; we can refer you to an accountant after incorporation so your new company stays compliant from the first month.
For an EU citizen, Romanian SRL formation starts from €300, a registered office from €150 per year, and our remote SRL plus registered office package from €450. If you later need to change the administrator, shareholders, registered office, or activity codes, company changes start from €200. These are starting points: the final quote depends on your citizenship, the documents you can provide, the number of shareholders, whether any translations are required, and whether the shareholder is an individual or a foreign legal entity. We give you a firm figure only after we have seen your situation.
Your dedicated contact keeps the context of your EU identity document, residence and proposed company structure, and coordinates the formation file through completion.
Every European founder file looks straightforward until the details surface, so the most useful first step is a short review. To let us confirm whether your case is standard or needs extra formalities, send us your citizenship, your current country of residence, whether you need a Romanian registered office, and the business activity you intend to carry out. With that, we can tell you what the EU citizen route to register a company in Romania looks like for you, outline the documents, and give you a concrete quote. Reach us via WhatsApp or the contact form and we will respond with the next steps.
The first checks are national ID or passport details, current residence address, administrator role, registered office option, CAEN activity choice. We use them to confirm the document list, representation and signing route.
Possibly. Remote handling depends on the available documents, signing method, translation or authentication needs and whether the ownership structure is standard.
Checking them first confirms that the shareholder, administrator, registered office and signing details can be documented consistently before anything is filed with ONRC.
