Legal assistance in Romania for clients from the United Arab Emirates
UAE-based investors frequently combine company setup with real-estate transactions.
Typical matters for UAE clients
- Romanian holding or operating company owned from the UAE
- Real-estate acquisitions and due diligence
- Recognition of arbitral awards in Romania
United Arab Emirates and Romania: non-EU rules
- Foreign owners may hold 100% of a Romanian SRL; corporate documents must be apostilled or legalised and translated.
- Non-EU employees generally need a work permit and a long-stay visa before starting work.
- Foreign court decisions need recognition in Romania; arbitral awards follow the New York Convention.
Legal basis

- Government Ordinance 25/2014 – employment of foreign nationals in Romania
- Romanian Code of Civil Procedure, Book VII – recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
