Legal assistance in Romania for clients from South Korea
South Korean investors often operate in industrial supply chains with seconded specialists.
Typical matters for South Korean clients
- Manufacturing and automotive-supply subsidiaries
- Work permits for Korean specialists
- Commercial disputes and arbitration
South Korea 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
- Law 31/1990 on companies (consolidated, legislatie.just.ro)
- Government Ordinance 25/2014 – employment of foreign nationals in Romania
- Romanian Code of Civil Procedure, Book VII – recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
- 1958 New York Convention – recognition of foreign arbitral awards
- Double taxation convention between Romania and the country concerned (current text on anaf.ro)
