Probably somewhere close to Sighisoara. I can basically work from anywhere (internet based business) but my wife would need to be near a large town to find some work to do. It'd also be handy for shopping and the odd night out. I like the idea of the country lifestyle, but I would need to get...

Comprehensive reply, thanks! You say you are doing the place up yourself cos you can't find workers. What about materials and stuff like that? Are there hardware stores up there? I'm in Bucharest, plenty here, but not sure of the situation out of the main cities. Sorry to bug you with some...

Thanks. Are there many expats living in that area? What is there to do there?

Hi Damian, The certificat de inregistrare is pretty easy to obtain. I suppose if someone wanted to obtain one without actually moving here they would be able to easily enough, assuming they could find someone will to make a rental contract for them for a month while you get the cert. Once you...

Hi Damian, The law states that 'an EU citizen who is not legally resident in Romania may buy land only after 2012.' Therefore, an EU citizen who IS "legally resident" in Romania CAN buy land now. The law then goes on to define a "legal resident" as a 'foreigner who has the right to live on...

To clarify, you do NOT need a company to buy property in Romania. This is clearly stated in the Romanian Real Estate legislation. If you are an EU citizen resident in Romania (and it's very quick, cheap, and simple to obtain a certificate of residence for Romania if you are an EU citizen) then...

A lot of expats buy land/villas here using a company. You might like to know that the government has introduced a new scheme regarding the taxes. This means that any company, regardless of its turnover, has to pay a minimum fixed amount of yearly income tax. It's not much, the minimum band being...
