Question 1

Do you have live jobs posted on the site?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not post live job vacancies. Instead, we build a pool of vetted, employer-ready Kenyan candidates. When Romanian employers have openings, we match verified candidates from our pool to suitable opportunities. The roles and salaries we reference are typical examples of common placements, not current vacancies.

Question 2

How long does vetting take?

Accepted Answer

The vetting timeline depends largely on how quickly you provide correct and complete documents. Typically: Profile creation takes 15-30 minutes. Document review takes 3-7 business days after all documents are uploaded. If documents need correction or additional items are required, this extends the timeline. Being "Employer-Ready" can take 2-4 weeks from registration if documents are in order.

Question 3

Do I need to speak Romanian?

Accepted Answer

Romanian language is not required for most positions. Many employers use English as a working language, especially in hospitality, IT, and international companies. However, basic Romanian is helpful for daily life. Some candidates choose to learn basics before or after arrival.

Question 4

What documents do I need?

Accepted Answer

Core documents include: Valid Kenyan passport (18+ months validity recommended), police clearance certificate from eCitizen, medical fitness certificate, educational certificates and transcripts, professional certifications (if applicable), CV/resume in English, passport-size photographs, and translations/apostilles where required. See our Requirements page for the complete list.

Question 5

What is IGI?

Accepted Answer

IGI (Inspectoratul General pentru Imigrări) is the Romanian General Inspectorate for Immigration. They are the government authority responsible for issuing work permits and residence permits for foreign workers in Romania. All employment documentation must meet IGI requirements for visa approval.

Question 6

What if my visa is rejected?

Accepted Answer

If your visa application is rejected, we help you understand the reasons and guide you through the reapplication process. Common rejection reasons include incomplete documentation or errors. However, we cannot guarantee visa approval - final decisions rest with Romanian authorities (IGI). Reapplication is possible after addressing the issues identified.

Question 7

Can I bring my family to Romania?

Accepted Answer

Yes, family reunification is possible after you establish residency and employment in Romania. You can apply for permits for your spouse and dependent children. The process typically takes several months. See our Long-Term Options page for details on family reunification requirements and pathways to permanent residence.

Question 8

How do I avoid scams?

Accepted Answer

To protect yourself: Never pay fees through personal mobile money numbers or unofficial channels. Official payments are processed only through channels provided after onboarding. Verify all communications come from @horizoncrossings.com email addresses. Contact us directly via official WhatsApp (+40 376 300 662) or email (info@horizoncrossings.com) if you receive suspicious requests.
