The domestic legal framework applicable to migrant workers in Romania includes five major legal instruments: the Labour Code (Law No. 53 of 2003); regulations on employment and posting of foreigners in the territory of Romania (Emergency Ordinance No. 56/20 of 2007); regulations on the regime applicable to foreigners in Romania (Emergency Ordinance No. 194/12 of 2002); the public system of pensions and other social security rights (Law No. 19/17 of 2000); and provisions on the recognition of foreign diplomas and vocational qualifications (Law No. 200 of 2004). 60. Social protection benefits in the case of unemployment cover third-country nationals, including stateless persons. Unemployment benefits are monthly payments, determined according to the length of contributions to the unemployment insurance system at the time of employment. These benefits amount to a maximum of 12 months when contributions to the employment system have been higher than 10 years. 61. Seasonal work is regulated by Emergency Ordinance No. 56 of 2007. A seasonal worker is a person working in Romania for a limited period of time, at most 6 months within a 12-month interval, under an individual labour contract in a seasonal sector. Seasonal workers require a work authorization issued by the Romanian Immigration Office at the request of the employer, which cannot be prolonged for the pursuit of another type of work. 62. Romanian legislation allows immigration for family reunification. Aliens holding a valid residence permit may request family reunification, inter alia, with the spouse; dependent children and dependent relatives of the sponsor or his/her spouse of first-degree kinship in the ascending line, in cases where they are unable to look after themselves. The visa is generally issued for a period of 90 days. Residence permits can be extended for the duration of the sponsor’s permit or, up to five years for family members of a Romanian citizen. 4.
