Great news! 🌟 Today, a lovely family from India who reunited in Romania last December received the first state allowances for their two children.
From submitting the file at the Timișoara Town Hall (on March 17th) until today, it took less than a month! 🚀 The process was incredibly smooth: we got a queue number instantly, and the staff was extremely helpful, working with us to ensure everything was perfect.
What we included in the file:
✅ Birth & Marriage certificates (original + legalized translations).
✅ Residence permits (IGI) and passports (originals and copies)
✅ Proof of employment in Romania (Reges/Revisal extract) for work history
✅GDPR forms and a bank statement for the IBAN.
Efficiency and kindness at their best! Congratulations to the family and a big thank you to the Town Hall team for their professionalism! 👏
