Obligations for parents going abroad to work
The parent who is going to work abroad has the obligation to notify this intention to the Social Assistance Department (DAS) Târgu Mureș at least 40 days before leaving the country.
The notification must contain the name of the person who will be responsible for the child's care during the absence of the parents or guardian, as appropriate.
Confirmation of the person who will keep the child is made by the guardianship court (Târgu Mureș Court) in accordance with the legal provisions. After receiving the decision of delegation of parental authority, the parent or the person in whose care the child is, will submit a copy of it to the Social Welfare Department of Targu Mures.
The person designated to take care of the child must be part of the extended family, at least 18 years old, and must meet the material conditions and moral guarantees necessary for raising and caring for a child.
These provisions also apply if both parents are going to work in another country. Failure to comply with the legal provisions leads to a fine of 500-1000 RON.
