Q: How can a foreign founder incorporate a Romanian SRL without travelling to Romania?
A: The entire process can be completed remotely via notarised power of attorney (apostilled if issued outside Romania) and digital signatures. No travel, visa, or residence permit is needed. The typical timeline is 1–2 weeks from engagement to fully registered company. Mihai Attorneys handles all filings remotely at fixed fees starting from €500.
