Why UAE-based founders choose a Romanian SRL

EU single-market access

A Romanian SRL is a full member of the EU single market — invoice clients across the EU, trade without internal customs barriers and operate from inside the bloc rather than outside it.

EU client & marketplace trust

An EU company with an EU VAT number is often easier for EU customers, marketplaces and platforms to work with — and unlocks EU banking and payment processors that expect an in-bloc entity.

Competitive taxation (2026)

Micro-company 1% on turnover where eligible (cap €100,000, at least one employee), otherwise 16% profit tax and 16% on dividends. Confirm the figures that apply to your case.

English-speaking remote service

We run the whole process in English from start to finish, coordinating with partner lawyers and accountants in Romania — no Romanian language skills needed.

An EU holding or operating entity

Useful as an EU operating or holding company alongside a UAE company — for EU contracts, EU substance and an EU-facing presence. We do not advise on your UAE position; confirm it with a local advisor.

Built for non-residents

100% foreign ownership, no Romanian residency required, and a NIF tax ID instead of a local personal number — designed for founders based abroad.

How it works from the UAE

1. Power of attorney

A PoA lets us file everything from the UAE without you travelling. Signed digitally or notarised/legalised locally.

2. NIF tax ID

Non-residents get a Romanian tax identification number (NIF) — we obtain it for you, no Romanian CNP needed.

3. Legalisation & translation

The UAE has joined the Hague Apostille Convention, so your documents can be apostilled/legalised and sworn-translated — we coordinate it, at cost.

4. Registered office

Your SRL needs a Romanian registered address — included for the first year.

5. ONRC → CUI

We file at the Trade Register and follow it through to your registration certificate and unique tax ID (CUI).

6. VAT & bank account

VAT registration plus guidance to open a business bank account that accepts non-resident-owned companies.

From the UAE — FAQ

Do I need to travel to Romania (or leave the UAE) to open the company?

No. From the UAE we incorporate remotely using a power of attorney. Documents are signed digitally or notarised/legalised locally — the UAE has joined the Hague Apostille Convention, so your documents can be apostilled/legalised and sworn-translated (please confirm current requirements with us).

Why open an EU company alongside my UAE company?

A Romanian SRL gives you an entity inside the EU single market — useful for invoicing EU clients and marketplaces, holding an EU VAT number, accessing EU banking and payment processors, and building substance in the EU. Many founders run it alongside a UAE company as an EU operating or holding entity. We do not advise on UAE tax or legal matters — confirm your own position with a local advisor.

What taxes will my Romanian company pay?

For 2026: micro-company regime 1% on turnover (cap €100,000, at least one employee), or standard 16% profit tax; 16% on dividends; VAT at 21% standard / 11% reduced, with a registration threshold of RON 395,000. Always confirm the figures that apply to your case.

Can a UAE-based founder own 100% of the company?

Yes. Foreign individuals and companies — including founders resident in the UAE — can own and direct 100% of a Romanian SRL. No Romanian residency is required.
