About 3 months ago, HotNews.ro presented the strange case of a Filipino nanny who was “suffered” by the helplessness of the state. The Immigration Inspector General (IGI) then decided to fine her and deport her.
Her employer defended her, and on Wednesday the case was brought to court, where she finally won. The court decided to cancel the decision of the MHI.
It all started with a request to extend the residence permit.
We recall the following case:
A woman from Bucharest managed to bring a nanny from the Philippines to the country to look after her children. It was a year ago. Everything was done legally, with an orderly contract, with taxes paid to the state, etc
The nanny’s residence permit was expiring, so she decided to extend it. According to the law, the deadline for submitting documents for extension is 30 days. In the case of the nanny in the Philippines, the application for appointment to submit the documents was submitted in 19 days.
It should be noted that in order to be able to submit documents, advance registration is required. It is not possible otherwise, because the General Inspectorate for Immigration takes into account the physical submission of documents.
The portal says that the Inspectorate must appoint them within 15 days. Well, the employer (woman) did not receive anything. No information, no record.
The employer and the nanny continued to wait until, surprise!: after the residence permit expired, inspectors came to the employer’s home and fined: the woman who hired her was fined 10,000 lei.
In the case of the nanny, she was taken to the police, fined 400 lei and ordered to leave the country for no more than 15 days. Since the decision was immediately challenged in court, the Filipina was able to stay in the country until her case was decided by the judicial authorities. In the end, she won the case.
In August, even the IGI said it was aware of the request to extend the residence visa, but the 30-day deadline had not been met.
Furthermore, the IGI document shows that the authorities waited 5 days (of illegal stay) before imposing a fine and issuing a deportation order.
Basically, even though the institution knew that there was a request to extend the residence permit, albeit with a delay, it preferred to apply sanctions.
