Foreign citizens who conduct economic activities in Romania find themselves in all kinds of situations that testify to the impotence of the state. This applies to both Europeans and Asians who bring food to our homes, we see them in restaurants or on buildings.

The case of an Italian entrepreneur who does not have health insurance in Romania, although he pays

An Italian entrepreneur from Romania (company partner – SRL) faces a difficult situation. He pays for health (CASS) because he has to, but he is not insured.

As a European citizen, he needs a certificate of registration confirming his residence. In fact, this is a simple piece of paper on the basis of which the authorities accept the CNP. The document is updated every 5 years.

As this period was coming to an end, it was slated for renewal. Well, he got that appointment a few months ago. Meanwhile he died.

Not because I forgot, but because I got an appointment after a long time.

Practically since July, he has not been insured, and since August the Health Center has not issued him an insurance certificate (then the 90-day period for which he was insured expired – according to the law).

A document sent by the Health Insurance House of the Municipality of Bucharest, also studied by HotNews.ro, mentions that he is no longer insured, after which the reasons are presented through a number of paragraphs from the law. Basically, the reason given is that he did not receive an extension of the right of residence.

*As you know, shareholders who are not employees pay for health after submitting the Unified Declaration.

He found out about this situation when he needed proof that he was insured to get a new certificate. Now, the authorities cannot issue him a new document certifying his residence because his health insurance has expired.

Asian workers have similar problems. They pay premiums, but until they get CNP they are not insured

He is not the only one in this situation. Similar things happen to Asians who come to the country, and HotNews.ro has presented such cases in recent years. The difference is that they need residence permits.

They come, hire, pay, but they don’t have TsNP. They do not receive health benefits because they do not appear in Health House systems. At ANAF, contributions are paid through a fiscal identification number until they receive a CNP, which takes months.

Romulus Badea, vice-president of the Association of Importers of Labor and partner of Soter&Partners, said last year that the worker arrives, has a visa, applies for a residence permit, but works.

“He waits for admission for 2 months, and the residence permit is issued for a month. The CNP is responsible for the residence permit. Until the CNP is obtained, health insurance cannot be obtained, even though the employer pays. It cannot be included in the 112 return submitted to ANAF every month,” he told us.

According to him, after having the KNP, the employer makes changes to D112. If there are 20 people in it, it is normal. If it has 2000, that’s a problem.

“If an employee has an accident, even if the money has been paid, they cannot get hospital insurance because they do not have a CNP and are not on the list of insured persons,” he told us.
