Romanian parents wishing to work abroad can have their children cared for by relatives
Parents need to notify authorities of their intention to leave the country 40 days prior to their departure. They need to leave the children in the care of a relative in order to avoid paying the fine. The law is applicable if both parents work temporary abroad. The person entitled to take care of the child/children needs to be capable of pursuing their obligations.
Moreover, the initiative obliges teachers to notify authorities if they notice anything wrong with the child whose parents are abroad. Teachers can get a 5,000 lei to 15,000 lei fine if they fail to announce authorities.
