No. As a Romanian citizen you have full EU freedom of movement. You can live and work in Germany without a visa, work permit, or any government approval. You just need to register your address at the local Einwohnermeldeamt after you arrive.

Yes. Romanian nursing diplomas earned after 2007 are automatically recognized across all EU member states under Directive 2005/36/CE. No equivalency exam and no lengthy Anerkennung process. If your diploma was earned before 2007, you may need additional documentation, but docdocjob will guide you.

Most hospitals require B1 or B2 level German. The good news: most employers fund your courses from A1 to B2, either online before you move or in person once you arrive. Romania has a strong tradition of German language education, so many nurses already have a foundation.

Hospital nurses in Germany earn EUR 3,500 to 4,500 per month gross, plus overtime bonuses, night shift supplements, and holiday allowances. That is roughly 5 times the average Romanian nurse salary. Even after adjusting for higher cost of living, the net increase is substantial.

For Romanian nurses, the typical timeline is 3 to 6 months from signup to starting work. This is much faster than for non-EU nurses (10-14 months) because you do not need a visa and your diploma is automatically recognized. The main variable is your German language level.

Yes, 100% free. docdocjob is paid by the German hospitals that hire through the platform. You will never be charged a fee for creating a profile, getting matched, or being placed. Unlike traditional agencies that charge EUR 2,000 to 5,000, we believe nurses should never pay to find a job.

The highest demand is in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Stuttgart. However, there are excellent opportunities in mid-sized cities like Freiburg, Heidelberg, and Dresden where the cost of living is lower. docdocjob lets you filter by city.

Absolutely. As EU citizens, your spouse and children also have full freedom of movement. They can live, work, and study in Germany without any special permits. Your children are entitled to free public education, and your family has access to the German healthcare system from day one.
