Study and Work

Question:

I am 42 years old. Am I too mature to apply? I have a wife and 5 children. What will be the immigration and visa requirements for our family and will there be any kind of part time work available? What schools will my children be able to attend?

Answer

There are no age restrictions for applicants. You may apply as long as you are over the age of 18 at the beginning of the academic year. Different immigration regulations apply to the the various nationalities. It is best for you to contact your closest Romanian or Argentinean Consulate or embassy regarding this matter.

Part time work for foreigners in Romania is limited. In Argentina there is a greater possibility of finding a part time job. The average monthly salary in Romania is around €350 at the time of this writing (2006) and in Argentina around 250USD for employees without a university degree. There are various English language private schools that foreign children may attend in both countries.

Question:

Are there part-time jobs available in Romania for foreign students?

Answer

Foreign students may find part-time jobs somewhat challenging to come by. However Romania has good Internet connectivity and one may use the Internet to look for online jobs as a part time alternate source of income.

Please make sure that you do not come to Romania with expectations of financing your study expanses by working part time. Although not impossible, it may be challenging for one to find a well paid part time job in Romania that will sufficiently subsidize their living expenses and tuition costs.

That being said, lets also understand that anything is possible! Who says that you won't get an awesome job posing as a part time model or writing articles for a local English language newspaper.

We want to convey that it is better for you to have your finances taken care of before embarking on your study program. Your principal activity in this adventure is to study not to work! Besides studying medicine requires full time focus.
