Romania: retired military in romania:

I'm a retired Postal worker and I kept my health insurance through the federal system. Check with your company, but BC/BS covers worldwide and waives the co-pays. I'm going to keep a US banking institution with direct deposit and using a debit card to pay living costs. Send me an e-mail if you want to compare notes.

Romania: Hard to Find Unfurnished House for Rent in Sibiu Area:

I believe most houses and apartments are personal residences kept when someone dies or temporarily moves. They are not investment properties as Americans may understand. I've even seen apartments rented out for years that have full bookshelves and incidental personal items. I'd put your stuff in storage for the short term and settle into life there while you explore options.

Romania: expats in Cluj?:

The co-owner of Transylvania Hostel is American. http://hostelcluj.com/

Romania: Long term visa:

In my conversations with ex-pats who seek to follow the proper procedures in many things in Romania and who get the run-around I find a fairly common conclusion. Why is it so difficult for us? We want to follow the rules. Most Romanian bureaucrats don't have a clue as to what the rules are and few seem to want to learn them. In the past their way of doing things was "Do what you want and if you run afoul of the law slip the cop/bureaucrat some money." That's changing slowly, but it leaves rule-followers in limbo. To Jacuro: As I read your answer it should be fairly easy. 1. Married to a Romanian 2. Proof of residency 3. Proof of financial resources 4. Proof of acceptable insurance My question to you is the likelihood that a long=term visa is achievable with 2, 3, and 4 covered, but not #1. My substitute for #1 would be letters of reference from prominent local citizens vowing for my character and desirability as a resident.

Romania: Want English speaking job so I can move to Romania soon:

You know the pay is probably sh*t, but I know a Brit in Bucuresti who runs a headhunting operation. Try him and tell him John sent you. Paul Wood Address: No. 1, Nicolae Titulescu Street, Bl. A7, Sc.

Lithuania: VISA - OVER 90 DAY VISIT:

I am not speaking with any great authority, but if I'm not mistaken in most European countries you can stay a maximum of 90 days without a visa and then must leave for 90 days before re-entry. So if you are on the road a lot, crossing borders it seems you can finesse the system quite easily. Good luck with doing the math.
