Having retired not so long ago I am considering a move to Romania where the cost of living like housing etc. is still reasonably cheap. Considering the North East around Iasi.
The only worry is Health really. I have lived in the Caribbean and other countries for some years so I do not really belong to any European health Insurance system.
So therefore wanted to ask if someone knows if Europeans can join the Romanian public health insurance system and if so how much is it likely to cost?
Plus any other useful information on this subject would be appreciated.
Also have another question about registration.
Although I guess in theory its possible just to live there as there are not many passport checks these days since Romania has been in the EU.
but guess for long term it's best to register.
Anyway in the case of joining health system this would obviously be required.
Is it difficult to register residence there for European citizens or does one to have to go through all the usual rigmarole like in other countries, police checks, Financial records, Etc?
Well I lived in Romania in the old days not long after Ceausescu fell. In those days everything could be solved with an ... errm.. "donation" to the right people but I guess those days are gone now, since joining the EU.
Ahh the Wild East..Those were the days.
