Summary/Abstract: Starting 2002, and especially after 2004, the Romanian emigration started to be systematically studied by experts in different fields: sociology, economics, geography and social science - a normal step taking into account the intensity the phenomenon is being occurred recently. Much less studied is immigration towards Romania, although this phenomenon is equally important, due to, inter alia, the responsibilities of Romania as a EU member state, especially at this moment, when the Southern European countries claim solidarity in sharing the burden of unwanted immigration (including here the refugee). In this paper the author makes a review of the current features of immigration in Romania and formulates some personal conclusions and assessments regarding the perspectives of the process in Romania.
