Top fifteen immigrant populations by 2017: | *Over half of the country's foreign-born residents originate from '''Republic of Moldova'''. Owing to the former period of union between most of Moldova and Romania, many Moldovans are eligible for Romanian citizenship on the basis of descent. Many immigrants from the Republic of Moldova prefer to settle in the '''Romanian counties from the region of Moldavia''', because there the culture is more similar to their home country.<ref name="imm">"Immigration to Romania", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Romania, accessed 5 July 2021. | ||
Estimate immigrants to Romania (as of mid-2017, including refugees): | *Romanians in '''Italy''' became a significant population after 1999, due to a large wave of emigration. A large part of Romanian emigrants went to '''Spain or Italy''', whose national languages are Romance languages like Romanian. They were followed by another wave beginning in 2002, when Romanian citizens obtained the right to move to any Schengen Zone country without a visa. As of 2019, there were 1,145,718 Romanian citizens living in Italy.<ref>"Romanians in Spain", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanians_in_Italy, accessed 5 July 2021.</ref> | ||
