The present study deals with immigration issues by investigating a particular category of immigrants, with the formal name of third country nationals, foreign citizens of countries non European Union members and who are not refugees or asylum seekers. Based on the results of an empirical research on information needs of immigrants from Romania, the article seeks to debate the difficulties faced in their process of integration, in relations with the authorities and with the community. The study also calls into question some proposals to improve the situation of immigrants in Romania suggested in the discussion groups.
