You first need a temporary residence / stay visa. This visa can be obtained by by foreign citizens who enter Romania with a long stay visa. The temporary residence visa is issued if the applicant has the following

Do you have either of these visas ?

For the permanent residence visa you need the following

Proof of legal and continuous stay of minimum 5 years on national territory with a maximum absence of consecutive 6 months.
Have national insurance
Have means of subsistence - at least the minimum income level guaranteed in Romania
They prove to know the Romanian language at a satisfactory level.
They do not represent a danger to national security.

If you are a student, not working, and do not fulfill all of the above then you will not get permanent residency.
