We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions.
A Lithuanian Work Permit is an official authorization that allows non-EU citizens to legally work in Lithuania. It is typically issued to foreign nationals who have secured a job offer from a Lithuanian employer and meet specific qualifications and criteria.
There are no specific financial requirements for the permit itself, but your employer must meet legal standards, including paying the applicable salary for your position. You may need to demonstrate financial stability during the residence permit application process.
Lithuania’s economy is growing, and there is a high demand for foreign workers in sectors like IT, engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, and finance. Skilled professionals in these industries are highly sought after, making it easier to secure a permit.
The processing time generally takes 1 to 3 months. The time may vary depending on the complexity of the application, the applicant’s nationality, and the workload of the immigration authorities.
After holding a temporary residence permit linked to your work permit for 5 years, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency in Lithuania. You must maintain continuous employment and residence during this period.
Yes, your spouse and dependent children can apply for family reunification residence permits to join you in Lithuania once your work permit and residence permit are approved.
A work permit allows non-EU citizens to work in Lithuania, while a residence permit allows them to legally reside in the country. After receiving your work permit, you must apply for a temporary residence permit (TRP) to live in Lithuania for the duration of your employment.
It is typically valid for the duration of your employment contract, usually ranging from 1 to 2 years. The permit can be renewed as long as your employment continues.
If you change employers in Lithuania, you will need to apply for a new permit with your new employer. The new employer must meet the legal requirements for hiring foreign workers. It is important to notify immigration authorities of any changes in your employment status.
Non-EU/EEA citizens who want to work in Lithuania need a work permit. EU/EEA citizens can work in Lithuania without a work permit but must register their residence if staying longer than 90 days.
Yes, after obtaining your permit, you must apply for a temporary residence permit to legally reside in Lithuania. The work permit allows you to work, while the residence permit allows you to live in the country.
If your employment ends before your permit expires, you must notify the Lithuanian authorities. You may need to apply for a new permit with another employer or leave Lithuania before your permit’s expiration date.
Yes, non-EU citizens can apply for a self-employment visa or freelancer permit if they wish to work independently in Lithuania. The application process and requirements differ from those for a traditional work permit.
The initial steps of the application process, including document preparation, can be completed remotely. However, certain parts of the application, such as submitting your passport or biometrics, must be done in person at a Lithuanian consulate or the Migration Department (or VFS Center).
To extend, you must apply for a renewal before your current permit expires. You will need to provide updated employment information and ensure that your employer continues to meet the requirements for hiring foreign nationals.
