If you’re considering a move to Europe for work, Lithuania is a fantastic option. Nestled in the Baltic region, it shares borders with other EU countries like Latvia and Poland, providing a convenient gateway to explore both Northern and Eastern Europe.
Lithuania is a welcoming country for foreigners, with a growing expat community. While Lithuanian is the official language, many businesses operate in English, particularly in major cities like Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipeda. With affordable real estate prices, it’s possible to sell your home abroad and buy a house in Lithuania. Additionally, the tax system is straightforward and beneficial, making it an even more appealing destination for those looking to settle in Europe.
Key Details About the Application Process
Immigrating to Lithuania begins with an invitation from a Lithuanian employer, typically in the form of an employment contract (mediation letter), which will be sent to you once it is ready. Next, you will complete your online application through the Lithuanian Migration Information System and schedule your visa appointment. After obtaining your Temporary Residence Permit (TRP), you will be ready to travel to Lithuania and begin working with your employer.
Your TRP grants you the right to live and work in Lithuania as long as you remain employed with the company that invited you. Additionally, it provides a Schengen travel allowance, allowing free movement within the EU for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
The Lithuanian residence permit offers several advantages, including minimal document requirements and the option to apply through VFS in your home country for a faster immigration process. It also allows you to bring your family members through a family reunion program, providing more stability for your loved ones. After holding a temporary residence card for five years, you can apply for permanent residency and even citizenship, offering a long-term pathway to settle in Europe.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Passport scan (all pages)
