Lithuanian Residence Permit based on a Work Permit

Lithuanian Residence Permit based on a Work Permit

This is a program not related to business immigration and is suitable for non-business-related clients willing to relocate to Europe from outside of the EU.

Advantages of living in Lithuania:

•  
  Lithuania is part of the EU, so a residence permit in Lithuania can enable a foreign citizen to move freely around Europe;
•  
  This country has many attractions, and you can have a fascinating time here;
•  
  Real estate prices are affordable; you can sell an apartment at home and buy a house in this country;
•  
  Convenient tax system.

Lithuanians are friendly to immigrants, it is very easy to adapt to the environment. It is almost impossible to face rudeness or aggression. There is no bias towards immigrants, other religions, and skin color. The total population is a bit under 3 million people. Lithuania has borders with three other EU countries – Poland, Estonia, and Latvia. Vilnius, its capital, has a population of six hundred thousand people. In recent years, the migrant workers’ level has doubled.

From the beginning of the 2023 year, the Migration Department has started providing the service of issuing TRP in Lithuania through an external service provider VFS Global. Before this, applying for a residence permit was possible only in Lithuania’s migration department directly. For this reason, you had to get a visa to come to Lithuania before that. Nowadays, it is possible to apply and obtain a two-year TRP card through VFS global visa centers that are spread around the globe without a need to separately apply for a visiting visa to come to Lithuania to apply for a residence permit.

Each year Lithuania’s Labor Exchange Department announces a list of professions that are in high demand and lacks local employees. The list each year remains more or less the same. Only a few professions are being removed or added new. This category of applicants will have simplified procedures to obtain a work and residence permit without a need to obtain permission to be employed from the labor of exchange department.
