      Key Changes in Lithuania’s Immigration Policy

      1. Temporary Residence Permit Requirement (Effective July 2024):
        • As of July 2024, anyone entering Lithuania with a Schengen visa or visa-free access must obtain a temporary residence permit to work. This applies mainly to new applicants; those with existing work permits are exempt for now but must renew accordingly.
      2. Updated Application Process (Effective December 1, 2024):
        • Beginning in December, individuals applying for temporary residence permits or national visas via external service providers (e.g., visa application assistance) must apply only through providers in their home country. This change may result in more direct interactions with Lithuanian authorities.

        • Attend industry events or networking opportunities to connect with professionals in your field.
        • Check career pages on company websites for direct opportunities.
      2. Securing a National Visa (D):
        • Apply through the MIGRIS portal on migracija.lt, providing necessary documentation, including passport, employment contract, and proof of accommodation.
        • Keep in mind the new restriction on external service providers, which requires using a provider from your home country.
      3. Temporary Residence Permit Application:
        • Once in Lithuania on a National Visa (D), apply for a Temporary Residence Permit at the Migration Department. Prepare your employment contract, proof of financial stability, and health insurance documentation.
      4. Finalizing Employment:
        • With your residence permit approved, you can legally begin working in Lithuania, enjoying its dynamic job market and quality of life.
