Temporary residence permit (Lithuania work permit)
- The Lithuania work visa is not the only option for working in the country. The temporary residence permit for work enables obtaining the Lithuania work permit. This, the Lithuania work permit, is tailored to those planning to contribute their skills and talents over an extended period, and facilitates a seamless professional transition.
Permanent residence permit
- If you have lived in the country for five years on a Lithuania work permit, you can obtain a permanent residence permit. Permanent residence permit holders automatically obtain a Lithuania work permit, which allows working without any limitations.
Employer or job function change
- For Lithuania work permit holders, career transitions must often be accompanied by permission from the Migration Department to allow changing employers or job functions. This is an official procedure that needs to be completed by the employer.
For EU citizens
- EU citizens do not need to obtain a Lithuania work visa before coming to the country. However, individuals planning to stay in Lithuania for more than three months may need to obtain a Lithuania work permit for EU nationals.
Aware of the unique nature of every immigration journey, our dedicated team of immigration lawyers carefully assesses each process. Tailoring our approach to the specific details of your employee's relocation, we determine whether a Lithuania work visa, a particular type of Lithuania work permit or an alternative immigration option is the ideal solution for a smooth and personalised transition.

Housing
Diverse housing landscape, combining traditional architecture with modern urban developments
Moving to Lithuania means discovering a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity in its residential landscape, reflecting the nation's historical, cultural and economic heritage. Traditional Lithuanian architecture characterised by wooden structures and steeply pitched roofs dot the countryside, offering a window into the nation's rural history.
In urban centres such as Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda, modern apartment complexes blend seamlessly with historical buildings, creating a vibrant urban mosaic. Soviet-era apartment blocks, while gradually giving way to contemporary developments, are poignant reminders of Lithuania's recent past.
Relocation to Lithuania requires patience, diligence and a keen understanding of personal priorities. Vilnius, the capital, has a range of neighbourhoods, from the medieval charm of the Old Town to the sleek skyscrapers of the business district.

Healthcare
Multilingual consultations, accessible public and private services, tailored care for English speakers
We prioritise clients’ wellbeing, and we want to ensure you’re aware of the healthcare support available to you. Here are things you should know before moving to Lithuania.
Lithuanian is the official language used at medical establishments in Lithuania, but, depending on the doctor's qualifications, consultations may also be available in English, Russian and Polish.
Younger doctors at both public and private healthcare facilities are more likely to speak English. When registering at a clinic or booking an appointment, it's a good idea to ask the receptionist about the availability of doctors who speak your preferred language.
Lithuania has both public and private healthcare facilities, and all individuals, regardless of their insurance status, have access to both. However, uninsured persons are required to pay for the healthcare services provided by both private and public healthcare facilities.
Private healthcare providers operate under licenses issued by the Ministry of Health and charge for their services. Individuals moving to Lithuania may find private healthcare facilities particularly accommodating if English is their preferred language for medical consultations and services.
